The SCImago ranking agency, a Spanish global ranking organization, evaluates institutions worldwide based on their research output. The ranking is calculated by building a ‘composite indicator’ that combines and standardizes the quality and quantity of research publications, innovation (patents and patent citations) and the societal impact of research output, a press release said on Friday.
