The methodology used in this Demonstration is based on the procedures described in [2]. To find the rank of a university, one needs to know the university’s total scaled score or the scaled scores of each of the indicators defined on the sliders.

The rankings are just estimated, since the calculations are based on data of previous years. For example, in the 2022 ranking, Northwestern University's overall score is 37.3 and its rank is 30. In the Demonstration, the estimated rank for an overall score of 37.3 is 24. As another example, Brown University has an overall score of 25.8 and its rank is 99. In the Demonstration, the estimated rank corresponding to an overall score of 25.8 is 86.
