The Three University Missions Ranking 2021

About the Project

The Moscow International Ranking “The Three University Missions” (MosIUR) is a funda-mentally new academic ranking that, for the very fi rst time in international practice, assesses all three key missions of a university: education, science and interaction with society. Over 100 universities took part in the large-scale public discussion of the ranking methodology. The ranking uses only objective criteria, based on offi cial data (including universities’ public reports), as well as data from reputable international information providers. Reputational surveys are excluded completely.

The project is supported by the bibliometric data provider Clarivate Analytics.The pilot version of the “Three Missions” was published December 2017. Following versions

came out November 2018, September 2019 and August 2020, with the latest — fi fth — edition released on August 31, 2021. The ranking was audited by the PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit, part of the global PwC network.

The Three University Missions Ranking 2021

Key Facts and Figures

MosIUR 2021 included a record-high list of 1,650 higher education institutions (HEIs), making it the most representative among academic rankings.

Harvard and MIT topped the ranking in 2021, same as last year, followed by Cambridge, Oxford and the University College London. Best results among Asian universities were demon-strated by the University of Tokyo (12th place) and Peking University (15th place). The Lomonosov Moscow State University took the leading position among Russian universities (19th place). The best university in Australia and Oceania is the University of Melbourne (40th place), in Latin America, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (117th). The University of Cape Town scored the highest score among African universities, 161st.

The Three Missions and the Geography of its LeadersThe USA is most widely represented in the ranking with 239 universities out of the top

1,650. China is on the second (144) and Russia, same as last year, on the third place with 112 universities, followed by Great Britain (106). There are altogether 97 countries and territories represented in the 2021 ranking. Europe leads by the number of universities among other mac-ro-regions with 568 universities in the ranking, i. e. more than a third of the entire list. Asia is second with 493 universities (almost 30%). North America lags behind with 272 universities (16.5%). Russia accounts for 6.8% of the world’s best universities; this number is slightly higher than Latin America’s (6.6%).

Leading European universities perform better than American ones in terms of the fi rst mission, educational: there are 16 European and a mere 10 universities from the USA in the top 30 of the Education sub-ranking, with another four representing Asia. As a rule, top European universities surpass American ones not only in student competitions (they are two times more victorious), but also in the share of international students (29% against 23%, correspondingly). As for staffi ng, the USA are currently on par with Europe, however, the Old World lags far behind in terms of funding: the university budget per student at leading American HEIs is, on average, 3.7 times higher, than at European ones.

An evaluation of the second — scientifi c — mission shows an unequivocal superiority of English-speaking countries. There is not a single university from a country, where English is not an offi cial language, in the top 30 Science sub-ranking, which the USA clearly dominates with 23 universities, joined by a few universities from the UK, Canada and Australia. It is of note that US universities are on average 50% ahead of their contestants in the top 30 in terms of budget per employee and on 30% in terms of prizewinners from the IREG List of International Academic Awards. Moreover, speaking about the entire ranking, there is a similar pattern: the research budget of American HEIs is on average two times higher, compared to European HEIs, with the number of prestigious scientifi c awards among university personnel and alumni being even fi ve times higher. Finally, the average normalized citation rate for scientifi c publications of American university employees lies at 1.19, whilst the same indicator for European universities is 1.07.

The top 30 of the “University and Society” sub-ranking includes universities from 16 countries and territories. This rich geographic diversity distinguishes the third mission from the other two. There are universities from all over the world at the top of the list, including Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Singapore, South Africa, Russia, Japan, China, USA and others. The in-dicator “Number of massive open online courses (MOOCs)” has shown most striking dynamics in 2021 — quite expected, given the powerful impetus that the pandemic has bestowed upon the development of distant learning technologies.

Factors of GrowthChina, USA, Spain, and Russia are the main benefi ciaries of the ranking list expansion

from 1,500 to 1,650 universities: these countries alone managed to increase their presence in the ranking by more than 10 universities each. Europe and Asia increased their presence in the ranking by 70 and 32 new universities, respectively.

In most European countries, positive dynamics are connected predominantly with improvement of the indicators of the fi rst — educational — mission: the staff-to-student ratio, university budget to student ratio and the share of international students. Spain, Italy and Germany, in particular, are showing growth of these indicators. Is suffi ces not to say, that Spain has increased its presence in the ranking by 13 new universities, Italy and Germany — by four. The latter has, by the way, not only increased its presence, but also established itself as one of the lists leaders: in 2020, there have been 15 German universities in the top 300, this year there are already 22 of them. France and Great Britain also show overall positive dynamics in the education indicator group; however, they demonstrated a decrease in the average staff-to-student ratio in 2021. This has negatively affected positions of many universities in the list.

