This is the 10th consecutive year that The Times has published its world university rankings, which primarily evaluate the research strength of the participating institutions. More than 17,500 academics from 15 countries across five continents were surveyed, and over 50 authoritative figures in the education sector participated in the review of the rankings. These world university rankings continue to derive each university's total score from 13 performance indicators across 5 categories: research (30%), teaching (30%), citations (30%), international outlook (7.5%), and industry income (2.5%).
In the 2013-2014 world university rankings, the overall landscape of global educational strength has not changed significantly. The United States continues to lead the way, with the California Institute of Technology holding the top spot for the third consecutive year, Harvard University and the University of Oxford tied for 2nd, and Stanford University in 4th. Among the top 10, U.S. universities occupy 7 spots; among the top 200, U.S. universities occupy 77 spots.
Mainland Chinese institutions performed well overall, with both Peking University and Tsinghua University entering the top 50, and both seeing their rankings rise. A total of 10 universities entered the top 400.
Below is the complete list of the 2013-2014 World University Rankings Top 200.
