The prestigious Taiwan Ranking (NTU Ranking) for 2025 places Tel Aviv University first in Israel and 213th worldwide.
Based entirely on scientific publications, the Taiwan Ranking evaluates the top 1,000 universities in the world. The top five institutions in the ranking are Harvard University (USA), Stanford University (USA), University College London (UK), the University of Oxford (UK), and Johns Hopkins University (USA).
The ranking is considered one of the most reliable indicators for measuring research productivity, as it relies solely on objective data without reputation surveys. It is based on eight criteria that assess research productivity (number of publications), research impact (number of citations), and research excellence (the volume of papers published in leading journals).
