Leiden Ranking

The Leiden Ranking is a tool that measures the research performance of universities worldwide. It analyzes data from scientific publications to assess factors like how often a university's research is cited by others, indicating its influence and quality. The ranking focuses on transparent, quantitative metrics, primarily evaluating the quantity and impact of research output, while excluding factors like student satisfaction or teaching quality. It helps stakeholders understand the research strengths of different institutions, promoting informed comparisons based on scientific excellence rather than reputation alone.
