The 2022 edition of the renowned Shanghai ranking, (“Shanghai Ranking”)establishing a list of the 500 best universities in the world according to their performance in scientific research, was published on August 15, 2022.

In addition to this overall ranking, rankings by discipline, including psychology, have also been established.

The analysis covered 5,000 universities in 96 countries and regions. For each discipline, the top 500 institutions are listed.

The ranking is based on criteria such as the number of research articles published, the number of times these articles are cited in scientific publications, international collaborations and major awards obtained by researchers.

In psychology, as in previous years, one observation is the weak position of France, of which only 16 universities appear among the 500 best.

For several years, Harvard University (USA) has held the first position. The top 10 is held by American and British universities as well as a Canadian university.

The top 5 positions remained unchanged from 2021. As for the other 5 positions, 4 universities remained there by changing position slightly, except the University of California at Los Angeles which remained in 8th position.
