Vadim Vinogradov, Dean of the Faculty of Law, HSE University
The HSE Faculty of Law has been able to climb significantly higher in the THE ranking in 2020 thanks to a stronger academic reputation and an increase in the citations of publications by our faculty in foreign research journals. According to the ranking, the Faculty is the best law school in Russia, and today we have every reason to set our sights on reaching the top 100. Of course, a place in the ranking is not an end in itself. Qualitative changes are key. The main areas for growth are formulated in our development programme, which guided the restructuring of our faculty this summer. In the near future, we will focus on promoting an increase in the number of publications in foreign academic journals, involving more teachers in fundamental and applied research, and creating a more attractive environment for foreign researchers and teachers.
HSE University has also placed in the subject rankings for Humanities and Arts (201-250 range), Computer Science (401-500 range), Physical Sciences (501-600 range), and Engineering and Technology (800-1000 range).
In almost all subjects, HSE demonstrated improvement in terms of internationalization indicators (the share of foreign students and teachers) and the number of publications per one faculty member.
Russian universities placed in this year’s rankings a total of 166 times, and 95 of these instances involve universities participating in the Russian Academic Excellence Project 5-100. A total of 48 Russian universities have placed in the THE subject rankings, 20 of which are Project 5-100 participants, while in 2013 there were only 3 Russian universities, which included 2 Project 5-100 universities.
The ranking methodology has a two-tier structure. Thirteen performance indicators are grouped into five broad categories: Teaching, Research, Citations, International Outlook, and Industry Income. Data is collected from three main sources: a survey of international experts, the Scopus bibliometric database, and data provided by universities themselves. The overall methodology is carefully recalibrated for each subject, with the indicator weightings changed to suit the individual fields.
