The sources of information for the rating were university profiles and data from independent sources: monitoring the employment of graduates made by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Web Of Science Core Collection database, Wikipedia Internet encyclopedia, Alexa Web Analytics Company, VK and Facebook social networks, and RAEX agency's own data.

In the RAEX ranking of influence, the first five positions were taken by Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, Higher School of Economics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and RANEPA.
