Ranking Research Impact

A team at the University of Western Australia has ranked the world' top 500 universities by research impact. The table is based on citations data derived from Scopus and covers the period 2000 to 2009. The ranking seems technically to be very competent.

The top five are:

1. Harvard
2. Stanford
3. MIT
4. UCLA
5. UC Berkeley

Cambridge is 13th and University College London 36th.
