The Shanghai ranking is strongly research-oriented, primarily using publicly available databases. Forty percent of the evaluation is based on the quality of the scientists at the respective institution (assessed by the number of Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners working there and the number of highly cited researchers) and the research output (measured by publications in the journals "Science" and "Nature" as well as citations). Ten percent of the evaluation is based on the quality of education (measured by the number of Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners among graduates) and productivity per researcher. A total of 2,500 universities were ranked, with the top 1,000 published.
