The Universitat Jaume I de Castelló is located in the range of the 601-800 best universities in the world in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021, an international ranking focused on teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international perspectives that positions the UJI in the 9th place of the 50 Spanish universities participating, in the same range as twelve others, and the second of the Valencian Community.

The Universitat Jaume I stands out especially in the section of citations, an indicator of research influence that analyses the role of universities in the dissemination of new knowledge and ideas, where it is positioned in the place 641. The provider of bibliometric data Elsevier has examined 86 million citations in 13.6 million journal articles, reviews of articles, conference proceedings, books and book chapters published for five years. The data includes more than 24,000 academic journals indexed by Elsevier's Scopus database and all publications indexed between 2015 and 2019. Citations of these publications made in the six years from 2015 to 2020 are also collected.

The ranking methodology includes 13 performance indicators focused on four fundamental performance pillars: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international perspective, and grouped into five areas (teaching, research, citations, international perspective and industry revenues). The second most outstanding section of the UJI is the international one, in the position 704 in the world, and the third one is research, where the UJI is in the position 769. The ranking evaluates the capacity of the center to attract university students, postgraduates and teaching staff from all over the world and the proportion of publications of the total of university research journals that have at least one international co-author, in the international section and the results of the survey of reputation by peers, income and productivity, in the research section.

The ranking has been elaborated by the weekly Times Higher Education (THE), founded in 2004. In this seventeenth edition, the ranking includes 1,527 universities in 93 countries.

**Shanghai Ranking**

As for the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), prepared by the Jia Tong University of Shanghai from the analysis of two thousand higher education institutions and considered internationally as the most prestigious indicator of universities, the Universitat Jaume I is in the section 601-700 of the thousand best universities in the world.

The classification published during the month of August indicates that the public university of Castellón is one of the 22 Spanish universities that are among the first 700 universities in the world and shares a position in the 601-700 section with the universities Miguel Hernández, Alicante and La Laguna.

Spain has placed 55 universities among the top 1,000 universities in the world. The classification of the ARWU ranking takes into account indicators of academic or research performance, such as the number of graduates and staff with Nobel prizes or Fields medals, the number of publications in prestigious international journals such as *Nature* or *Science*; the number of highly cited researchers according to the annual list prepared by Clarivate Analytics; the articles indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and the academic performance per capita of the institution.

The UJI stands out especially in the number of highly cited researchers, in the number of indexed publications and in the scientific productivity per faculty.
