EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Europe ranked based on their research performance in Sports Medicine. A graph of 8.67M citations received by 350K academic papers made by 690 universities in Europe was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.
