DIKU ranks among Top-100 Computer Science Universitites
The Danish electronic newsletter Comon recently published a Top-100 ranking list of Computer Science research institutions worldwide issued by the University of Shanghai, China.
Comon concludes that "The list of computer science research institutions is sad reading from a Danish point of view, because on the list "Academic Ranking of World Universities in Computer " you have to go to a 52nd place to find anything sounding Danish, i.e. The University of Copenhagen.
From a DIKU point of view it is, of course, sad that no more Danish universities are included. However, we are proud to be ranked among the world's Top 100 based on the critia below:
| Code | Weight | Computer Science |
|---|---|---|
| Alumni | 10% | Alumni of an institution winning Turing Awards in Computer Science since 1951 |
| Award | 15% | Staff of an institution winning Turing Awards in Computer Science since 1961 |
| HiCi | 25% | Highly cited researchers in Computer Science category |
| PUB | 25% | Papers Indexed in Science Citation Index- Expanded in Computer Science fields |
| TOP | 25% | Percentage of papers published in top 20% journals of Computer Science fields to that in all Computer Science journals |
