QS Subject ranking is one of the very important subjects ranking at international level. It was launched in 2011 to meet the needs of students, professors and university community. Due to the difference between the subject ranking and the general ranking and to prevent from any misuse, QS has made some changes in the related standards and indexes. The quality of faculty members, reputation, citation and H-index are among the most important standards for university ranking in different subjects; however it should be noted that the scales of each of these standards in different subjects are different. The reference of QS to collect data is related to citations and publication of Scopus data base.
