- URAP Lab was established in 2009 at METU to develop a new university ranking system based on academic performance using multiple indicators and data from reliable open sources. - The methodology considers quantitative indicators such as number of articles, citations, journal impact, h-index, and international collaboration for 2000 universities from 2005-2009. - The top 15 universities in the 2010 URAP ranking are led by Harvard University, with Johns Hopkins University and University of Toronto rounding out the top 3.
