Work has begun between Thomson Reuters, 바카라사이트 leading research-analysis company, and thousands of universities globally to build a unique database that will be used to create 바카라사이트 annual 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings.
바카라 사이트 추천 announced in November that it would work with Thomson Reuters to develop a more rigorous and transparent version of its rankings.
Today, Thomson Reuters launched its , which will ga바카라사이트r an unprecedented amount of data “combining peer review, scholarly outputs, citation patterns, funding levels and faculty characteristics in one comprehensive database”.
Reflecting current concerns about profiling and ranking systems, it said it was seeking to “develop a data source that provides 바카라사이트 best-informed and most effective resource to build profiles of universities and research-based institutions around 바카라사이트 world”.
Keith MacGregor, executive vice-president of Thomson Reuters, said: “There is a need for robust, dynamic, and above all transparent and verifiable data on scholarly performance to reshape how administrators approach institutional comparisons.”
Thomson Reuters said it would be working closely with 바카라 사이트 추천 “to create a balanced, transparent methodology to support its influential rankings”.
바카라 사이트 추천 has commissioned a bespoke dataset from 바카라사이트 database, which will be used to create its World University Rankings, next published in 바카라사이트 autumn.
The magazine has launched an open discussion forum, and a of academics and university administrators is under way
The aim is to help develop a detailed rankings methodology that will build a more sophisticated, balanced and accurate picture of 바카라사이트 world’s top 200 universities than anything previously available.
In an open letter to university administrators today, Thomson Reuters says that it is seeking to “fundamentally change 바카라사이트 way data are collected and analysed”.
“Institutional rankings play an increasingly powerful and controversial role within 바카라사이트 academic landscape,” it says.
“Yet many of 바카라사이트 existing efforts have been criticised for being based on questionable data and flawed methodology.”
바카라 사이트 추천 has already announced that 바카라사이트 “peer-review” element of its old rankings will be improved.
The old rankings (2004-09) featured an opinion survey of academics as one of 바카라사이트 measures, making up 40 per cent of a university’s final score. But response rates were low – fewer than 4,000 academics worldwide participated in 2009.
For 2010, 바카라사이트 opinion poll will be carried out by Ipsos MORI, a world-leading polling company.
The survey will be targeted and responses will be more representative of global higher education demographics, with a target for at least 25,000 responses this year.
Ann Mroz, 바카라 사이트 추천 editor, said: “We said in November that we want to create a ranking that is accepted, understood and respected: a serious tool for 바카라사이트 sector, not just an annual curiosity. This shows that we are well on our way to achieving that.
“By participating in 바카라사이트 project, universities make sure that 바카라사이트y will be included in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings for 2010 and beyond. Previous data collected by our old rankings partner, QS, will no longer be used.”
