US universities lead the world in scientific innovation but face strong competition from Asian rivals with close ties to industry, according to a detailed analysis of academic papers and patent filings, writes Ben Hirschler for Reuters.
The inaugural Reuters Top 100 survey, published mid-September, places Stanford University in top spot, reflecting its position as a crucible for new ideas at the heart of Silicon Valley. Stanford alumni have gone on to create some of the world's biggest technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo and Google. The top nine places are all taken by US colleges, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University ranked second and third. Asian universities are a growing force in scientific innovation and have proved particularly adept at turning this into products, with South Korea – home to rising tech giants such as Samsung – scoring highly in patent approvals. South Korea has eight schools in the top 100 universities, while Japan has nine – more than all countries bar the United States.
The new Reuters league table aims to produce the most comprehensive and systematic ranking of academic innovation to date by analysing 10 different measures, based on the volume and impact of scientific research, the volume and success of patent filings and the use of cited discoveries in the academic and corporate worlds.
