A to v počtu publikací v časopisech Nature a Science, kde získala stejné skóre jako před rokem (7,3 bodů), v počtu publikací indexovaných na Web of Science, kde svůj bodový zisk zvýšila na 31,5 bodů (loni 30,5) a také ve svém výkonu na akademika, kde své skóre meziročně vylepšila na 22,1 bodů (před rokem 19,9). V neposlední řadě lepšímu umístění MU pomohl zástupce na seznamu vysoce citovaných výzkumníků (6,8 bodů), což se univerzitě po Masaryk University's ranking this year is based on its performance in four indicators. And this in the number of publications in the journals Nature and Science, where it received the same score as a year ago (7.3 points), in the number of publications indexed on the Web of Science, where it increased its point gain to 31.5 points (30.5 last year) and also in her academic performance, where she improved her score year-on-year to 22.1 points (19.9 a year ago). Last but not least, a representative on the list of highly cited researchers (6.8 points), which the university achieved for the first time, helped MU's better ranking.dařilo poprvé.
