The Universitat Jaume I ranks among the 601-800 best universities in the world in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2019, an international classification focused on teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international perspectives that places the UJI in 12th place out of the 38 participating Spanish universities, and the second in the Valencian Community.

The UJI stands out especially in the section of citations, an indicator of the influence of research that analyses the role of universities in the dissemination of new knowledge and ideas, where it ranks 535. This year, 62 million citations have been examined, plus 12.4 million journal articles, article reviews, conference proceedings, published books and chapters. The data include the 23,000 academic journals indexed by Scopus and all publications indexed between 2012 and 2016.

The methodology of the ranking includes 13 performance indicators focused on five fundamental pillars: teaching, research, citations, international perspective and industry income. The second most important section is the international one, where the Universitat Jaume I occupies the 659th place in the world. The ranking evaluates the capacity to attract university students, postgraduate students and teaching staff from all over the world and the proportion of publications of the total number of university research journals that have at least one international co-author.

The rector, Eva Alcón, has expressed the satisfaction of the university community of the UJI for this new international recognition, which is added to that already made this summer by the Shanghai Ranking, which placed the Universitat Jaume I among the 600 best universities in the world. Alcón has ensured that these rankings “show the effort made during the 27 years of the UJI's history to stand out in quality research and teaching and encourage us to continue working in a spirit of improvement”.

The Times Higher Education (THE) weekly, founded in 2004, prepared the ranking. In this 15th edition, the classification includes 1,258 institutions, 1,500 universities, 250,000 articles of reputation data and bibliometric data provided by Elsevier based on 67.9 million citations in 14.1 million publications of a five-year period.
