The ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ World University Rankings 2016-2017 clinical, pre-clinical and health subject ranking includes narrower subject areas.

The list of subjects used to create this ranking is:

• Medicine & Dentistry
• Other Health

Different weights and measures

The subject tables employ the same range of?13 performance indicators?used in the overall overall World University Rankings 2016-2017, 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.

³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

The weightings for the?clinical, pre-clinical and health ranking are:

• Teaching:?the learning environment
  27.5 per cent
• Research:?volume, income and reputation
  27.5 per cent
• Citations:?research influence
  35 per cent
• International outlook:?staff, students and research
  7.5 per cent
• Industry income:?innovation
  2.5 per cent

Criteria

No institution can be included in the overall World University Rankings unless it?has published a minimum of 200 research papers a year over the five years we examine.

³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

But for the eight subject tables, the threshold drops to 100 papers a year for subjects that generate a high volume of publications and 50 a year in subjects such as social sciences where the volume tends to be lower. Although we apply some editorial discretion, we generally expect an institution to have at least 5 per cent of its staff working in the relevant discipline in order to include it in the subject table.
