Published annually, QS World Rankings by Subject uses five indicators to rank universities: academic reputation, which this year drew on responses from over 130,000 academics worldwide; employer reputation, which this year drew on more than 75,000 survey responses from graduate employers worldwide; research citations per paper, which reflects the most prevalent publication patterns in a given discipline; H-index, which measures both the productivity and impact of published work; and international research network (by broad faculty area). The IRN Index reflects the ability of institutions to diversify the geography of their international research network by establishing sustainable research partnerships with other higher education institutions.