As for China, main factors of growth were the increase of the number of MOOCs and citation rates of scientifi c papers. China has surpassed its contestants within the ranking in terms of citation rate increment: the normalized citation rate of Chinese HEIs has increased by 9% (from 1.00 to 1.09), whereas the US remained at 1.19; the UK has risen only slightly (from 1.14 to 1.16). As for MOOCs, it is of note, that the “Three Missions” has expanded the list of online course platforms drastically: from two to 54 (for instance, platforms such as FutureLearn, Swayam, Udemy, etc. were added). Thanks to this, former discrimination of universities, that have chosen platforms other than Coursera and edX, has been eliminated. In particular, due to the inclusion of the popular Chinese platform icourse163.org (its attendance is comparable to Coursera) many Chinese universities have risen signifi cantly in the 2021 ranking. Same goes for Russia with its Open Education platform (its audience exceeds 1.7 million persons) being among the newly added 52 MOOC platforms.

The United States are MosIUR’s leaders in terms of represented HEIs. The strengths of American universities (budget per student, research’s revenue per employee, scientifi c paper citation rate, as well as the number of prestigious academic awards among employees and alum-ni) remain stable over the years and explain the increase of the US’ presence in the ranking. Obviously, two interlinked factors — massive research funding and research excellence of US universities — play a major role here. America is twice as ahead of Great Britain in the number of prestigious scientifi c awards from the IREG list among university personnel and alumni, and four times ahead of Germany and Japan. Besides, research budgets of US universities are 2.5 times higher than of Japanese and British, and 1.5 times higher than Chinese and Canadian ones.

Russia is most competitive on global scale when assessed by the following criteria: “Number of students winning international student contests”, “Number of MOOCs” and “Share of in-ternational students”. Students of leading Russian universities win prestigious competitions twice as much as students from universities of other countries. For the fi rst time Russia even outperformed the global average in terms of the international students share: in the 2021 rank-ing, Russia shows 11.9% by this criterion, compared to the 11.7% global average of the ranking’s participants. As for the number of MOOCs, Russia exceeded the global average by a whole 43%, leaving behind the UK, Canada and France in terms of the weighted number of courses on leading platforms (taking into account their attendance rates). Here, Russia has been outbested only by China and the USA.

Universities and the PandemicThe pandemic has brought signifi cant changes to educational activities all around the world.

The majority of global rankings, however, uses retrospective indicators referring to past periods — this is why measuring the impact of pandemic restrictions on universities is quite problematic. In addition, this is where the “Three Missions” excel, especially compared to fi rst-generation rankings: MosIUR uses a wide range of criteria, including those given in an instance or as of the coming year. Thanks to such data, capturing global trends becomes possible, along with indirect evaluation of academic mobility. For example, there has been a considerable decline in the number of views of the universities’ Wikipedia pages in countries, which are traditional centers of attraction for international students, last year. This indicator refl ects the interest of the new audience, including potential students, looking up information on HEIs. The number of page views of US universities on Wikipedia decreased from 340.000 to 318.000 in 2020, for Canada numbers shrunk from 210.000 to 197.000, for Australia — from 107.000 to 93.000. In general, for all participants of the ranking, this indicator dropped by 5%, although it has been steadily growing in the last years (for approx. 10 – 15%).

Particularity telling is the “University website reach” indicator. This criterion evaluates the percentage of the audience of a universities’ website among all Internet users. The audience is measured in precise intervals of one year: May 2019 (prior to the pandemic), May 2020 (the pandemic’s peak) and May 2021. In 2020, the global average fell to 0.037 (from 0.054 in 2019) per mille. As we may see on the example of several countries, a dramatic traffi c drop affected those considered most attractive to international students: the UK (−46%), Switzerland (−41%), Canada (−40%), USA (−36%) and Australia (−23%). This testifi es to the fact that potential stu-dents from abroad are becoming less interested in moving to other countries in order to study. In 2021, the criterion began to surge again; however, most universities still have a way to go to return to pre-pandemic levels. American universities have managed to regain 3 percentage points (pp), though — now their difference from 2019 is down to 33%. British universities re-covered by 10, Canadian — by 13 pp.

Therefore, preconditions for the restoration of academic mobility are present; how-ever, the pandemic has not ended, yet. The pandemic still narrows down the amount of potential students, hinders the making of a decision to move to another country, and limits mobility as well.

