The latest edition of the National Taiwan University Rankings (also known as the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities) has just appeared. The rankings are entirely research-based and measure three aspects: Productivity, Impact, and Excellence.
The indicators are:
- Number of articles 2010-2020
- Number of articles 2020
- Number of citations 2010-2020
- Number of citations 2019-2020

- h-index 2019-20
- Number of highly cited papers 2010-2020
- Number of articles in high-impact journals 2019-2020.
