This ranking was published from 1999. Although Wu Shulian ranked China University (1993) earlier, it was later suspected that it caused public controversy due to unreasonable business operation and design of index system, and many non-'985' schools did not participate in the ranking of world universities of Shanghai Jiaotong University.
From the perspective of a third party, NetUniversity has been committed to giving the educated a more objective and fair university ranking. From the simple ranking rules at the beginning, to a basically stable set of index system at the back, from the release of a single list to the simultaneous excavation of university value by lists, forums and website news, NetUniversity has never stopped excavating the deep value of universities.
