University and university rankings are ranked higher education institutions that have been ranked based on various combinations of factors. Ratings are most often done by magazines, newspapers, websites, government, or academia. In addition to the rankings of all agencies, organizations conduct certain program, departmental, and school ranking. Various ratings take into account the combination of funding and endowment measures, research excellence and/or influence, specialization expertise, acceptance, student choice, reward score, internationalization, graduate work, industrial relations, historical reputation and other criteria. Most ratings are evaluated on institutional output by research. Some ratings evaluate institutions within a country, while others rate institutions worldwide. Subjects have generated much debate about usability and ranking accuracy. The widespread diversity in the appraisal methodology and the accompanying criticisms each show a lack of consensus in the field. Furthermore, it seems possible to play the ranking system through excessive self-censorship. The range of academic rankings provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth view of different academic institutions on composite ability in the academic world. While the UN advocates a beneficial role that higher education can be a common good of social influences and educational skills to complement all participating people, yet the college rank is a transparent tool for fair evaluation for the public.

Global rating
See Regional and national rankings for university rankings within a particular region. Some organizations produce university rankings worldwide, including the following.
The three most powerful and established global rankings are those produced by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy (Times of The World Academic Rankings, ARWU), Times Higher Education (THE) and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). All of this, along with other global rankings, primarily measures the performance of university research rather than their teaching. They have been criticized for being "largely based on what is measurable rather than what should be relevant and important to the university", and the validity of globally available data has been questioned.
While some ratings try to measure teaching using metrics such as staff and student ratios, the Higher Education Policy Institute has shown that the metrics used are more closely related to research than the quality of teaching, for example "Staff to student ratios are almost immediate measures of research activities", and " The proportion of PhD students is also to a large extent indicative of research activities ". Inside Higher Ed also stated "these criteria do not really measure teaching, and none approach the impact quality assessment". Many ratings are also considered to contain a bias towards the natural sciences and, because of the source of bibilometry used, against publication in English-language journals. Some ratings, including ARWU, have also failed to make corrections for institutional measures, so large institutions are rated much higher than small institutions of the same quality of research. Other compilers, such as Scimago and AS News and World Report, use a mix of metrics that depend on size and size-independent.
Some authors, especially QS, THE and U.S. News, using a reputation survey. This validity has been criticized: "Most experts are critical of reliability only asking a rather non-random faculty group and others involved with academic companies for their opinions"; "Methodologically [an international survey on reputation] is not perfect, they effectively only measure research performance and they reduce results that benefit a small number of institutions."
However, despite criticism, much attention is given to the global rankings, especially ARWU, QS, and THE. Some countries, including Denmark and the Netherlands, use university rankings as part of a point-based immigration program, while others, such as Russia, automatically recognize degrees from higher-ranked universities. The Indian University Grant Commission requires foreign partners from Indian universities to rank in the top 500 THE or ARWU rankings, while the Boundless Science program of Brazil selects international partner agencies using THE and QS ratings.
Academic Rankings of the World University
The World University's Academic Ranking (ARWU) composed initially by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and now managed by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, has been providing the university's annual global rank since 2003, making it the earliest of its kind. The ARWU rating has been cited by The Economist magazine. It has been praised for being "consistent and transparent" based on an article. French, Norwegian and Danish education ministers traveled to China to discuss and find ways to improve their ratings. ARWU does not rely on surveys and school deliveries. Among other criteria, ARWU includes the number of articles published by Nature or Science and the number of Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medalists (math). Harvard has been ranked for years. One of the main criticisms of the ARWU methodology is that it is biased towards the natural sciences and English science journals over other subjects. In addition, ARWU is known for "relying solely on research indicators", and "a highly weighted ranking of institutions whose faculty or alumni have won the Nobel Prize": it does not measure "the quality of teaching or the quality of the humanities."
World University Ranking Center
The Saudi-based consultancy organization has published the annual rankings of world universities since 2012. The ratings are based on the quality of education, alumni work, faculty quality, number of publications, number of publications in high-quality journals, citations, scientific impact and number of patents.
Eduniversal
The rating of this university is owned by a French consulting firm and a rating agency SMBG . It ranks Masters and MBAs in 9 geographic areas (5 continents).
Factor-G
G-factors rank the presence of universities and web colleges by counting the number of links only from other university websites, using Google search engine data. The G-factor is an indicator of the popularity or importance of each university's website from the combined perspective of other agencies. It claims to be an objective peer review of the university through its website - in terms of social network theory, G-factor measures the centrality of each university's website on the university's web site network.
