For the academic year of 2024/2025, the University of Oxford was ranked as the best university in the world, with an overall score of 98.5 according the Times Higher Education. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University followed behind. A high number of the leading universities in the world are located in the United States, with the ETH Zürich in Switzerland the highest ranked neither in the United Kingdom nor the U.S.

This dataset is a compilation of processed data on citation and references for research papers including their author, institution and open access info for a selected sample of academics analysed using Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) data and CORE. The data for this dataset was collected during December 2019 to January 2020.Six countries (Austria, Brazil, Germany, India, Portugal, United Kingdom and United States) were the focus of the six questions which make up this dataset. There is one csv file per country and per question (36 files in total). More details about the creation of this dataset are available on the public ON-MERRIT D3.1 deliverable report.The dataset is a combination of two different data sources, one part is a dataset created on analysing promotion policies across the target countries, while the second part is a set of data points available to understand the publishing behaviour. To facilitate the analysis the dataset is organised in the following seven folders:PRTThe dataset with the file name "PRT_policies.csv" contains the related information as this was extracted from promotion, review and tenure (PRT) policies. Q1: What % of papers coming from a university are Open Access?- Dataset Name format: oa_status_countryname_papers.csv- Dataset Contents: Open Access (OA) status of all papers of all the universities listed in Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THEWUR) for the given country. A paper is marked OA if there is at least an OA link available. OA links are collected using the CORE Discovery API.- Important considerations about this dataset: - Papers with multiple authorship are preserved only once towards each of the distinct institutions their authors may belong to. - The service we used to recognise if a paper is OA, CORE Discovery, does not contain entries for all paperids in MAG. This implies that some of the records in the dataset extracted will not have either a true or false value for the _is_OA_ field. - Only those records marked as true for _is_OA_ field can be said to be OA. Others with false or no value for is_OA field are unknown status (i.e. not necessarily closed access).Q2: How are papers, published by the selected universities, distributed across the three scientific disciplines of our choice?- Dataset Name format: fsid_countryname_papers.csv- Dataset Contents: For the given country, all papers for all the universities listed in THEWUR with the information of fieldofstudy they belong to.- Important considerations about this dataset: * MAG can associate a paper to multiple fieldofstudyid. If a paper belongs to more than one of our fieldofstudyid, separate records were created for the paper with each of those _fieldofstudyid_s.- MAG assigns fieldofstudyid to every paper with a score. We preserve only those records whose score is more than 0.5 for any fieldofstudyid it belongs to.- Papers with multiple authorship are preserved only once towards each of the distinct institutions their authors may belong to. Papers with authorship from multiple universities are counted once towards each of the universities concerned.Q3: What is the gender distribution in authorship of papers published by the universities?- Dataset Name format: author_gender_countryname_papers.csv- Dataset Contents: All papers with their author names for all the universities listed in THEWUR.- Important considerations about this dataset :- When there are multiple collaborators(authors) for the same paper, this dataset makes sure that only the records for collaborators from within selected universities are preserved.- An external script was executed to determine the gender of the authors. The script is available here.Q4: Distribution of staff seniority (= number of years from their first publication until the last publication) in the given university.- Dataset Name format: author_ids_countryname_papers.csv- Dataset Contents: For a given country, all papers for authors with their publication year for all the universities listed in THEWUR.- Important considerations about this work :- When there are multiple collaborators(authors) for the same paper, this dataset makes sure that only the records for collaborators from within selected universities are preserved.- Calculating staff seniority can be achieved in various ways. The most straightforward option is to calculate it as _academic_age = MAX(year) - MIN(year) _for each authorid.Q5: Citation counts (incoming) for OA vs Non-OA papers published by the university.- Dataset Name format: cc_oa_countryname_papers.csv- Dataset Contents: OA status and OA links for all papers of all the universities listed in THEWUR and for each of those papers, count of incoming citations available in MAG.- Important considerations about this dataset :- CORE Discovery was used to establish the OA status of papers.- Papers with multiple authorship are preserved only once towards each of the distinct institutions their authors may belong to.- Only those records marked as true for _is_OA_ field can be said to be OA. Others with false or no value for is_OA field are unknown status (i.e. not necessarily closed access).Q6: Count of OA vs Non-OA references (outgoing) for all papers published by universities.- Dataset Name format: rc_oa_countryname_-papers.csv- Dataset Contents: Counts of all OA and unknown papers referenced by all papers published by all the universities listed in THEWUR.- Important considerations about this dataset :- CORE Discovery was used to establish the OA status of papers being referenced.- Papers with multiple authorship are preserved only once towards each of the distinct institutions their authors may belong to. Papers with authorship from multiple universities are counted once towards each of the universities concerned.Additional files:- _fieldsofstudy_mag_.csv: this file contains a dump of fieldsofstudy table of MAG mapping each of the ids to their actual field of study name.

