The US has 34 universities in the top 100, down from 38 last year and 41 five years ago. China increased its representation with 7 universities in the top 100, compared to 6 last year and 3 five years ago.

In the US, the best universities continue to dominate the upper parts of the rankings, but a divide is emerging between the quality of research at elite universities and the rest. The citation score declined slightly for the top 25% of US universities, but the bottom 75% lost about four points over five years. Conversely, the bottom 75% of Chinese universities increased their average citation rate by 16 points.
