QS, the leading global career and education network, and STM publisher Elsevier have announced that they will extend their cooperation. Elsevier will continue to provide the data as well as offer analytical services for QS's rankings, including its flagship QS World University Rankings®, QS Top 50 under 50, QS University Rankings Asia, BRICs and Latin America.
The data Elsevier will provide will continue to come from Scopus while the analytical services will come from SciVal - both are part of the Elsevier Research Intelligence portfolio. Access to Scopus data will allow QS to analyse a maximum amount of research activity across the globe.
Being able to additionally draw on SciVal, QS will have access to Elsevier's latest research analyses and metrics which will offer meaningful and balanced ways by which universities can be compared.
