05/06/2013Another big success for the natural sciences at the University of Würzburg: No other German university achieved a higher proportion of top 10% publications in the renowned Leiden Ranking of 500 major universities worldwide.
The current ranking is based on publications in Thomson Reuters' Web of Science database in the period 2008–2011. Even though the researchers from Würzburg cannot compete with Germany’s biggest universities in terms of absolute numbers of publications, the authors of the ranking put Würzburg in 1st place among all German universities based on quality of publications. The 16.0% proportion of top 10% publications achieved in Würzburg is unmatched in Germany, and even in Europe only 14 universities achieved a higher value.
