Changes to the ranges...

Another FAQ we've been receiving since the new Fact Files were distributed relates to the planned publishing ranges.

In previous year's we have published the indicator list down to 300, with any falling outside this range carrying a 301+. With more institutions than ever involved this year, we have taken the step to provide further detail and will this year publish results down to 400 with a 401+ thereafter. An institution ranked at 562 in 2012 will have been presented as 301+, but despite improving to 515 in 2013 their result will presented as 401+ which could be perceived as lower, but isn't really.

Furthermore in the overall table, we previously published to 400, followed by ranges of 50 to 600 and 601+ catch all for the rest. This year we will still publish to 400, followed by ranges of 10 to 500, ranges of 50 to 700 and 701+ category.

Enjoy the extra detail.
