Globally, it was placed in the top 1,000-1,200 universities on the planet, state agency Hina reported on Monday, citing a press release sent by the University of Split.

This year’s ranking analyzed more than 100 million citations across over 14 million research publications and included survey responses from 22,000 scholars globally.

“This year the University of Split achieved a higher score in four of the five performance areas – teaching, research, industry income, and international outlook, while the citations area received the highest score,” Hina said, citing the unsigned press release. Hina did not specify what this year’s score was higher from.
