Italian universities in the 2015 edition of the Shanghai
ranking
D. Docampo · L. Cram
December 9, 2015.
Abstract The emergence of international academic rankings is one of the most interesting phenomena in the field of comparative analysis of higher education. Once we
have found a way to accurately replicate the results of the ranking, we are in a position
to shed light into the performance of whole University systems. This technical report
presents the results of Italian universities in ARWU 2015. Comparison with the results
presented in our previous 2013 report are also shown.

1 Introduction
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) a.k.a the Shanghai Ranking,
evaluates the research performance of academic institutions on the basis of numerical
measures related to individual outstanding achievements and institutional research
throughput. A first hand account of the Shanghai ranking indicators can be found in
Liu and Cheng (2005), and is summarized in Docampo (2013). A reliable account of the
ranking procedures can be found in Docampo and Cram (2014). For a guided tour into
the computation of the ranking scores (2015 edition of ARWU) the reader is referred to
Docampo and Cram (2015). This report analyzes the performance of universities from
Italy ARWU 2015. To collect the necessary data for the computation of the ARWU
raw scores, we have checked the electronic sources shown in Section 2. Results of 70
universities from Italy are present in Section 4.

3 Affiliation names
The names used and the estimated Full Time Academic Staff figures are shown in
Table 1. It is not unlikely that some disambiguation problems with affiliations may
still persist, so we warmly invite comments on any apparent errors or uncertainties in
the list of institutional name variants that comprise the WOK OG names. We are sure
that some mistakes have likely been made when estimating FTE figures, so we would
again warmly welcome any suggestion that could help in arriving at the appropriate
FTE counting for each Italian Higher Education institution.
4 Results
We show in this report results corresponding to 70 Italian Higher Education institutions
in the 2015 edition of ARWU. It is worth mentioning that the entrance score in the 500
universities was close to 9.6. We have reproduced the results of the ARWU webpage in
the case of the universities ranked below 500. The rest of the scores have been computed
using the procedures documented in Docampo and Cram (2015).
In the 2015 edition we have added more information on the global standing of Italian
universities. We now show the ranking of the universities both within the Italian Higher
Education System (columns 9 and 10 in the tables that follow) and the global ARWU
position as well (final column), among 3500 universities worldwide.
The number of Italian universirties in ARWU 500 has gone up from 19 in 2013 to 20
in 2015, whereas the number of Italian institutions among the first 150 has decreased
(2 in 2013, none in 2015).
Table 2 shows the ARWU results for 70 Italian institutions.
