All QS rankings are compiled by the QS Intelligence Unit (QSIU)  in consultation with the QS Global Academic Advisory Board. Bibliometric data required in the citation score sections of the methodology is supplied by Scopus, part of Elsevier, the world's largest abstract and citation database of research literature.  QSIU is also responsible for compiling the various university rankings that QS is widely known for and offers a range of business intelligence and evaluation services. The presentation will cover detailed reviews of QS World, Arab and Subject Ranking methodologies.
