AH Editing has been working closely with the SHTM for well over 10 years.

We look forward to many more achievements supporting this world-leading School in the years to come.”

The Academic Ranking of World Universities uses six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Clarivate Analytics, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index – Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance of a university. More than 1200 universities are ranked by ARWU every year and the best 500 are published.
