While Times Higher Education (THE) accords equal weight to Teaching, Research, and Citations at 30% each, QS places the greatest emphasis on Academic Reputation (40%) followed by the Faculty/Student Ratio and Citations per Faculty at 20% each. In addition to other rating factors, the US News & World Report bases its rankings on the number of publications cited, global research reputation, and regional research reputation (12.5% each). In the Shanghai ranking, institutions are ranked based on the calibre of academic research they generate and the number of Nobel Prizes their faculty have earned rather than on their reputation among academics or employers.