The Covid-19 pandemic has completely reshaped the lives of people around the world, including the lives of higher education students. Beyond serious health consequences for a proportion of those directly affected by the virus, the pandemic holds important implications for the life and work of higher education students, considerably affecting their physical and mental well-being. To capture how students perceived the first wave of the pandemic’s impact, one of the most comprehensive and large-scale online surveys across the world was conducted. Carried out between 5 May 2020 and 15 June 2020, the survey came at a time when most countries were experiencing the arduous lockdown restrictions. The online questionnaire was prepared in seven different languages (English, Italian, North Macedonian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish) and covered various aspects of higher education students’ life, including socio-demographic and academic characteristics, academic life, infrastructure and skills for studying from home, social life, emotional life and life circumstances. Using the convenience sampling method, the online questionnaire was distributed to higher education students (aged 18 and over) and enrolled in a higher education institution. The final dataset consisted of 31,212 responses from 133 countries and 6 continents. The data may prove useful for researchers studying the pandemic’s impacts on various aspects of student life. Policymakers can utilize the data to determine the best solutions as they formulate policy recommendations and strategies to support students during this and any future pandemic.

This dataset provides information about 2007 Endowment figures across Colleges and Universities in the World (mainly in the United States). The Study was conducted by NACUBO. Results are also listed for 2006 and percentage change has also been listed between the two years. Locations are mapped by the lat/lon coordinates of the institution. More information on the study can be found at http://www.nacubo.org/ The National Endowment Study is the largest and longest running annual survey studying the endowment holdings of higher education institutions and their foundations. Information is collected and calculated on behalf of NACUBO by TIAA-CREF. Seven hundred and eighty-five (785) institutions in the United States and Canada participated in the 2007 NES, which is the largest number in the 35-year history of the study and the seventh consecutive year of record-breaking participation since NACUBO began its partnership with TIAA-CREF in 2000. NACUBO, (National Association of College and University Business Officers) founded in 1962, is a nonprofit professional organization representing chief administrative and financial officers at more than 2,100 colleges and universities across the country.

Indian Students Abroad

Country-wise Statistics

By Harish Kumar Garg [source]

About this dataset

This dataset is about the number of Indian students studying abroad in different countries and the detailed information about different nations where Indian students are present. The data has been complied from the Ministry Of External Affairs to answer a question from the Member of Parliament regarding how many students from India are studying in foreign countries and which country. This dataset includes two fields, Country Name and Number of Indians Studying Abroad as of Mar 2017, giving a unique opportunity to track student mobility across various nations around the world. With this valuable data about student mobility, we can gain insights into how educational opportunities for Indian students have increased over time as well as look at trends in international education throughout different regions. From comparison among countries with similar academic opportunities to tracking regional popularity among study destinations, this dataset provides important context for studying student migration patterns. We invite everyone to explore this data further and use it to draw meaningful conclusions!

