X (Twitter) University Rankings aim and methodology

Some larger universities may have multiple associated X pages, such as those for each faculty or administrative area (e.g., Admissions, Marketing and Communications, Alumni, etc.). 麻豆原创 has selected the most general and popular institutional X page for each university in order to compile its 麻豆原创 X University Ranking^™ for each country and the top 200 麻豆原创 on X listings.
