Joint THE-QS edition. Harvard first, with Cambridge, Oxford and Yale tied second; US and UK universities filled the top 10. Method changes (z-scores, Scopus citations, a ban on self-nomination in the peer survey) contributed to large moves, including LSE falling from 17th to 57th.

Method changed. Positions in this edition are not directly comparable with the previous one.

Scores standardized with z-scores; citation data switched to Scopus; peer reviewers barred from nominating their own institution.
