University of Greenwich

How it scores

Research and Alumni outcomes are percentiles among 2,287 universities; alumni outcomes are counted per student. Admissions & earnings is the position among universities in the same country (United Kingdom).

Note: It has 1,079 core papers, below the Research Index threshold of 1,500, so its citation shares are shrunk toward the median of similarly small universities before scoring.

Research Index

The Research Index ranks a university only when it has at least 1,500 fractionally counted core publications over four years, so that a handful of highly cited papers can’t produce an extreme score. Its field ranks (where it has 200 or more papers in a field) and all of its data are shown here.

Core publications, fractional counting, field-normalised citation shares. Brackets show Leiden’s stability interval. Collaboration and open-access shares use full counting and aren’t field-normalised. Retraction counts come from the Retraction Watch database and include publishers’ mass retractions as well as honest-error retractions; a retraction is not by itself evidence of misconduct, and the count is never scored.

Position over time

The same method applied to each 4-year publication window. The number of ranked universities grows from period to period, so position is shown as a share of the field.
