According to the Washington Post, the list began in 2003 and uses six objective indicators to rank world universities,“including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Reuters, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index — Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance of a university.”
