The CWTS Leiden Ranking 2020
« Today CWTS is releasing the 2020 edition of the CWTS Leiden Ranking.

This year, we have focused on increasing the number of universities included in the Leiden Ranking. While the 2019 edition included 963 universities from 56 different countries, we now have 1,176 universities covering 65 countries. Below we present a breakdown of the number of universities per country. (…)
