The U-Ranking project is an initiative run by the Fundación BBVA in partnership with Ivie. This document describes the methodology that has been developed to construct the variables and indicators used in the different classifications and to analyse the two types of rankings, the volume of results, and productivity. These are compared against the Shanghai rankings, and also against results obtained in prior editions of ISSUE rankings (Indicadores Sintéticos del Sistema Universitario Español).

More specifically, this ranking measures aspects such as the number of published scientific articles, the quality of those publications, doctoral theses, rates of teaching success, dropout rates, teacher – student ratios, minimum grade points, patents, competitive research projects, etc.
