SOURCE REGISTER

Follow the number back.

A selection of the sources behind CollegeStat figures. Every university profile links each figure to its own source.

OPEN DATA FOUNDATIONS

Traceable data. A growing picture.

Open datasets we draw on. Search results only include records we have checked and published, so coverage can be smaller than the original dataset.

QS regional rankings & institutional profiles

Asia, Europe, Arab Region, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America & Caribbean

Publisher positions, ties, edition, source URL; selected institutional facts and ranking history

Published by QS · rankings are free to view on the QS website · 85 sourced positions across five partial regional editions · 2026 and 2027

This is a partial sourced selection, not complete regional coverage. A published band cannot be converted to an exact rank; underlying profile statistics may have no reporting year.

Research Organization Registry

Global institution identities

Names, aliases, country, official website, persistent ROR identifiers

CC0 · public JSON / CSV releases · ROR 2.13 · 22 September 2026 release installed; earlier registry evidence preserved

Research organizations are not a complete list of universities. Every proposed identity is reviewed before publication.

College Scorecard

United States

Admissions, undergraduate enrollment, completion, residency tuition, net price, Pell share, SAT sections and ACT percentiles

US Department of Education · free to explore on the College Scorecard website · 15 dictionary-backed fields supported in bounded refresh feeds; imports stay private pending review. No new API observations claimed.

Exact reporting-year cohorts and IPEDS identifiers are required. Missing and suppressed values stay absent. Percentiles are not entry minima; net price and Pell share do not establish international eligibility.

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System

United States

Institution directory, admissions, enrollment, tuition, financial aid, completions and graduation

NCES · downloadable survey files and dictionaries · Admissions and programme / enrolment releases retained; 44,600 verified SFA 2023–2024 observations across 2,469 institutions published with exact survey populations and source evidence

Public-use SFA data retains survey populations, years and reporting flags. Fourteen ambiguous UNITIDs were held from matching. Recipient averages are reported outcomes, not promised awards or international eligibility.

OpenAlex

Global research activity

Institution IDs, annual works, citations, and research topics

CC0 · official API and snapshot · 1,119 dated research observations across 12 institutions added; existing research identities and paper coverage on 847 profiles retained

Institution attribution and counts can change as the open index is updated. Observation years remain visible.

Wikidata & Wikimedia Commons

Global enrichment and reusable media

QIDs, official links, coordinates, images, creators, and licenses

Wikidata CC0 · each Commons file has its own license · 616 enriched profiles; media attribution retained per file

Media stays in review until attribution, creator, license, and reuse status are confirmed.

Carnegie Classifications

United States

2025 institutional, access and earnings, and research classifications

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 · 2025 public file installed in the local review report

Normalized records are held from public app distribution while commercial reuse remains unresolved.

CWTS Leiden Ranking Open Edition

Global research indicators

Scientific impact: fractional core publications P, top-5% publication counts P(top 5%), and their share PP(top 5%)

CC0 · Open Edition results · 7,158 sourced impact observations across 2,386 institutions · 2025 Open Edition, 2020–2023 publication cohort

All-sciences, fractional, core-publication scope; citations observed through 2024. These are impact indicators, not international-collaboration statistics or an overall university rank. Indicator sort order never becomes a numeric quality rank.

Discover Uni

United Kingdom providers and courses

UKPRN, course identity, entry, continuation, outcomes, and student experience

CC BY 4.0 · official archive currently returned HTTP 403 · Adapter contract ready; no records installed

Access was blocked from this environment, so CollegeStat does not claim Discover Uni coverage.
