Top Computer Science Universities

The university ranking for Computer Science was developed by Research.com, one of the prominent platforms for computer science research maintaining reliable data on scientific contributions since 2014, with the aim of answering the question of what is the best Computer Science university.

The ranking of universities is based on the h-index and bibliometric indicators compiled by May 25th, 2021. The ranking process involved a detailed examination of more than 6300 Computer Science researchers’ profiles from Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic Graph. Scientists from more than 1200 institutions and affiliations were analyzed. Show more

The position in the ranking is based on a sum of h-index values of all leading Computer Science researchers affiliated with a given university. The h-index threshold for being considered for the selection process was set to 40 provided that the majority of their publications are in the area of Computer Science.

Please take into consideration that the research institution or university for a scientist is set based on the affiliation details featured on their Google Scholar profile.
