When creating this ranking the authors followed the ever popular assumption that national universities should make money on their R&D projects. Accordingly, if a university consistently succeeds in this, it proves its relevance to the market and the national economics. But if a university fails to make money on R&D, it is considered lacking in usefulness which degrades such university to the status of a school.

As a result of the competition, 55 universities were selected that were to receive the government funds to support their strategic development initiatives in 2012 through 2014.
