What the measures show

Influence and rank
The influence score measures institutional contributions to the top 10% most cited articles within each journal and publication year. Ties at the citation boundary receive shared credit. Institutional credit is divided among collaborating education institutions. Rank follows this score, with attributed citations breaking ties.
Highly cited share and attributed citations
Highly cited share divides the institution's highly cited contribution by its fractionally attributed article output. Attributed citations also divide credit across institutions. Both can contain fractions. Display rounding does not change the download values.
Publication growth
Growth compares article counts in 2015–2019 with 2020–2024. The counts show the starting and ending sizes alongside the percentage. They measure publications, not enrollment or faculty hiring.

The index includes institutions with at least 50 articles. Affiliations are measured at publication, including earlier faculty appointments. Books, teaching, admissions outcomes and research outside the selected journals are outside this dataset. Citations were collected on 23 October 2026; self-citations are included.
