In the era of rapid technological change, we are often amazed by the latest scientific and technological achievements, but often ignore the forces behind these achievements. This force is basic scientific research. Every scientific and technological revolution in history is inseparable from breakthroughs in basic research. Basic scientific research is like a beacon of scientific and technological progress, leading mankind to continue to explore.
Basic scientific research, as the name suggests, is the study of the fundamental laws of nature。It does not directly pursue practical value, but focuses on the unknown and looks for the essence of things. Because of this, the results of basic scientific research often have a long-term impact and can lay a solid foundation for human progress.
Looking back at history,We can clearly see the key role of basic scientific research in the scientific and technological revolution. Newton's classical theory of mechanics provided theoretical support for the Industrial Revolution;Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism opened the door to the electrical age;Einstein's theory of relativity led the development of modern physics. The emergence of these theories has not only promoted the progress of science and technology, but also profoundly changed the face of human society.
The Science Strength Rating of Chinese Universities is an important ranking released by Ranking of Chinese Universities every year, which aims to comprehensively demonstrate the strength and level of Chinese universities in the field of science。In order to ensure the objectivity and accuracy of the ranking, a series of indicators that can reflect the level of science have been selected, and the construction of various universities in the field of science has been objectively compared and evaluated.
In the 2022 rating, for the first time, the two dimensions of "discipline strength" and "discipline accuracy" were introduced, and the discipline construction of universities in the field of science was analyzed and compared in depth。At the same time, inIn the dimension of "scientific research platform", "national key laboratory" and other variables have been added, further improving the scientific and accurate ranking of the rankings.
In the 2023 rating, the company continued to use the 2022 index system, and further improved and optimized it on this basis。In"Discipline Strength".In the dimension, the school will be in the schoolThe disciplines in the field of science that were selected for the second round of "double first-class" construction were included in the scope of evaluation, which further improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the rankings. At the same time, inDiscipline Accuracy dimensionRankings have also been adjusted and improved accordingly to ensure the scientificity and fairness of the rankings.
The Science Strength Rating of Chinese Universities not only provides a platform for universities to demonstrate their strength, but also provides an important reference for candidates and parents。Through this ranking, candidates and parents can have a more comprehensive understanding of the strength and construction of science in each university, and provide strong support for choosing the right university for themselves.
2023 China's Top 100 A-class Universities in Science Strength: Peking University is the first, Fudan is the second.
Based on the above indicators, the 2023 China's Top 100 Science Universities are released, which are presented in two tiers:
China's A+ universities in science strength: the top 20 in the country in terms of science strength (equivalent to the top 2% of universities with scores in the field of science);
China's science strength A universities: 21 100 in science strength in the country (equivalent to 2% and 10% of universities with scores in science fields).
The specific results are as follows:
Science TOP6 Analysis: Fudan Becomes the Biggest Winner
In the 2023 Ranking of Science Strength of Chinese Universities, Peking University, Fudan University, and University of Science and Technology of China ranked in the top three, demonstrating their outstanding strength in the field of science. Peking University, with itsDiscipline strength, discipline accuracy, high-end talents, scientific research projects and major achievementsIt has been ranked first in the science strength rating of Chinese universities.
As one of China's top universities, Peking University has performed well in all dimensions, especially in terms of discipline strength and precision。This is due to the comprehensive development and outstanding contributions of Peking University in talent training, scientific research, and social services. In terms of high-end talents, Peking University has brought together a large number of well-known scholars and experts at home and abroad, who have made outstanding achievements in their respective fields and won a high reputation for the university.
Fudan University ranked second in this rating, with the same outstanding performance。Although Fudan University has a small number of disciplines in the field of science, five of them have been selected as the second round of national "double first-class" construction disciplines, which fully reflects the university's advantages in discipline accuracy. In terms of major achievements, Fudan University also won the second place in the country, thanks to the continuous investment in scientific research and the efforts of the excellent team.
The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) is characterized by science and engineering, and has performed very well in the field of science。It ranks second in the three dimensions of discipline strength, high-end talents, and scientific research projects, second only to Peking University. In the 2023 Ranking of China's Best Subjects, USTC has 7 disciplines ranked among the top disciplines in China (top 3% or top 2), ranking first in the country in terms of the number of finalists. This shows that USTC has outstanding advantages and strengths in certain subject areas.
Nanjing University, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University followed Peking University, Fudan University and University of Science and Technology of China in fourth to sixth place, respectively。As a representative of the strong liberal arts and sciences schools in China, Nanjing University has performed particularly well in the three dimensions of discipline strength, discipline accuracy and scientific research platform, ranking first respectively.
Three, third and first. Among the six disciplines of Nanjing University, it was successfully selected into the list of disciplines in the second round of national "double first-class" construction.
Tsinghua University, as a strong engineering university in China, is also at the top level in science strength. In terms of major achievements, Tsinghua University's performance is particularly prominent, the most noteworthy of which is that Tsinghua University won the first prize of the 2018 National Natural Science Award. The award not only demonstrates the strength of Tsinghua University in the field of scientific research, but also reflects its important position in basic scientific research.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, on the other hand, has shown excellent performance in the dimension of academic **, ranking second. According to statistics, the total number of papers in the Web of Science database of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in the past five years has approached 30,000. This figure not only reflects the high productivity of SJTU's academic research, but also reflects the quality and impact of its research.
