QS World University Rankings by Subject evaluates world universities in 51 areas with 5 broad subjects. 1,369 universities in 2020, 1,453 in 2021 and 1,543 universities from 88 locations this year were analyzed. In addition, starting from 2022, the International Research Network indicator in the QS methodology was included in the subject area rankings and the indicator weights were rearranged according to the broad subjects. The change is because QS, one of the leading international university evaluation bodies, has determined that research with global partners is crucial. Using this indicator, QS strives to further highlight universities working in collaboration with international partners to add value to the global research pool.
