Research output plays a key role in the current evaluation of universities and is often measured by the number of research papers or their impacts (citations). Many popular university rankings include core indicators of papers and citations, e.g., Times Higher Education Supplement, United States News and World Report, QS World University ranks, CWTS Leiden Ranking and Academic Ranking of World Universities of Shanghai Jiaotong University.
