Unlike traditional rankings from QS Top Universities, Times Higher Education, US News, and ARWU, the a-index demonstrates our commitment to transparency and innovation in the evaluation process.
Unveiling the Universities a-index
The a-index of universities is a sophisticated function derived from the amalgamation of eight key factors, each meticulously chosen to gauge the intricacies of a university’s academic landscape. Factors include the annual volume of scientific publications (e.g., research papers, review articles, patents, etc.), the esteemed reputation of academic staff members based on their h-index, the grants they win, etc. This comprehensive index is 50 to 90 for universities, with a higher a-index indicating a more rigorous admission process for securing coveted fully-funded PhD positions.
