The 2016 U-Multirank, the largest university ranking, places the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) above the international average in research-related parameters, commitment to the environment and international orientation. With regard to the more than 1,300 universities from more than 90 countries analysed in the ranking, the Universitat Jaume I gets a better assessment than most of these universities in research-related aspects, such as the citation rate of their studies, the number of publications related to creative arts and the presence in the research journals of greater impact. Besides, it stands out for its international orientation, student mobility and international publications. Regarding its commitment to the environment, the UJI gets top marks in income from regional sources, and ranks above the average in the percentage of master’s graduates working in the region and in the development of internships in its area of influence.  
  
The information contained in U-Multirank comes from data supplied by institutions, bibliometric databases and international patents and surveys of more than 105,000 students from the participating universities. The data come to confirm the good results obtained by the UJI in other rankings, which place it as a leading university in research in relation to its size and youth. In this sense, the Universitat Jaume I get a score above the average in the citation rate of its research, the publication in high-impact journals and theacademic publications related to creative and performing arts. The UJI is at the international average in the other parameters related to research that include the number of publications both in absolute terms and standardized; the external income on a competitive basis for research, and the percentage of interdisciplinary publications. Regarding the 2015 ranking, the UJI has improved in four of the seven parameters related to research.  
  
The Universitat Jaume I also stands out for its involvement and commitment to the environment. As was the case in the 2015 ranking, the UJI is above or at the same level as the average for universities with regard to the percentage of graduates who find work in the region, a 36.40% in the case of graduates and 54.20% in the case of master's degree students. It also maintains the highest rating in obtaining regional income sources, and improves over 2015 in conducting internships in the region, with 84.88% students who carried out internships in businesses or institutions in the region in the period covered by the study (from 2012 to 2014). In this field, the UJI is only below the average in terms of joint regional publications, which are limited to 2.20% of those made.  
  
As regards the international orientation, the UJI has improved over 2015 regarding student mobility, a parameter that is above the average, as in the joint publication with international authors. Thus, 41.70% of articles published by researchers at the Universitat Jaume I were conducted jointly with foreign centres. The UJI is at the international average in the percentage of international doctoral students, with 13.92%, and slightly below regarding international staff.  
  
As far as other areas are concerned, such as teaching and learning, the ranking only has data from the UJI on two parameters. The UJI is in the average Master’s graduation rate and slightly below the average in Bachelor graduation rate. Finally, regarding knowledge transfer, the Universitat Jaume I obtains its highest rating in publications cited in patents.  
  
**Leadership in chemistry**  
  
By areas of knowledge, the ranking reflects UJI’s leadership in areas such as chemistry, which obtained the highest rate in the number of bachelor and master’s graduates who complete their studies at the expected time (100)% and research-related aspects such as income from external sources, doctorate’s productivity, citation rate and percentage of articles published in major journals, which rises to 17.8%. In this area, the UJI is also above the international average in parameters such as international orientation, concerning the percentage of international doctoral students (19%), and international publications (51.30%).  
  
In other areas covered by the study, such as sociology or history, the ranking includes fewer parameters with data on the UJI. However, in the parameters included the Universitat Jaume I gets a positive rating. The area of sociology stands out from the average in areas such as securing external funds for research, the number of international doctoral students or the percentage of students working in the region. In the latter two parameters, the UJI also stands out in the area of history.  
  
The third U-Multirank ranking is the largest one since its launch in 2014. It includes more than 27,000 performance results at the institutional level and more than 66,000 for 13 subject areas. The ranking is developed and implemented by an independent international consortium and has the support of the European Commission through funds of the European Union Erasmus+ programme.
