EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Latin America ranked based on their research performance in Neuroscience. A graph of 3.76M citations received by 240K academic papers made by 324 universities in Latin America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.
