The Academic Rankings of World's Universities (ARWU) are based almost entirely on measures of strength in research. Institutions with strong research programs, especially in the sciences, tend to score higher than those whose major strengths are in the humanities and social sciences.
Seven UC campuses placed among the top 50 universities in the world in the 2009 ARWU rankings.
The ARWU rankings have become increasingly more influential, in part because they rely upon carefully selected indicators and upon internationally comparable data that can be cross-checked and verified.
English-speaking, and especially U.S., universities dominate the top of the Shanghai Jaio Tong University's list of the world's best universities.
