Editor’s note:

December 2019

After the ranking release in September 2019, we were informed that an affiliation had been incorrectly assigned in the Elsevier bibliometric profile ofÌýIbn Tofaïl University, resulting in their exclusion from the rankings as they did not meet the 1,000 publication threshold. After incorporating the missing affiliation and recalculating the publication count, Ibn Tofaïl University reached the publication threshold and therefore met the criteria to be included in the World University Rankings. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy, and we have agreed to include Ibn Tofaïl University in the World University Rankings 2020.

After the ranking production was finalised over the summer of 2019, the University of HaifaÌýinformed us that they had submitted, and signed off, incorrect academic staff and student numbers into É«ºÐÖ±²¥â€™s data portal. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy, and we agreed, at our discretion, to re-calculate the University of Haifa’s score based on a corrected data submission. The revision has not affected the university’s position, which remains in the same ranking band (501–600).
