The Shanghai International Ranking, one of the most credible indexes for ranking institutions of academic institutions, has put Israeli universities among the top 100 in the world.
The rating is based on factors such as the number of Nobel Prize and Fields Medal-winning faculty and alumni, the number of times articles by the university’s researchers has appeared in important scientific journals, and the number of times colleagues cite such articles.