Global University Rankings
The Global University rating measures more than 400 universities using Raters, an autonomous, non-commercial, Russian rating agency backed by the Russian academic community. This methodology collects universities from ARWU, HEEACT, Times-QS, and Webometrics, as well as a group of experts established by officials and project managers to determine the scale of assessment for indicators in seven areas. It considers academic performance, research performance, faculty skills, resource availability, socially significant activities of graduates, international activities, and international opinion. Each expert independently evaluates this performance indicator for a university candidate. Ratings are the average of expert evaluations. The ratings raised questions when placing Russia's Moscow State University in fifth place, ahead of Harvard and Cambridge.
HEEACT - Scientific Working Paper
The Scientific Performance Rating for World Universities was produced until 2012 by the Taiwan Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Board (HEEACT). The indicators are designed to measure the research performance of long-term and short-term research universities.
The project uses bibliometrics to analyze and rank the performance of the top 500 universities and the top 300 universities in six fields. HEEACT further provides subject ratings in science and technology. It also ranks the top 300 universities in ten areas of science and technology. The rating includes eight indicators. They are: articles published more than 11 years earlier; quotes of articles, "current" articles, current quotes, average quotes, "H-index", number of "highly quoted papers" and high-impact journal articles. They represent three performance criteria of scientific papers: research productivity, research impact, and research excellence.
The 2007 ranking methodology is thought to have favored universities with medical schools, and in response, HEEACT added assessment criteria. The six field-based ratings are based on WOS subject categorization, including Agriculture & amp; Environmental Science (AGE), Clinical Medicine (MED), Engineering, Computer & amp; Technology (ENG), Life Sciences (LIFE), Natural Sciences (SCI) and Social Sciences (SOC). Ten subjects include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geosciences, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering (including Energy & Fuel), Materials Science, and Civil Engineering (including Environmental Engineering). The rating was renamed to Taiwan National University Ranking in 2012.
Human Resources & amp; Labor Reviews
Human Resources & amp; Labor Review (HRLR) published an index of human competitiveness & amp; analysis annually by Asia First Media, formerly ChaseCareer Network (ChaseCareer.Net). This system is based on Human Resources & amp; Labor Review Indexes (HRI and LRI), which measure the performance of university graduates over 300.
In 2004, some educational institutions voiced concerns in some events with respect to the accuracy and effectiveness of agencies or rank lists. The HRLR rating was pioneered at the end of 2005 in a working group in response to these concerns. The team was founded in January 2007, in London, and began collecting and processing data, producing the first list in 2007-2008. This ranking concept was later adopted for Alumni scores on ARWU and many other ratings.
The innovative new ranking of HRLR methods sparked strong interest from many agencies and inspired several ratings and other ratings based on professional, alumni, executive, competitiveness, human capital-oriented aspects. Nevertheless, HRLR remains a leader in university rankings with an innovative and comprehensive approach, and not just relying on those aspects.
High-Impact University: Research Performance Index
The University's High Impact Research Performance Index (RPI) is an Australian 2010 initiative that studies the performance of university research. The pilot project involves trials of more than 1,000 universities or institutions and 5,000 constituent faculties (in various disciplines) around the world. Top 500 results for universities and faculty reported on the project's website. This project promotes simplicity, transparency, and fairness. This assessment analyzes the research performance as measured by publications and citations. Publications and citation data are taken from Scopus. The project uses standard bibliometric indicators, ie 10-year g-index and h-index. The RPI both weighed the contributions of five faculties. The five scores of the faculty are normalized to place them on a general scale. Normalized scores then averaged to reach the final RPI.
Leiden rating
The Center for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University maintains the European and world rankings of the top 500 universities accordingly including the number and impact of publications indexed by the Web of Science per year. The ranking compares research institutions with regard to account differences in language, discipline and institutional size. Some ranking lists are released in accordance with various bibliometric norms and impact indicators, including number of publications, citations per publication, and average field impact per publication.
