Indicator System Indicator Category Indicator Name Indicator Connotation Weight Talent Training (45%) Student Quality (Freshmen's College Entrance Examination Results) 30% Training Achievements (Graduate Employment Rate) Undergraduate Graduates Employment Rate 15% Scientific Research Scale (40%) Papers Collected in Scopus Database 10% Scientific Research Quality (Paper Quality) after Discipline Standardization. 38+00% of the top achievements (highly cited papers) rank in the top of all disciplines in the world 1% of papers, 10% of top talents (highly cited scholars), 10% of China scholars with the highest cited times in all disciplines, serving the society (15%). The number of published papers is 5%, and the results are transformed (technology transfer income). When calculating the score of a single index by using the method of technology transfer of 5% of the actual income of colleges and universities in the current year, the college with the best performance of this index is 100, and other colleges and universities score according to its proportion of the highest value. The total score of a university is obtained by weighting the scores of individual indicators. The ranking of the best universities in China is based on the importance of the evaluation content and the appropriateness of the indicators themselves, and nine indicators are selected to construct the index system. Among them, there are two aspects of talent training, namely, "freshmen's college entrance examination results" reflecting the quality of students and the reputation of talent training and "graduate employment rate" reflecting the training results; There are four kinds of scientific research, namely, the number of papers reflecting the scale of scientific research, the quality of papers reflecting the quality of scientific research, highly cited papers reflecting top achievements and highly cited scholars reflecting top talents. There are three aspects to serve the society, namely "enterprise research funds" to measure the contribution of scientific and technological services, "school-enterprise cooperation papers" to measure the cooperation of Industry-University-Research, and "technology transfer income" to measure the transformation benefits of achievements. Dr. Cheng Ying, the person in charge of the ranking, pointed out that "the selection orientation of the best university ranking indicators in China reflects the' collective evaluation' of university clients such as students, employers, scholars and enterprises, which fully reflects the unique value of ranking as a third-party market evaluation."
