The Academic Ranking of World Universities 2024 (ARWU), popularly known as the Shanghai Ranking, establishes the ranking taking into account the quality of education based on the number of graduates (alumni) awarded the Nobel Prize or the Fields Medal and, also, the quality of the institution based on professors who have received these same medals or who are highly referenced in academic research.
Other aspects considered are related to research impact, measured by publications in the journals Nature and Science and articles indexed in the Science Citation Index Extended and the Social Science Citation Index, among other criteria. The top five universities in the ranking are Harvard, Stanford, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and California-Berkeley, all in the United States. The Shanghai ranking was first published in 2003 and has been updated annually since then.
