Abstract: Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) is an annual classification of worldwide universities, grouped by subject, according to five indicators: Q1, CNCI, IC, Top and Award, evaluating, in particular, the quality of research activities. This paper aims to perform a comparative study, through a descriptive analysis, of universities in Topi of GRAS 2020, to relate and compare their indicators. This report first presents information about ranking indicators and, then, shows the results of them: Q1, CNCI, IC, Top and Award. The best performing institution is Harvard University (HARVARD), achieved the best Total Score values in two subjects: Biological Sciences (BS) of Life Sciences field and Statistic of Social Sciences field. However, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) achieves placing with the highest Total Score values in two subjects: Physics of Natural Sciences field and Materials Science & Engineering of Engineering field. Also, Michigan University (UMICH) obtains the highest Total Score value in Dentistry & Oral Sciences subject of Medical Sciences field.

1. Introduction
Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) and Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) are published to know the positioning of the best higher education institutions (lESs) in the world [1] [2].
Indicators are used to measure the quality of universities according to academic activities, production
and dissemination of research, innovation, internationalization, competitiveness, to name just a few [3] [4] [5] [6].
In the case of GRAS [2], also edited every year since 2009, is presented by field: Natural Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences, through a World Rank value (WR) positioning the university and, also, a Total Score value (TS) as university performance to relate five indicators: Q, CNCI, IC, Top and Award [7] [8].
Top1 of universities classified in each subject is considered in this paper. Universities from the US take top positions in 31 subjects; universities from China dominate 11 subjects. The greatest performing IES is Harvard University (HARVARD), taking 14 crowns, 5 of which are from Social Sciences subject, 4 from Medical Sciences, 3 from Engineering, and 2 form Life Sciences. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) tops 6 subjects, 5 of which are engineering field [7] [8]. Other universities included are: University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley), University of Pennsylvania (UPENN), New York University (NYU), University of Chicago (UCHICAGO), Yale University (YALE), Michigan University (UMICH) and University of Colorado at Boulder (CU Boulder) from the US. Oxford University (OX) from the United Kingdom and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) from SG. Paris-Saclay University (PSU) tops the list of the subject of Mathematics at its first appearance in GRAS 2020. Also, universities of CN highlights: Tsinghua university (Tsinghua), Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), Tongji University (TONGJI), Jiangnan University (JU), Beihang University (BUAA), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), Beijing Jiaotong University (NJTU), Wuhan University (WHU), Central South University (CSU), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (POLYU), University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). From NL are classified Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and University of Amsterdam (UVA). De DK, Aarhus University (AU) and from BE, Ghent University (UGENT), to name just a few.
This paper aims to perform a comparative study, through a descriptive analysis, of universities in Top1 of Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) 2020 [9], to relate and compare their indicators. This report first presents information about ranking indicators and, then, shows the results of them: Q1, CNCI, IC, Top and Award.

2. GRAS 2020 edition
Since 2009, ShanghaiRanking Consultancy stared to publish the ARWU on a global scale and, also, by academic subjects, called Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) [1] [2]. 2020 edition was published on 29th of this year and has a classification higher than four thousand (4.000) IESs in five fields: Natural Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences, which are divided in fifty-four (54) subjects [7].
While six objective indicators of ARWU are about the number of students and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Clarivate Analytics, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded Social Sciences Citation Index and per capita performance of a university [10] [11], GRAS ranking indicators are five: Q1, CNCI, IC, Top and Award, which have different weightings, according to subjects (Table 1) [8]. Two similarities in both rankings are: 1) the maximum indicator value is one hundred (100), corresponding to the obtained by the best university. The indicator is
calculated as a percentage proportionate to this maximum value (100) to others universities [8] [10] [11] [12] and, 2) each university is associated to a World Rank value (WR) which informs about their position and calculates Total Score (TS) as academic performance, product of a relationship with indicators [8] [13] [14] [15].
GRAS ranking focuses its objective to research activities, and most especially, for cutting-edge research [15], because universities are selected from a minimum amount of scientific papers during the period 2014-2018, which is variable depending on subject . Bibliometric data are collected from Web of Science and InCites. Web of Science categories are mapped to 54 academic subjects [8] [9].

4. Conclusions
GRAS and ARWU are classifications of global universities, performed by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, to visualize the positioning of these University Education Institutions, and compare their total score according to indicators. In the case of GRAS are five: Q1, CNCI, IC, Top and Award, which have different weightings according to 54 academic subjects divided into five fields: Natural Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences and Social Sciences. In this paper, a comparative study was performed, through a descriptive analysis, of universities in Top1 of GRAS 2020, to relate and compare their indicators.
The best performing institution is Harvard University (HARVARD), which achieves the greatest values of Total Score in two subjects: Biological Sciences (BS) with TS (360.9) in Life Sciences field and Statistic (S) with TS (399.8) in Social Sciences field. However, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) also achieves to position with the best scores in two subjects: Physics of Natural Sciences field with TS (390.1) and Materials Science & Engineering with TS (366.4) in Engineering field. And Michigan University (UMICH), in Dentistry & Oral Sciences subject, with TS (367.4) is the best in Medical Sciences field.
In Q1 indicator, 9 universities achieve the best score (100). In CNCI indicator, four universities achieve that score. In IC indicator, one university achieves the highest value of 91.8. In Top indicator, 20 universities reach 100. Finally, Award indicator, 12 are positioned as the best universities also with the value of 100.
