In Quality of Faculty criterion, with a weight of 40%, UBA (AR) is positioned in WR 201-300, in both years, with highest values of SAw, and UB (ES) positioned in WR 151-200, in both years, with highest values of SHiCi. In Research Output criterion, also with a weight of 40%, UPF (ES) positioned in WR 301-400, with highest values of SN&S in both years, and USP (BR) is the best Ibero-American university positioned in WR 101-150 and presents the highest PUB value.
