Top 200 World Universities 2010

Below is a Table of the Top 200 World Universities in 2010 according to 4iuc.org. It is the first time I've heard of this organization. I am interested to know the parameters how they came up with the list shown below. Except for two universities in China, North American universities dominated the top ten spot.


Also surprising is that the University of Cambridge and University of Oxford (UK) are not in the top ten list.


Only three universities in Japan made it to the top 200 list. Keio University ranks 18th while The University of Tokyo is in the 90th place, an unusual phenomenon. Waseda University ranks 159th. My alma mater, Hokkaido University is not in the list.


No university from the Philippines was included in the list.
