## Usage

1. Add the ranking links in `./scraper/scraper/settings.py`.
2. Run the commands below, with the appropriate filenames and arguments.

```
$ cd top-universities/scraper
$ scrapy crawl qs -O data_scraped/qs_cs_2023.jsonl -a subject=cs -a year=2023
$ scrapy crawl the -O data_scraped/the_cs_2023.jsonl -a subject=cs -a year=2023
$ scrapy crawl arwu -O data_scraped/arwu_cs_2023.jsonl -a subject=cs -a year=2023
```

3. Open the Jupyter Notebook, edit the settings and run it.
4. Update `normalize.py` as needed to fix the university names.
