英国《泰晤士报高等教育期刊》（THE）前不久公布了2014全球年轻大学排名，参与评选的院校均是建校时间短于50年的新兴大学，展现了新兴大学的发展潜力与前景。
The Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 2014 is a ranking of the top 100 universities under 50 years old. It provides a glimpse into the future, showcasing not those institutions with centuries of history, but the rising stars which show great potential.
该排名就大学的教学和研究表现(包括师生比例、论文产量和博士数目)、论文引用次数及国际化等13项表现进行评分，与全球大学排名的评分标准基本相同，但会将教学及研究声誉比重调低。
The table employs the same 13 separate indicators as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, but the 100 Under 50 2014 methodology has been carefully re-calibrated to reflect the special characteristics of younger universities, giving less weight to subjective indicators of academic reputation.
