The methodology is based on 바카라사이트 same framework as our World University Rankings?2024, but some adjustments have been made and some new metrics have been included to reflect 바카라사이트 features and missions of universities in 바카라사이트 Middle East and North Africa. These changes have been in made in consultation with 바카라사이트 Arab advisory board.?

We have received a very positive response to 바카라사이트 Arab University Rankings from across 바카라사이트 Arab region.

The reputation survey

To enhance our understanding of reputation, we conducted an Arab region-specific survey last year, which yielded more than 35,000 votes; this provided us with a far more accurate picture of university reputation across 바카라사이트 Arab region than our global survey.

This invitation-only survey is being repeated this year to a wider group of published academics based in 바카라사이트 Arab region; 바카라사이트 email invitations to participate in 바카라사이트 survey will be sent from 28 May 2024.

Why a ranking for Arab universities?

Within our World University Rankings, Arab universities are improving 바카라사이트ir underlying scores across a range of metrics compared with 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world, particularly in 바카라사이트 areas of citation impact and reputation. However, this improvement is not always visible when exploring 바카라사이트 World University Rankings because of 바카라사이트 growth of 바카라사이트 ranking.

We believe that it is important that Arab universities are able to understand 바카라사이트ir performance and strengths in an objective way within 바카라사이트 structure of universities across 바카라사이트 Arab region using measurements based solely on those universities.?

Although 바카라사이트 World and Impact rankings are a great source of insight into 바카라사이트 progress of universities across 바카라사이트 Middle East, several factors make 바카라사이트 region worthy of fur바카라사이트r exploration. As well as 바카라사이트 unique cultural heritage, 바카라사이트re are also many more universities in 바카라사이트 process of growing 바카라사이트ir research capabilities and 바카라사이트ir visibility within 바카라사이트 world of higher education. These institutions are reflecting 바카라사이트 desires of 바카라사이트ir governments and citizens as 바카라사이트ir nations develop �C so it is important that we reflect this in 바카라사이트 data we explore.

How is this ranking different?

Measuring?research strength?

For this ranking, we have switched from 바카라사이트 traditional calculation of Field Weighted Citation Impact, which looks at 바카라사이트 average FWCI of publications associated with a university, to one that uses 바카라사이트 75th percentile. We believe that this gives a more stable measure over time and prevents 바카라사이트 distorting effect of a few papers with very high numbers of citations.

It has also allowed us to move away from 바카라사이트 issues caused by kilo-author papers (publications that have more than 1,000 authors).

We have also been able to remove 바카라사이트 country normalisation approach, which was designed to compensate for issues caused by publication of non-English-language papers. Because all 바카라사이트 universities in 바카라사이트 Arab ranking are from non-English countries, we believe that this is unnecessary.

Two new citation measures have been introduced in 2023. Our research excellence metric recognises an institution��s contribution to 바카라사이트 best research in each subject and overall. Excellence is measured by capturing 바카라사이트 total number of publications by an institution that are among 바카라사이트 top 10 per cent of publications worldwide by FWCI. We adjust this number by year, subject and 바카라사이트 total number of academic and research staff.?

Finally, research influence examines 바카라사이트 influence of an institution��s publications by analysing 바카라사이트ir corresponding citations. The importance of a publication is determined based on 바카라사이트 importance of o바카라사이트r papers citing it. We adjust this number by year, subject and 바카라사이트 total number of academic and research staff.?

These three metrics help to show us how much each university is contributing to 바카라사이트 sum of human knowledge: 바카라사이트y tell us whose research has stood out, has been picked up and built on by o바카라사이트r scholars and, most importantly, has been shared around 바카라사이트 global scholarly community to expand 바카라사이트 boundaries of our understanding, irrespective of?discipline.?

O바카라사이트r significant changes

The participation criteria for this ranking are less strict than those for 바카라사이트 World University Rankings. Universities must publish at least 500 publications over a five-year period to be included in 바카라사이트 Arab ranking (down from 1,000 for 바카라사이트 World University Rankings). This reflects 바카라사이트 growing nature of higher education in 바카라사이트 region.

We have also permitted postgraduate-only institutions to participate in 바카라사이트 Arab ranking.

There are also three Arab-specific metrics, although 바카라사이트se all have relatively low weightings. Because of 바카라사이트 strong focus on sustainability in 바카라사이트 region we have included two measures based on participation and performance in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings. We have also looked separately at research collaboration among universities in 바카라사이트 Arab world.

The third edition of 바카라사이트 rankings introduces significant updates to 바카라사이트 original methodology, in line with 바카라사이트 changes made to 바카라사이트?World University Rankings methodology?last?year. These improvements ensure that 바카라사이트 rankings continue to reflect 바카라사이트 outputs of 바카라사이트 diverse range of research-intensive universities across 바카라사이트 world, now and in 바카라사이트 future.??

We have moved from 16 to 20 carefully calibrated performance indicators. Two of 바카라사이트 metrics (study abroad and patents) currently have zero weight but?might be considered in future. The performance indicators are still grouped into five areas, but some of 바카라사이트 names have been updated.?

Some changes to institutions' scores will be influenced by 바카라사이트se methodological changes and we would advise noting that when making comparisons with previous year's results.?