The study used an explanatory sequential mixed method design. This method is appropriate for examining the employment status of STEM graduates in terms of gender as well as the time it takes for graduates to secure their first job after graduating. The method is also employed to look at how staff in higher education supports female graduates in their search for employment after graduation. By design, this study collects data in a sequential fashion, starting with quantitative data and moving on to qualitative data that provide context for the quantitative data.Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed in the study (See Figure A). While information from secondary sources was gathered using Eric, Scopus, and Google search engines, information from primary sources was gathered through questionnaires and interviews. PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) was used to conduct the analysis. Using the keywords employment status, duration of job search, and gender-responsive support of higher education, the first 221 articles were collected. Only 15 articles were chosen when PRISMA used the inclusion and exclusion criteria to filter out publications gathered between 2012 and 2024. The information gathered from secondary sources was utilized to triangulate the findings of the primary data sources. The following figure shows the data sources.Figure A: Data sources for the study (see the Description Word Doc. in the dataset)Based on the explanatory sequential mixed method design, quantitative data analysis was first carried out. In order to determine whether there were statistical differences in the employment status and the time it took for male and female STEM engineering graduates to find jobs, the chi square test was employed. An analysis of the degree to which higher education institutions assist female graduates in their job search was also done using an independent samples t-test. The viewpoints of academics from these related universities and prospective employers of STEM graduates were captured through the use of qualitative data.

This dataset contains World Resource Institute Earth Trends Water Withdrawal for the period 2020-2040. Data from World Resource Institute. Follow datasource.kapsarc.org for timely data to advance energy economics research.WRI projected future country-level water stress for 2020, 2030, and 2040 under business-as-usual (BAU), optimistic, and pessimistic scenarios. Each tab lists country projected water stress scores for each scenario and year, weighted by overall water withdrawals. Scores weighted by individual sectors (agricultural, domestic, and industrial) are provided as well.These global projections are best suited to making comparisons among countries for the same year and among scenarios and decades for the same region. More detailed and localized data or scenarios can better estimate potential outcomes for specific regions and expose large sub-national variations that are subsumed under countrywide water-stress values. The country indicators face persistent limitations in attempting to simplify complex information, such as spatial and temporal variations, into a single number. They also do not account for the governance and investment structure of the water sector in different countries. It is important to note the inherent uncertainty in estimating any future conditions, particularly those associated with climate change, future population and economic trends, and water demand. Additionally, care should be taken when examining the change rates of a country’s projected stress levels between one year and another, because the risk-score thresholds are not linear. For more information on these limitations, see the technical note.Water Stresswithdrawals / available flowWater stress measures total annual water withdrawals (municipal, industrial, and agricultural) expressed as a percentage of the total annual available blue water. Higher values indicate more competition among users.Score Value[0-1) Low (<10%)[1-2) Low to medium (10-20%)[2-3) Medium to high (20-40%)[3-4) High (40-80%)[4-5] Extremely high (>80%)

The World Religion Project (WRP) aims to provide detailed information about religious adherence worldwide since 1945. It contains data about the number of adherents by religion in each of the states in the international system. These numbers are given for every half-decade period (1945, 1950, etc., through 2010). Percentages of the states' populations that practice a given religion are also provided. (Note: These percentages are expressed as decimals, ranging from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates that 0 percent of the population practices a given religion and 1 indicates that 100 percent of the population practices that religion.) Some of the religions (as detailed below) are divided into religious families. To the extent data are available, the breakdown of adherents within a given religion into religious families is also provided.

The project was developed in three stages. The first stage consisted of the formation of a religion tree. A religion tree is a systematic classification of major religions and of religious families within those major religions. To develop the religion tree we prepared a comprehensive literature review, the aim of which was (i) to define a religion, (ii) to find tangible indicators of a given religion of religious families within a major religion, and (iii) to identify existing efforts at classifying world religions. (Please see the original survey instrument to view the structure of the religion tree.) The second stage consisted of the identification of major data sources of religious adherence and the collection of data from these sources according to the religion tree classification. This created a dataset that included multiple records for some states for a given point in time. It also contained multiple missing data for specific states, specific time periods and specific religions. The third stage consisted of cleaning the data, reconciling discrepancies of information from different sources and imputing data for the missing cases.

The Global Religion Dataset: This dataset uses a religion-by-five-year unit. It aggregates the number of adherents of a given religion and religious group globally by five-year periods.

This dataset contains the QS World University Rankings for the 2023 -25 edition, featuring over 1,000 top universities across the globe.

QS uses a rich methodology to assess institutions based on 13 metrics, including academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty/student ratio, and sustainability.

The Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3): Population Count Grid, Future Estimates consists of estimates of human population for the years 2005, 2010, and 2015 by 2.5 arc-minute grid cells and associated data sets dated circa 2000. A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing more than 300,000 national and sub-national administrative Units, is used to assign population values to grid cells. The population counts that the grids are derived from are extrapolated based on a combination of subnational growth rates from census dates and national growth rates from United Nations statistics. All of the grids have been adjusted to match United Nations national level population estimates. The population count grids contain estimates of the number of persons per grid cell. The grids are available in various GIS-compatible data formats and geographic extents (global, continent [Antarctica not included], and country levels). GPWv3 is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT).

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the official and trusted source of internationally comparable data on education, science, culture and communication. As the official statistical agency of UNESCO, and the custodian agency for Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Education (SDG 4), the UIS produces a wide range of data to inform the policies and investments needed to transform lives and propel the world towards its development goals.

This collection includes only a subset of indicators from the source dataset.

The Global Terrorism Database™ (GTD) is an open-source database including information on terrorist events around the world from 1970 through 2020 (with annual updates planned for the future). Unlike many other event databases, the GTD includes systematic data on domestic as well as international terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includes more than 200,000 cases.

Updates

• Notice of data discontinuation: Since the start of the pandemic, AP has reported case and death counts from data provided by Johns Hopkins University. Johns Hopkins University has announced that they will stop their daily data collection efforts after March 10. As Johns Hopkins stops providing data, the AP will also stop collecting daily numbers for COVID cases and deaths. The HHS and CDC now collect and visualize key metrics for the pandemic. AP advises using those resources when reporting on the pandemic going forward.

  • CDC Weekly case and death counts (national and state level)
  • CDC County level cases and deaths
  • HHS New hospital admissions
  • CDC NowCast COVID variant proportions (national and regional level)

• April 9, 2020

  • The population estimate data for New York County, NY has been updated to include all five New York City counties (Kings County, Queens County, Bronx County, Richmond County and New York County). This has been done to match the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data, which aggregates counts for the five New York City counties to New York County.

• April 20, 2020

  • Johns Hopkins death totals in the US now include confirmed and probable deaths in accordance with CDC guidelines as of April 14. One significant result of this change was an increase of more than 3,700 deaths in the New York City count. This change will likely result in increases for death counts elsewhere as well. The AP does not alter the Johns Hopkins source data, so probable deaths are included in this dataset as well.

• April 29, 2020

  • The AP is now providing timeseries data for counts of COVID-19 cases and deaths. The raw counts are provided here unaltered, along with a population column with Census ACS-5 estimates and calculated daily case and death rates per 100,000 people. Please read the updated caveats section for more information.

• September 1st, 2020

  • Johns Hopkins is now providing counts for the five New York City counties individually.

• February 12, 2021

  • The Ohio Department of Health recently announced that as many as 4,000 COVID-19 deaths may have been underreported through the state’s reporting system, and that the "daily reported death counts will be high for a two to three-day period."
  • Because deaths data will be anomalous for consecutive days, we have chosen to freeze Ohio's rolling average for daily deaths at the last valid measure until Johns Hopkins is able to back-distribute the data. The raw daily death counts, as reported by Johns Hopkins and including the backlogged death data, will still be present in the new_deaths column.

• February 16, 2021

  - Johns Hopkins has reconciled Ohio's historical deaths data with the state.

  Overview

The AP is using data collected by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering as our source for outbreak caseloads and death counts for the United States and globally.

The Hopkins data is available at the county level in the United States. The AP has paired this data with population figures and county rural/urban designations, and has calculated caseload and death rates per 100,000 people. Be aware that caseloads may reflect the availability of tests -- and the ability to turn around test results quickly -- rather than actual disease spread or true infection rates.

This data is from the Hopkins dashboard that is updated regularly throughout the day. Like all organizations dealing with data, Hopkins is constantly refining and cleaning up their feed, so there may be brief moments where data does not appear correctly. At this link, you’ll find the Hopkins daily data reports, and a clean version of their feed.

The AP is updating this dataset hourly at 45 minutes past the hour.

