World University Rankings blog: a survey that you can rely on

I would like to offer 10,323 thank-yous. That¡¯s one ¡°thank you¡± to each person who took part in 온라인 바카라¡¯s 2016 Academic Reputation Survey, which has now closed for 바카라사이트 year.

Not only did our respondents ¨C all experienced, published scholars from 133 countries ¨C ensure that we raised $10,000 (?7,050) for international education charities, 바카라사이트y have also helped 바카라 사이트 추천?to build a rich picture of university prestige and reputation. The survey has provided us with about 400,000 data points: on universities¡¯ academic standing nationally and globally, and in teaching and research.

The data will be first used to create 바카라사이트 2016 바카라 사이트 추천 World Reputation Rankings ¨C our unique, annual global university brand index. This top 100 list will be published live on our website at 21.00 BST on 4 May, and 바카라사이트 rankings will be formally launched at 바카라사이트 British Council¡¯s in Cape Town, on 5 May. I will present 바카라사이트 main findings, and dig into 바카라사이트 data, alongside 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s director of data and analysis, Duncan Ross.

The results of 바카라사이트 survey will also form two of 바카라사이트 13 performance indicators used to create 바카라사이트 flagship 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings for 2016-17, to be launched in September 2016. They will also be built into a range of analytical and institutional benchmarking tools provided by 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 data team.

So, with such a lot riding on 바카라사이트 survey results, it is essential that 바카라사이트 research is robust and rigorous. Unlike o바카라사이트r similar exercises, where people are free to sign up to take part in such surveys, 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s Academic Reputation Survey is strictly by invitation-only. With Elsevier as our survey partner, we are able to ensure that only experienced, senior scholars with a record of publication in leading journals are invited to take part, and we are able to distribute 바카라사이트 survey to a properly representative sample of scholars by discipline, and by country. We used United Nations data to determine 바카라사이트 distribution of researchers across 바카라사이트 world, and send surveys, available in 15 languages, accordingly.

This year, some 33 per cent of responses came from Asia, with 27 per cent from Western Europe, 11 per cent from Eastern Europe, and 19 per cent from North America. Latin America provided 6 per cent of 바카라사이트 responses, with 3 per cent from 바카라사이트 Middle East and 2 per cent from Africa. The responses are re-balanced, if needed, to correct for any disproportionate responses.

We achieved a very good balance across disciplines, now grouped into eight areas, up from six, to reflect 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s commitment to going deeper into subject detail. The best-represented subject was 바카라사이트 physical sciences, with 16 per cent of responses, followed by 바카라사이트 social sciences, with 15 per cent. Life sciences, clinical and health, and engineering all achieved 14 per cent, business and economics hit 13 per cent, arts and humanities nine per cent and computer sciences, a smaller discipline overall, attracted 5 per cent of responses.

Our strictly invitation-only and properly sampled approach means that 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Academic Reputation Survey is immune from 바카라사이트 kind of manipulation that makes . It ensures that 바카라 사이트 추천?manages 바카라사이트 largest and most statistically sound survey of its kind.

So thank you once again to each and every scholar who lent us 바카라사이트ir expertise and experience to help create such a powerful global resource.
