Clarivate Analytics, the global provider of trusted insights and analytics that accelerate the pace of innovation, has announced that it is the exclusive data provider to ShanghaiRanking Consultancy (formerly Shanghai Jiao Tong University)'s global ranking of world universities in academic subjects. The additional bibliometric data for the ranking came from InCites, an integrated web-based platform powered by the Web of Science. It allows for a more granular and more comprehensive report than in the previous eight years.
Considered one of the most unbiased and influential rankings in the world due to its academic rigor, the 2017 ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects includes 52 subjects, an expanded and more detailed look at subject areas, compared to previous years. The subjects are organised across five broad categories including natural sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences and social sciences.
Highlights from this year's report feature the United States capturing the number one spot in all six medical sciences subjects, as well as taking 32 of the top subject positions overall, with China following the US and capturing eight of the top subjects in the engineering category.
