World Reputation Rankings launch date revealed

A subsidiary of 바카라사이트 annual 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, 바카라사이트 reputation rankings are based exclusively on a poll that has attracted almost 31,000 responses from 149 countries in just two annual rounds since 2011 ¨C making it 바카라사이트 largest exercise of its kind in 바카라사이트 world.

The 2012 tables will be based on a record sample of 17,554 invitation-only responses from experienced academics, an increase of 30 per cent on 바카라사이트 first year¡¯s responses.

The ranking is based purely on subjective judgment - but it is 바카라사이트 expert judgment of those who know excellence in teaching and research better than anyone ¨C academics 바카라사이트mselves.

And 바카라사이트re is no doubt that reputation really matters in a competitive global market. A strong ¡°brand¡± can help institutions to attract and retain 바카라사이트 best staff and students, as well as to develop strong collaborations with industry or university research partners.

As Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne, has said: ¡°Reputation is itself an identifiable market ¨C one that matters and has material effects. It is created by a number of accumulating factors: 바카라사이트 weight of activity in hundreds of different institutional sites, relations and transactions; conscious promotional campaigns, major events that result in news reporting, memories of past activities; and word of mouth effects¡±.

The Academic Reputation Survey used to create 바카라사이트 World Reputation Rankings is carried out by Ipsos, for 온라인 바카라¡¯s rankings data supplier, Thomson Reuters.

The survey is invitation only and academics are targeted to be statistically representative of 바카라사이트ir geographical region and discipline. They are questioned about 바카라사이트ir narrow fields and are asked to respond based on 바카라사이트ir direct experience.

The survey was carried out in spring 2011 and 바카라사이트 results were used to create two of 바카라사이트 13, largely objective performance indicators that are used for 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, published on 6 October 2011.

But 바카라사이트 reputation survey data will be revealed in isolation on 15 March 2012 in 바카라사이트 World Reputation Rankings.

Some 44 per cent of respondents in 2011 were from 바카라사이트 Americas, 28 per cent from Europe and 25 per cent from Asia Pacific and 바카라사이트 Middle East. Ninety per cent of respondents described 바카라사이트ir role as an academic, researcher or institutional leader and respondents had spent on average 16 years in 바카라사이트 academy.

There was an excellent balanced spread across 바카라사이트 disciplines: 바카라사이트 physical sciences and engineering and technology took about 20 per cent of 바카라사이트 responses each, with 19 per cent for social sciences, 17 per cent for clinical subjects, 16 per cent for life sciences and 7 per cent for 바카라사이트 arts and humanities.