Methodology 2021

The fi rst draft of the methodology for the Moscow International University Ranking methodology was developed following a large-scale public discussion with a total of over 100 collective contributors: universities, rector councils, expert associations and rating agencies. The list of ranking criteria was submitted for consideration to the International Expert Council of Ranking, comprised of 25 renowned higher education exp̌ erts from Belgium, Brazil, China, India, Iran, Italy, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, and the USA.

Expert discussions continued after the release of the pilot version of the ranking in December 2017. Following the feedback, some of the indicators of the ranking were adjusted, and the shortlist of participating universities was expanded to 500. In 2019 the shortlist featured over 1700, in 2020 — over 1800, and in 2021 — over 2000 higher education institutions (HEIs), representing 119 countries and territories.

Shortlisted UniversitiesThe Moscow International University Ranking 2021 shortlist was largely comprised of about

1800 HEIs shortlisted in 2020. The number of institutions representing any given country was determined to be proportional to the country’s contribution to the world economy. Universities with leading positions in global university rankings and/or national academic rankings listed in IREG Inventory of National Rankings were included in the evaluation list. In some cases, the selection was based on the number of the university’s academic papers from 2016 to 2019 indexed by the Web of Science Core Collection citation database; according to the data obtained by the analytical tool InCites. Furthermore, narrow-focused HEIs, i.e. those without educational programs in at least two out of six research areas according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) classifi cation, and HEIs with no Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD programs or their equivalents were excluded from consideration. Higher education institutions with a student body of less than 500 were excluded from the list as well.

Changes in the Indicators and Ranking Calculation MethodologyThe methodological changes made in 2021 affected the weights of indicators and the

range of data sources. The weight of the “Number of Massive Open Online Courses” indica-tor increased from 5% to 6%. The weight of the “Number of alumni with an individual article on Wikipedia” indicator was reduced from 8% to 7%. The “presence or absence of a published list of degree programs” marker was removed from the Transparency indicator. The scope of the “Number of Massive Open Online Courses” criterion was signifi cantly increased: now the weighted sum of courses posted on different platforms from the “Class Central” aggregator list, as well as platforms, such as “Open Education” (Russia) and icourse163.org (China), are taken into consideration. Each platform is assigned a weight depending on the total number of learners.

Information SourcesThe ranking uses only objective indicators approved by international experts. Reputation

surveys were entirely excluded from consideration. Information sources included open access data from offi cial websites of universities and national authorities, as well as data obtained from independent international sources, such as: the bibliometric data provider Clarivate Analytics; the largest aggregator of online course platforms “Class Central”; mass education platforms Open Education and icourse163.org; the free content, multilingual online encyclopedia Wikipedia; search engines (Google, Yandex, Baidu); social networks (Facebook, Twitter, VK, Sina Weibo);

Ranking CalculationThe overall weight of indicators per group is 45% for Education, 25% for Research, and

30% for University and Society.For each indicator, a score was calculated to characterize the university’s position in

relation to its competitors. The calculation was carried out in two ways:1) for normalized indicators (global and national citations, share of publications and

transparency), the score of the participating HEIs was calculated according to the formula:

where: xi is the score of the ith indicator; ai is the value of the ith indicator; amax is the maximum value of the ith indicator; amin is the minimum value of the ith indicator.

2) in cases where a linear calculation was not applicable, data normalization methods have been used.

Subsequently, the scores of universities for each of the ranking indicators were multiplied by the corresponding weight coeffi cients. Finally, the weighted university scores in all of the indicators were summed up:

where:f is the ranking score;xi is the score of the ith indicator;nx is the number of ranking indicators;vi is the weight of the ith indicator.

I. Group of indicators: Education

1Number of student winsin international student contests

Students’ competitiveness 7

Unlike common scientometric i n d i c a t o r s , w h i c h m e a s u r e achievements of the academic p e r s o n n e l , t h e i n n o v a t i v e criterion of the Moscow Ranking makes it possible to measure the competit iveness of universit y students. The criterion demonstrates the quality of knowledge, skills and competence university students obtain during their studies, as well as their ability to use these resources to solve complex tasks. The amount of winners of international student competitions and other prestigious international contests cannot be large, yet the number of Prize winners of prestigious contests demonstrates in a focused way the effectiveness of learning and students’ aptitude for breakthrough scientific research.

