It was once proven that the research capacities of YU (President Sur Gil-soo) are at world-class levels.

In the '2017 Leiden Ranking' that assesses world college rankings based on the qualitative level of theses, YU was ranked 37th in the world in the mathematics & computer science sector (based on top 10% theses in citation frequency). It rose by 13 ranks compared to 50th last year, and has thus been ranked in the top 50 of the world for three consecutive years in the mathematics and computer science fields. Aside from YU, no universities in Korea were ranked in the top 250, thereby showing that YU's research capacities are unparalleled. It is sixth place among Asian universities and an unrivaled first in Korea <See table>. YU is the only university in Korea that was ranked in the top 200 in all six fields ranked by the Leiden Ranking in overall ranking and individual fields.

The Leiden Ranking announces ranks in a total of six sectors such as overall rank, mathematics & computer science, biomedical & health sciences, life & earth sciences, physical sciences & engineering, and social sciences & humanities.

YU also rose six ranks in the overall rankings for Korean universities from 21st place last year to 15th this year. It was also ranked 15th in the social sciences & humanities sector and 17th in the life and earth sciences sector in Korea, thus being recognized for its excellence in research (based on top 10% theses in citation frequency).

The 'Leiden Ranking' is announced by Leiden University in the Netherlands and excludes subjective qualitative evaluation factors, and calculates rankings focusing on the number of theses and the rate of their citations. Therefore, it is an important index that can determine the research performance and research performance of universities. It uses the database of Thomson Reuters, which is an academic information service company, to analyze theses of the past four years, and has been ranking universities annually since 2011. This year, it assessed 802 schools around the world that published more than 1,000 theses from 2012 to 2015.

The Leiden Ranking publishes the ratio of comparing theses with the top 10% citation in the respective academic fields in comparison with all other theses. While it is a ranking index with the top 10% citation theses ratio being the most important, the top 1% thesis ratio is also announced through the freely offered database.
