  3. Introduction

  4. Global competition is increasingly fierce • Attract international students • Recruit world-class scholars • Seek funding & donations globally • Carry out international collaborations • …. • Build global reputation

  5. Needs for globally comparable information • What are the strength and weakness for universities in different countries? • What is the gap/difference between my university and world- leading research universities？ • If we aim for top 500/100 in the world, what should we do? • ……

  6. Global Rankings are Helpful • Academic Ranking of World Universities (2003-) • THE World University Rankings (2004-2009, 2010-) • QS World University Rankings (2004- ) • Webmetrics Ranking (2004-) • Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities (2007-) • University Ranking By Academic Performance (2010-) • ……

  7. Limitations of Global Rankings • Most rankings only publish league tables • Only a limited number of attributes can be observed • Other limitations: e.g. Non-performance indicators are neglected • ……
