The academic ranking of the world's soft science universities, or ARWU for short, was first published in 2003 by the Research Center of World-class Universities of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's College of Higher Education (formerly College of Higher Education), which is the first comprehensive global university ranking in the world.
Academic ranking of world universities of the Department of Soft Science is famous for his objective, transparent and stable evaluation methods, but he is also accused of overemphasizing the field of science and engineering, and using well-known American journals and paper publishing platforms as data benchmarks.
Social evaluation:
However, as a ranking that pays attention to scientific research achievements everywhere, academic ranking of world universities, a soft science major, has been accused of being too biased towards the field of science and technology. European and American academic circles also criticized it for paying too much attention to the number of Nobel Prizes won by alumni and ignoring the overall atmosphere and quality of students in colleges and universities.
