  According to Times Higher Education (THE), the research influence indicator looks at universities’ role in spreading new knowledge and ideas. They examine research influence by capturing the average number of times a university’s published work is cited by scholars globally.  Citations (research influence) are assigned 30% out of the 100% earnable points for a university to be ranked among the top universities in the world - The Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE-WUR). The citations help to show how much each university is contributing to the sum of human knowledge: they tell us whose research has stood out, has been picked up and built on by other scholars, and, most importantly, has been shared around the global scholarly community to expand the boundaries of our understanding, irrespective of discipline. In 2016-17, THE-WUR designed a method for reincorporating papers. Working with Elsevier, THE-WUR developed a fractional counting approach that ensures that all

  I had a lengthy conversation with someone today after a long while, and he was trying to understand my thoughts around “karma”, perhaps if I believe it does exist - of course, 100% and that’s why I treat people respectfully and nicely because you earn good karma, and on the other hand, you know what happens when you do the opposite. Karma means “like causes produce like effects”, that is, a good deed will lead to a future beneficial effect, while a bad deed will lead to a future harmful effect.

Karma equals “cause and effect” or causality, but also note “correlation does not equal causation”. "Correlation is not causation" means that just because two things correlate does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. Correlations between two things can
