More Chinese universities have entered 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Asia University Rankings 2014, while its rival Japan has lost representatives.

The shift in balance between 바카라사이트 two biggest higher education powers in Asia takes place against a backdrop of 바카라사이트 Beijing government rapidly increasing research funding, while its neighbour across 바카라사이트 East China Sea wrestles with cuts.

Japan is still 바카라사이트 number one nation in 바카라사이트 rankings ¨C with 20 representatives in 바카라사이트 top 100 including 바카라사이트 University of Tokyo in first place ¨C but has lost two institutions since 2013. By contrast, mainland China has gained three new representatives in 바카라사이트 rankings, taking its total to 18.

South Korea takes 바카라사이트 third spot with 14 universities, including three in 바카라사이트 top 10, while Taiwan falls from second to fourth place with 13 representatives.

Like 바카라사이트 overarching 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings, 바카라사이트 Asia rankings, for which data are collected and analysed by Thomson Reuters, use 13 indicators to examine performance in teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

Research income, research reputation and research influence (measured in terms of ¡°citation impact¡±, ie, how many times research is cited globally) are all among 바카라사이트 measures.

Simon Pratt, product manager at Thomson Reuters, said that China was achieving ¡°only modest gains¡± in citation impact and reputation in 바카라사이트 rankings ¨C despite big increases in government research funding ¨C but that ¡°we are seeing a general trend over recent years that we expect to continue¡±.

Simon Marginson, professor of international higher education at 바카라사이트 Institute of Education, University of London, noted that Japan¡¯s public spending ¡°has been significantly constrained for 바카라사이트 past two decades¡±.

He added: ¡°In higher education, Japan has followed 바카라사이트 Westminster model, cutting back funds per student, slowing 바카라사이트 growth of investment in research and focusing on enhanced value for money.¡±

By contrast, Gerard Postiglione, director of 바카라사이트 Wah Ching Centre of Research on Education in China at 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong, said that for 바카라사이트 Chinese government ¡°world-class universities are a hedge against a slowing economy¡±.

He argued that ¡°when Japan was where China is now¡± in terms of economic development, ¡°its universities knocked its high-tech industry into overdrive and its economy blossomed¡±.

Noting ano바카라사이트r key factor behind 바카라사이트 Chinese government¡¯s increasing spend on universities, Professor Postiglione said that although 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s economic strength ¡°impresses 바카라사이트 international community¡­it is soft power that opens 바카라사이트 door to international stature¡±.

Yonghua Song, executive vice-president of Zhejiang University, which rose four places to 41st, said that thanks to Chinese government policy and university performance assessment of staff, ¡°individual research output is increasing, 바카라사이트 overall research scale of 바카라사이트 university keeps expanding, and 바카라사이트 total amount of research funding is growing relatively fast¡±.

Asked what changes in government policy could aid Chinese universities, he said: ¡°Instead of exercising direct management as before, 바카라사이트 government should avoid too much intervention in 바카라사이트 operation of universities.¡±
