Impact Rankings Methodology 2022 Version 1.2 Introduction Welcome to the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings Methodology guide. I hope you will find it useful. This document is the detailed methodology that underpins the THE Impact Rankings for 2022. It is intended to give an overview of the approach, and detail of the calculations that we have used to generate the results. This guide builds upon the 2021 Impact Rankings Methodology by adding further guidance. There are also a few more significant changes that we will highlight, but the most notable one is around the relevant years that will be accepted around evidence. The document includes an initial overview, a section on how the overall ranking is generated, followed by sections on each of the individual SDG measures. Our goal is to be as open and transparent as possible, but also to engage with universities and higher education institutions more directly. If the guidance we have provided is unclear, or doesn’t reflect your local environment, please contact us so that we can help you, and so that we can improve the approach! We look forward to publishing the 4th edition of the THE Impact Rankings in April 2022.

They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and its impacts such as forced migration, and working to preserve our oceans and forests. Although the SDGs aren’t focused on higher education, the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 will require all hands on deck. It will require different sectors and actors working together in an integrated manner by pooling financial resources, knowledge and expertise. This must include the resources of universities and higher education. The Impact Rankings are the first global attempt to measure university progress specifically around the SDGs. It can be a catalyst for action, a mechanism for holding our universities to account, and an opportunity for them to highlight great work that they are already doing. Approach The Rankings have been designed to allow as many universities as possible to participate. To do that we have limited the amount of data required for participation. This is a key feature of the approach – not all universities have the capacity to provide data in the same way. We also encourage participation from universities that are unlikely to be included in more traditional rankings. For this to be effective it needs to be universal. Participation The rankings are open to any university that teaches at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Although research activities form part of the methodology, there is no minimum research requirement for participation. THE reserves the right to exclude universities that they believe have falsified data, or who are no longer in good standin THE IMPACT RANKINGS METHODOLOGY | 2022 4
