To sum up the ARWU results in terms of Japanese universities:
1. One institution makes the top 20--Tokyo University. However, Todai fell from 19 in 2008 to 20 this year.
2. Kyoto University is in the top 30 at 24, but slipped from 23 in 2008.
3. Osaka, Nagoya and Tohoku are all in the top 100, at 71, 82, and 84, respectively. Tokyo Institute of Technology, unlike the QS table, IS NOT in the top 100.
4. Todai and Kyodai are still considered the top two universities for the Asia/Pacific region, unlike the findings of the QS results, which puts Australian National University at 17, very much higher than the ARWU's rank of 59.
