Global Research University Profiles (GRUP): Interactive Ranking & Benchmarking Platform Yan WU Assistant Professor Center for World-Class Universities Graduate School of Education Shanghai Jiao Tong University 16 May 2013 Outline Introduction Global Research University Profiles (GRUP) GRUP Platform Introduction Global competition is increasingly fierce • Attract international students • Recruit world-class scholars • Seek funding & donations globally • Carry out international collaborations • …. • Build global reputation 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? • …… 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-) • …… 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 • …… Global Research University Profiles (GRUP) Aims of GRUP Build a comprehensive database covering 1200 research universities Provide interactive instruments for benchmarking and ranking research universities GRUP Data Coverage The information collected by the GRUP database covers the following aspects of individual universities: • Academic Staff • Students • Finance • Research Performance • University Governance and Management GRUP Indicators - Students S01: Total Number of Students S02: Number of Undergraduate Students S03: Number of Master’s Students S04: Number of Doctoral Students S05: Percentage of Graduate Students S06: Percentage of International Students S07: Percentage of International Undergraduate Students S08: Percentage of International Graduate Students S09: Percentage of International Master’s Students S10: Percentage of International Doctoral Students S11: Number of Doctoral Degree Awarded S12: Employment Rate of Bachelor Degree Recipients S13: Employment Rate of Master’s Degree Recipients S14: Employment Rate of Doctoral Degree Recipients GRUP Indicators - Faculty F01: Total Number of Academic Staff F02: Number of Academic Staff (Teaching Related) F03: Number of Academic Staff (Research Only) F04: Percentage of Academic Staff (Teaching Related) with a Doctoral Degree F05: Percentage of Academic Staff (Research Only) with a Doctoral Degree F06: Percentage of International Academic Staff (Teaching Related) F07: Percentage of International Academic Staff (Research Only) F08: Ratio of Academic Staff (Teaching Related) to Students F09: Ratio of Academic Staff to Students GRUP Indicators - Resource R01: Total Amount of Institutional Income R02: Institutional Income per Student R03: Institutional Income from Public Sectors R04: Percentage of Institutional Income from Public Sectors R05: Institutional Income from Student Tuition and Fees R06: Institutional Income from Student Tuition and Fees per Student R07: Institutional Income from Donations and Gifts R08: Institutional Income from Institution’s Investments R09: Total Amount of Research Income R10: Research Income per Academic Staff R11: Research Income from Public Sectors R12: Percentage of Research Income from Public Sectors R13: Research Income from Industry GRUP Indicators - ARWU Ranking A01: Number of Alumni of Nobel Laureates and Fields Medalists A02: Number of Staff of Nobel Laureates and Fields Medalists A03: Number of Highly Cited Researchers A04: Number of Nature and Science Papers A05: Number of SCIE and SSCI Papers GRUP Data Sources Survey of Universities National Statistical Agencies International Third Parties For example, ARWU Ranking GRUP Survey – Online Collecting basic facts of 1200 research universities about academic staff, students and finance Number of participating institutions • 2011: 231 (20% participation rate) • 2012: 425 (35% participation rate) - 61% of Top 100 of ARWU - 50% of Top 500 of ARWU Data from National Statistical Agencies 14 countries were identified to have relatively mature institution statistics: • 64% of institutions in ARWU database • 70% of Top 500 of ARWU GRUP Platform Interactive Benchmarking & Ranking Platform The GRUP Platform aims to enable comprehensive comparisons of global research universities. So far, the interactive ranking platform can be used to: • Benchmark institutions with their peers • Estimate ranking positions in ARWU • Rank institutions by indicators GRUP Platform Benchmarking Purposes • Provide comprehensive and quantitative descriptions of world leading research universities • Help universities to identify their advantages and disadvantages as compared to those of their concern Features • More than 400 universities • Up to 40 indicators • Different rank ranges and different regions/countries Benchmarking Benchmarking Benchmarking Ranking Estimation Purpose • Provide current ranking performance in ARWU based on actual data • Forecast future ranking positions in ARWU based on expected data Features • More than 1200 universities • Up to 40 indicators Ranking Estimation Ranking Estimation Ranking by Indicators Purposes • Help universities to position themselves at a global level from various angles and perspectives based on particular indicators Features • More than 1200 universities • Up to 40 indicators Ranking by Indicators Ranking by Indicators Future Efforts Improve the coverage of GRUP Survey • 2013: 600+ • 2015: 900+ - 80% of ARWU Top 100 - 2/3 of ARWU Top 500 Increase the number of indicators For example, indicators on university governance GRUP Platform: http://www.shanghairanking.com/grup/index.html E-mail: [email protected] Thank You!
