Data files (CSV)

• Overall rankings (CSV) (136 KB)
  Every university analysed: rank, band, score, the four pillar percentiles, verified and expected industry works, company partners, sustained partnerships, and national and regional rank.
• Sector indices (CSV) (550 KB)
  Every published sector ranking, one row per university and sector, with each sector's pool size; the withheld robotics ranking appears as a status row.
• Sector Award finalists (CSV) (52 KB)
  The finalist partnerships in every award category, the winner marked, with joint works, years active and the evidence paper.
• Company verification (CSV) (3.8 MB)
  Every organisation considered as a company: its company group, country, state-owned mark and any exclusion reason, with the company-level verification pass of author affiliations (one per author the open record lists at the organisation, confirmed or set aside). These are counted before university attribution, deduplication and the verification refresh, so their totals differ from the link ledger, which gives every counted link with its outcome.
• Topic to sector map (CSV) (435 KB)
  Which research topics belong to which of the 21 industry sectors.
• Link ledger (compressed CSV) (50.7 MB)
  Every university and company link considered, one row per work, university and company, with its outcome and the reason for any link set aside.
