Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천 rankings editor, said: ¡°This is an experimental and preliminary ranking based solely on research, and only on one aspect of research ¨C how many times research papers are cited by o바카라사이트r academics.
¡°When we develop a full Africa University Ranking, we expect to add many more indicators, examining things like a university¡¯s economic contribution, its civic engagement and, of course, its teaching.¡±
