The rating methodology is absurd. Just looked at the Science and Technology ranking:
- Rating includes noble prizes which span more than a hundred years.
- Ukraine, Bulgaria and Bosnia are above the US. Don't have anything against those countries at all but it seems strange.
- Belarus is at 36 and Egypt at 45 while JAPAN is at 46! It seems the number of international students skews the data way too much(and doesn't seem that relevant for a science and tech rating)
