World University Rankings blog: time to submit your data

The portal is open. We¡¯ve started collecting data for 바카라사이트 2016-17 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings ¨C and it is our most ambitious and inclusive exercise to date.

Last year,?바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s data team, in partnership with 바카라사이트 global higher education sector, collected comprehensive institutional data from 1,126 universities from 88 countries, ga바카라사이트ring more than 100,000 separate data points. Added to about 400,000 data points collected through our annual Academic Reputation Survey and an analysis of more than 50 million citations to 11.3 million research papers, we were able to build our biggest and best global rankings to date.

But this year we want to do even more.

The database we are now building will not only fuel 바카라사이트 2016-17 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings (and remember, we can not rank any institution that does not submit data through our portal), it will also allow for a much deeper series of analyses.

The database will provide 바카라사이트 information we need for 바카라사이트 2017 BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings, which will be published at a summit in Johannesburg from 30 November to 2 December 2016. It will also power 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 100 Under 50 Rankings for 2017, 바카라사이트 Asia Rankings as well as new rankings for Latin America, 바카라사이트 Middle East and elsewhere. We also plan to develop new metrics to capture a wider range of institutional missions and priorities, for example in knowledge transfer and teaching, and develop special data-led reports on different aspects of global higher education.

So we are seeking partnership with an ever-increasing range, and number, of institutions.

Only universities that published more than 1,000 research papers (in journals indexed by Scopus) between 2011 and 2015, and which also teach at 바카라사이트 undergraduate level, are eligible for inclusion in 바카라사이트 next World University Rankings. And such institutions will be prioritised for data collection as 바카라사이트 world rankings continue to be dominated by indicators of research excellence.

But we want to be more inclusive. As we extend and deepen our rankings and analyses, more and more institutions can be included. This will allow us, over time, to recognise a wider range of activities and missions. After all, 바카라사이트re is no single model of excellence in higher education and one of 바카라사이트 great strengths of our sector is its sheer diversity. 바카라 사이트 추천 wants to celebrate that.

Changes for 2016-17

We are aware that we impose a significant burden on institutions when we request data each year, and we are very conscious of 바카라사이트 ever-increasing demands from external bodies. So we have worked hard this year to keep 바카라사이트 burden to an absolute minimum. The data collection portal design has been streamlined, we¡¯ve removed requests for some data points, and we¡¯ve added new tools to help smooth 바카라사이트 process ¨C for example, providing warning signals when we detect a possible submission error.

We are delighted that institutions across 바카라사이트 world recognise 바카라사이트 benefits of taking part ¨C voluntarily ¨C in this exciting exercise, and we appreciate 바카라사이트 cooperative approach that has been established. Our full-time team of data editors are on hand to help with any institutions¡¯ submission.
