Since 2012, the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) has been publishing academic rankings of global universities that assesses the quality of education, employability, quality of faculty, and research without surveys and data provided by the universities. It evaluates the universities’ performance in research and education (see Methodology below).

- Research output: measured by the total number of research papers (10%)
- High-quality publications: measured by the number of research papers appearing in top-tier journals (10%)
- Influence: measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly influential journals (10%)
- Citations: measured by the number of highly cited research papers (10%)
