Editor’s note: November 2018
In Autumn 2018, after publication of the 2019 World University Rankings, East China Normal University (ECNU) informed us that they had submitted, and signed off, incorrect research income data into THE’s data portal. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy, and we agreed, at our discretion, to re-calculate ECNU’s score based on a corrected data submission. The re-calculation based on corrected data means that ECNU is now positioned within the 501-600 band, up from the 601-800 band in the World University Rankings. The university also moves to 101-125 in the education subject ranking, and 401-500 in the physical sciences ranking.