Websites of international

contests

Personal and team wins in the 17 international student contests* from 2015 to 2019 were calculated in a similar way as Olympics medal tally (absolute winners and Prize winners were considered). Each contest was given a weight depending on the number of countries covered (for example, the ACM ICPC, which brings together students from over 100 countries, was assigned the maximum weight — 1.00; while NSUCRYPTO and Belgrade Business International Case Competition with participants from as few as 9 countries have a weight of 0.09). The weighted values were then summed up.

2Share of internationalstudents

Attractiveness for international

students8

This indicator shows the proportion of international students to the total number of students. It is widely used by existing academic rankings.

Websites of universities

and regulatory bodies

International students of all full- and part-time Bachelor ’s, Specialist ’s, M a s t e r ’ s , a n d P h D p r o g r a m s (ISCED-2011 Levels 6-8), who spent more than 3 months in the university in the specified year (given to the total of students in full-time Bachelor’s, Specialist’s, Master’s and PhD training programs). The number of  students was converted to full-time equivalent.

3University budget to student ratio

Financial resources 15

This criterion evaluates a university’s financial wellbeing. The higher the indicator, the wider the range of the university ’s opportunities to implement the three main missions: education, scientific research and contribution to society.

Websites of universities

and regulatory bodies

As the cost of products and services may vary significantly from country to country, the budget was converted into USD using purchasing power parity (PPP) defined by the World Bank (or in case the necessary value was not present, PPP defined by the OECD). Students of all full- and part-time Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programs (ISCED-2011 Levels 6-8) were considered. The number of students was converted to full-time equivalent.

4Student to academic staff ratio

Human resources 15

The indicator measures a university’s staf f ing. The more faculty and research staff per student, the more attention the university staff may give to each student, and, therefore, the better the learning conditions at the university.

Websites of universities and regulatory

bodies

The number of academic personnel (academic staff and researchers) was calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. Students of all full- and part-time Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programs (ISCED-2011 Levels 6–8) were considered. The number of students was converted to full-time equivalent.

IREG List awards won by university academic staff and alumni

Outstanding scientific

achievements7

The proposed metric is an elaboration of the approach proposed by the Shanghai ranking. Fundamentally, the idea of counting the number of winners of prestigious prizes to assess a university ’s scientific potential is correct. However, taking into account only Nobel and Fields Prizes severely limits the scope for evaluating an HEI. Therefore, we used the IREG List of International Academic Awards, which includes the world’s 99 most prestigious scientific awards (with a possibility of expanding the prize list in the future).

Websitesof international

awards

The weighted number of awards from the IREG List of International Academic Awards received by the university’s staff and alumni between 2000 and 2020 was determined. Only permanent university staff members as of the date of prize giving were considered. Those who have successfully completed their undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies (and programs equivalent to those listed) are counted as graduates.

6Average normalized citation impact (global level)

Quality of scientific

publications (international

level)

10

The normalized citation impact quantitatively shows how much better or worse than the global average a particular publication is cited compared to publications of the same type, area of knowledge, and year of publication. The indicator demonstrates global relevance of the university’s research activities within the academia, reflecting its acuteness and quality. Normalized citation indicators are widely used by academic rankings.

Web of Science Core Collection

Publications dated 2016–2019 were considered. The normalized citation impac t va lues were calculated separately for the six research areas according to the OECD classification: Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technolog y, Medical and Health Sciences , A gricultural Sciences , Social Sciences, Humanities. Finally, the scores gained in each area of knowledge were summed up.

7Average normalized citation impact(national level)

Quality of scientific publications

(national level)

3

The indicator demonstrates global re levance of the univer s i t y ’s research ac t iv i t ies within the academia of the university’s home country. Introducing this criterion contributes to a better consideration of achievements of national research schools and a more accurate evaluation of research output in the humanities.

Web of Science Core Collection

Publications dated 2016–2019 were considered. This indicator’s calculation is different from that of global level average normalized citation impact in the fact that for each of the six research areas a ratio of a university’s normalized citation impact to  its country’s respective value is calculated. The relation of the university’s result to the best result among the universities located in this particular country was used as the final value.

8Research income per academic staff member

Involvement of staff

in research and development

5

The indicator actually shows the amount of R&D funds raised per academic staff member. The higher the amount per staff member, the more in-demand the university ’s research is. For universities that collect data on expenditure rather than income, the indicator is calculated as expenses (budget) per academic staff member.

