However, the indicators presented and the resulting conclusions are the sole responsibility of the U-Ranking team. The added value6 of the indicators is presented on a scale from 0 (the minimum value obtained by a university of the system) to 100 (the value given to the university that scores the most).

In the case of the remaining four indicators, the value of the university for all fields of study is taken into account. This happens, for example, in the case of the average impact of the index of publications and their percentage in the first quartile.

Main results
U-RANKING
El tercer puesto corresponde a la primera universidad privada de la lista, la Universidad de Navarra, junto a cuatro públicas: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidad de Cantabria, Universitat de Barcelona y Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Pablo de Olavide, la Universidad de Deusto y la Universitat Ramon Llull, y la Universidade Santiago de Compostela, que ocupa ya la quinta posición.
U-RANKING VOLUME
Finally, Universidad de Zaragoza and UNED complete the 10 universities at the top of the ranking. The ranking by volume shows the smaller size of the private universities compared to the public ones.
U-RANKING VOLUME VS
These top thirteen universities are the same ones that are at the top of the 2019 edition. Thus, Table 9 shows that all private universities are located in the bottom half of the list.
RANKING PERFORMANCE
U-RANKING VS. SHANGHAI RANKING
The universities in area IV, on the contrary, are relatively better placed in the Shanghai ranking. Note: The 13 Spanish universities in the Top 500 of the Shanghai Ranking 2019 and the first 19 and 18 universities in U-Ranking Volume and U-Ranking are included.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH OTHER INTERNATIONAL RANKINGS
Nine other universities are in the first quartile in two of the rankings: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, in Shanghai and U-Ranking;. Therefore, it can be said that, of the thirteen Spanish universities included in the Top 500 of the Shanghai ranking, ten are in our first quartile due to their highest volume of results according to the volume of the U-ranking, and six among our most productive. according to U-Ranking of performance.
RESEARCH VS. TEACHING
The latter, together with the Universitat de Lleida and the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, would be included in the group at the top of the ranking if the weight of research and innovation was 44%. Effects of the change in the weight given to research in the U-Ranking of top-ranked universities.

REGIONAL UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS
However, not all the increases or decreases in performance with respect to the national average necessarily mean a change in the position of the ranking. A positive reading of the results is that, with respect to 2019, they show a convergence between regional systems, i.e. the differences in performance between regions are reduced.

Several reasons can be given for the good performance of private universities in the areas of study on which they mainly concentrate their degree offerings. Overall, many of the patterns identified in the results by study area also hold true for the global rankings.
Conclusions
Five of the eight universities with a high level of teaching effectiveness are private. Thus, the average level of teaching results of private universities could be lower if U-Ranking ever covers all private universities.
