For once this is actually not based on bullshit standards. Other rankings have more western universities at the top because they use complex and somewhat arbitrary ranking scores that include “academic reputation” and “learning experience” which honestly aren’t really objectively quantifiable. This ranking just looks at number of scientific publications, which is objective and verifiable. Another objective metric you can look at is number of citations by other scientific papers.
Number of citations by other scientific publications might be a strong objective standard though but only if you cover recent years (because then older institutions would get an advantage). My reasoning is that if it was used by another scientific paper than its predicate either formed the reasoning for the new paper or bolstered the results, unless there was a contradiction addressed but those would have to be weeded out.
