The Leiden Ranking, published by Leiden University in the Netherlands, evaluates global universities based on the proportion of their papers that are highly cited. Unlike other global university rankings, which consider reputation, university size, and the quantity of papers, the Leiden Ranking focuses solely on citation impact, providing an objective assessment of a university's research capabilities.