Caveats

• This data represents the number of cases and deaths reported by each state and has been collected by Johns Hopkins from a number of sources cited on their website.
• In some cases, deaths or cases of people who've crossed state lines -- either to receive treatment or because they became sick and couldn't return home while traveling -- are reported in a state they aren't currently in, because of state reporting rules.
• In some states, there are a number of cases not assigned to a specific county -- for those cases, the county name is "unassigned to a single county"
• This data should be credited to Johns Hopkins University's COVID-19 tracking project. The AP is simply making it available here for ease of use for reporters and members.
• Caseloads may reflect the availability of tests -- and the ability to turn around test results quickly -- rather than actual disease spread or true infection rates.
• Population estimates at the county level are drawn from 2014-18 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey.
• The Urban/Rural classification scheme is from the Center for Disease Control and Preventions's National Center for Health Statistics. It puts each county into one of six categories -- from Large Central Metro to Non-Core -- according to population and other characteristics. More details about the classifications can be found here.

Johns Hopkins timeseries data - Johns Hopkins pulls data regularly to update their dashboard. Once a day, around 8pm EDT, Johns Hopkins adds the counts for all areas they cover to the timeseries file. These counts are snapshots of the latest cumulative counts provided by the source on that day. This can lead to inconsistencies if a source updates their historical data for accuracy, either increasing or decreasing the latest cumulative count. - Johns Hopkins periodically edits their historical timeseries data for accuracy. They provide a file documenting all errors in their timeseries files that they have identified and fixed here

This dataset explores Full-time-equivalent (FTE) fall enrollment in degree-granting institutions, by control and state - Selected years, 1980 through 2005 NOTE: Data through 1990 are for institutions of higher education, while later data are for degree-granting institutions. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees.

The Gridded Population of the World, Version 4 (GPWv4): Population Density, Revision 11 consists of estimates of human population density (number of persons per square kilometer) based on counts consistent with national censuses and population registers, for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing approximately 13.5 million national and sub-national administrative units, was used to assign population counts to 30 arc-second grid cells. The population density rasters were created by dividing the population count raster for a given target year by the land area raster. The data files were produced as global rasters at 30 arc-second (~1 km at the equator) resolution.

Purpose: To provide estimates of population density for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020, based on counts consistent with national censuses and population registers, as raster data to facilitate data integration.

Terrorism is among the most pressing challenges to democratic governance around the world. The Responsible Terrorism Coverage (or ResTeCo) project aims to address a fundamental dilemma facing 21st century societies: how to give citizens the information they need without giving terrorists the kind of attention they want. The ResTeCo hopes to inform best practices by using extreme-scale text analytic methods to extract information from more than 70 years of terrorism-related media coverage from around the world and across 5 languages. Our goal is to expand the available data on media responses to terrorism and enable the development of empirically-validated models for socially responsible, effective news organizations. This particular dataset contains information extracted from terrorism-related stories in the Summary of World Broadcasts published between 1979 and 2019. It includes variables that measure the relative share of terrorism-related topics, the valence and intensity of emotional language, as well as the people, places, and organizations mentioned. This dataset contains 3 files: 1. "ResTeCo Project SWB Dataset Variable Descriptions.pdf" A detailed codebook containing a summary of the Responsible Terrorism Coverage (ResTeCo) Project BBC Summary of World Broadcasts (SWB) Dataset and descriptions of all variables. 2. "resteco-swb.csv" This file contains the data extracted from terrorism-related media coverage in the BBC Summary of World Broadcasts (SWB) between 1979 and 2019. It includes variables that measure the relative share of topics, sentiment, and emotion present in this coverage. There are also variables that contain metadata and list the people, places, and organizations mentioned in these articles. There are 53 variables and 438,373 observations. The variable "id" uniquely identifies each observation. Each observation represents a single news article. Please note that care should be taken when using "resteco-swb.csv". The file may not be suitable to use in a spreadsheet program like Excel as some of the values get to be quite large. Excel cannot handle some of these large values, which may cause the data to appear corrupted within the software. It is encouraged that a user of this data use a statistical package such as Stata, R, or Python to ensure the structure and quality of the data remains preserved. 3.
