The World University Rankings 2024 by subject will be published at 6am BST on 26 October.
The?Times Higher Education?World University Rankings 2024?clinical and health subject ranking includes a range of narrower subject areas.
The subjects used to create this ranking are:
- Medicine and dentistry
- Other health
Different weights and measures
The subject tables employ the same range of 18 performance indicators used in the overall World University Rankings 2024, brought together with scores provided under five categories.
However, the overall methodology is carefully recalibrated for each subject, with the weightings changed to suit the individual fields.
The weightings for the clinical and health ranking are:
- Teaching: the learning environment
26.8 per cent - Research environment: volume, income and reputation
26.5?per cent - Research quality: strength, influence and excellence?
35.2 per cent - International outlook: staff, students and research
7.5?per cent - Industry: income and patents?
4 per cent
Criteria
Two criteria determine eligibility for the?色盒直播?subject rankings: a publication threshold by discipline and an academic staff* threshold by discipline.
No institution can be included in the overall World University Rankings unless it has published at least 1,000 relevant publications over the five years that we examine (2018-2022 for the 2024 rankings).?
For the 11 subject tables, the publication thresholds are set differently. For clinical and health, the threshold drops to 500 papers published in this discipline over the five-year period.
There is also an academic staff eligibility criterion. An institution needs to have either a minimum proportion of its staff or a minimum number of staff in this discipline to be included in the subject ranking.
For clinical and health, an institution?must have at least 5?per cent of its academic staff?or?at least 50 academic staff members in the discipline.
*Academic staff is defined as the full-time equivalent number of staff employed in an academic post, for example lecturer, reader, professor.