Websites of universities and regulatory

bodies

Funds attracted by a university for academic research and development were considered. This did not include other components, such as income from education activities, investment, commercialization, etc. In case country-specific features or other peculiarities did not allow to calculate the research income, the research budget as the amount of money, spent on research, was used. The values were converted into USD using purchasing power parity (PPP) defined by the World Bank (or in case the necessary value was not present, PPP defined by the OECD). The number of academic personnel, including teaching and research staff, was calculated on a full-time equivalent basis.

9Number of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

University’s contribution to

affordable online education

6

The innovative indicator, applied for the first time in the practice of global academic rankings, measures a university's activity in the area of developing MOOCs. There is a clear public demand for open online courses, and the fact that this education activity is rapidly developing is beyond doubt. The more courses are published on online platforms, the broader the knowledge a university delivers through the internet, and the greater its contribution to the accessibility of education worldwide.

“Class Central” aggregator,

Open Education, icourse163.org

Total number of MOOCs published on online learning platforms, considered by the “Class Central” aggregator, as well as on Open Education and icourse163.org, at the time of data collection (May 2021) was determined. Each platform was weighted according to the total number of course -participants of that platform (Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, Open Education and icourse163.org have the maximum weight of 1.00). The obtained weights were summed up.

10Share of the university in total national publications

University’s contribution

to its country’s scientific research

4

This innovative ranking indicator measures national significance of universities for scientific development in their respective countries. The higher the university’s share in the country’s total university publications, the bigger its contribution to research in the country, and consequently, the higher such a university’s importance and value for society.

Web of Science Core Collection

The ratio of a university’s scholarly output measured by the total number of academic papers published during the four year (2016–2019) period, indexed by the Web of Science Core Collection database, to its home countr y ’s scholarly output. The relation of the university’s result to the best result among home country universities was used as the final value.

11

Total pages of a university’s website indexed by the leading search engines

Web presence 3

The indicator evaluates some of the most important aspects of a universit y ’s interaction with society: openness and transparency, information availability, commitment to information exchange.

Search engines: Google, Baidu,

Yandex

The number of web pages of a university’s official domain, indexed by search engines, was measured by standard domain search syntactical operators of following search engines: Google, Baidu and Yandex. The minimum index value according to each engine was determined after a series of data retrievals in April and May 2021. The highest result of the three search engines was used as the final value.

12Views of the university’s page on Wikipedia

Popularity on the web 1

Along with the official university website, Wikipedia is an important source of information. The large number of views on the university's page is a testament to its impact on the community.

Wikipedia

Total views of the university’s Wikipedia pages in English and (if applicable) in the of f icial national language (languages) in 2020.

13University’s followers in social media

Communication in social media 3

Social media is one of the most practical communication tools for the university and those interested in its activity. A significant number of universities creates awareness of their activities through social media. The popularity of different social networks varies in different countries and from university to university. Therefore, the number of subscribers on 4 social medias was collected for each university.

Facebook, Twitter, VK, Sina

Weibo

The number of subscr iber s on Facebook, VK, Twitter and Sina Weibo were recorded. Pages in English and national languages (if applicable) were considered. The final score was the sum of subscribers in the two social networks, where a university has its largest audience.

14

Number of alumni with an individual article about them on Wikipedia

Alumni impact on society 7

Qualit y education is made up o f l a r ge l y incommen su r a b l e phenomena, including the extent to which a university has an impact on society. One of the most effective ways to measure this is to count the number of alumni who are successful in various areas (politics, science, art, business, charity) and possess an individual article about them on Wikipedia. This indicator quantifies the university’s impact on society.

Wikipedia

The total number of university alumni with a personal page on Wikipedia meeting the thresholds: alumnus date of birth — not earlier than 1950; page views — at least 1000 in 2020. Unpopular pages are thus excluded from calculation.

15 University website reach Societal relevance 4

This indicator reflects the relevance of the university’s official website for users from all over the world. The higher the v isi t rat io, the more popular a university is. If the university’s website is visited by many Internet users, then the university is considered relevant and valuable for society.

Alexa

This criterion evaluates the university website audience percentage among all Internet users. This indicator is based on data from Alexa (alexa.com) — one of the global leaders in web analytics. The data was compiled in May 2021.

16 Transparency

Informational openness

and quality of information

policies

2

The indicator is a complex evaluation of a university’s policies related to informational openness to society, their consistency, and the extent to which the university encourages horizontal communication.

Websites of universities

This indicator takes into account the availability of the following resources, materials, and publications on the university’s official website: an up-to-date institutional report, an up-to-date financial report, an open access list of university staff or an open access staff search system, as well as the university’s mission.
