South Korea Top 100 Public Universities Rankings 2025 (Sort by: Last 6 Years Citations)
"AD Scientific Index" is the only university/institution ranking system that analyzes the distribution of scientists in an institution according to the 3, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 percentiles. In addition to the country, continent and world ranking of all institutions, the "Type of Institution" section provides the ranking of universities separately among All Universities, Private Universities and Public Universities is given separately. You can also find the rankings of institutions, companies and hospitals. The "AD Scientific Index" University Ranking will not only show the areas in which a university is best or focused, but also reflect the results of the institutions' scientist recruitment policies. This feature reveals the ability of institutions to attract successful scientists and the ability of institutions to promote advances and retain scientists. See also: University Subject Rankings.