Nature Index
The Nature Index tracks the affiliations of high-quality scientific articles published in 68 scientific journals independently selected by the scientific community because most scientist journals want to publish their best research. Updated monthly, the Nature Index presents a research report of approximately 9,000 parent institutions around the world presenting an output statistics page for each institution along with information about agencies working in collaboration with agencies in Index articles publications. Each of the approximately 60,000 articles in the Index has a special article page with social and mainstream media coverage tracked by Altmetric. External tables from institutions can be generated quickly on a global, regional or country basis and with a wide subject area as well as with the number of articles and number of fractional articles. Comparing with other science metrics (eg, Impact Factor, h-index), the Nature Index is a leading scientific journal ranking with a global reputation on native sciences and biological sciences. Tracing the flow of scientific knowledge into economic and social benefits is a growing priority for government and research funding agencies. The Nature Index Innovation examines the relationship between high-quality research and commercialization of new products and services. In particular, it highlights the use of references to the academic literature in patents to show the concrete relationship between discovery and its economic potential.
Newsweek
In August 2006, American magazine Newsweek published the Top 100 Global Universities ranking, using criteria selected from the ARWU and Times Higher Education-QS ratings, with additional criteria for volume quantities in the library. This is part of a special issue including an article from Tony Blair, who was then prime minister of England, but has not been repeated. This is considered openness and diversity as well as differences in research. The rating has been resumed since the merger with The Daily Beast, and currently uses data from the World Rank Higher Education, the Webometrics world rank of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃÆ'ficas public research outlet in Spain, and the Shanghai Rank Consultant to compile the results.
The World University Professional Ranking
Unlike the academic rankings, the World University's Professional Rankings established in 2007 by ÃÆ'â € ° Ã, ÃÆ'â € ° Ã, cà © rà © à © rÃÆ'  © rieure des mine de Paris measure the efficiency of each university in producing leading business professionals. The main compilation criterion is the number of Chief Executive Officers (or equivalents) among Fortune Global 500. This rating has been criticized for placing five French universities into the top 20.
QS World University Ranking
QS World University Rankings is the world's top university rankings produced by Quacquarelli Symonds which is published annually since 2004. Together with the World University's Academic Rankings and World University Rankings, QS World University Rankings is widely recognized and cited as one of the top 3 university rankings. According to Alexa data, they are ranked the most widely viewed global universities in the world. In 2016 they rank 916 universities, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and Harvard University above. This is the first time since the third inaugural in 2004 the top spot is held by US institutions.
QS rankings should not be equated with World University Rankings of Higher Education. From 2004 to 2009 the QS ranking was published in collaboration with Times Higher Education and is known as the World QS Higher Education University Rank. In 2010 the QS assumed the only published publication produced with this methodology when Times Higher Education was separated from QS to create a new ranking methodology in partnership with Thomson Reuters. QS rankings are published in the United States by US. News & amp; World Report as "World's Best University." However, by 2014, US. News & amp; World Report launched their own international university ranking entitled "The Best Global University". The prime rank was issued in October 2014.
The QS rankings use the peer review data collected (in 2016) of 74,651 scholars and academics and 37,781 recruiters. Both of these indicators are worth 40 percent and 10 percent of the possible university grades. The QS ranking also incorporates quotes per faculty member data from Scopus, faculty/student ratios, and international staff as well as number of students. The quotes and the size of the faculty/student are worth 20 percent of the total possible score of the institution and data of international staff and students five percent each. QS has published an online material on its methodology.
QS publishes QS World University Rankings 2016 online on September 5, 2016. The ratings also appear in book form, and through media partners including The Guardian, US News & World Report and The Chosun Ilbo .
QS has been added to its World University Ranking, starting in 2009 with the Asian University Rank. The QS University of Latin America Rankings and QS World University Rankings by Subject were published for the first time in 2011, as well as faculty rankings worldwide, Top 50 under 50 and 50 Next under 50 rank and postgraduate job rankings. QS now also publishes regional ratings for the Arab Region, Emerging Europe and Central Asia, and five BRICS countries.
The subject rank is intended to address the most frequent criticism of all university ranking systems of the world, that they contain too little material about a particular subject, something potential applicants would like to see. These ratings are based on excerpts, peer academic reviews and recruiter reviews, with weights for each depending on the culture and practice of the subject. They are published in five groups; technique; biomedical; natural Science; the social sciences; and arts and humanities, and covers 42 subjects by 2016.
QS Asia University Rankings
In 2009, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) launched the department of Q S Asian University Rankings in partnership with The Chosun Ilbo newspaper in Korea. They rank top 350 Asian universities and the ratings have now emerged eight times. They released an independent ranking list each time, different from QS World University rankings. For three consecutive years until the 2016/17 edition, the ratings are achieved by the National University of Singapore.
These ratings use some of the same criteria as World University Rankings but they use other measures, such as incoming and outgoing exchange students as well. Due to their different criteria and weights, QS World university rankings and QS Asia University rankings released in the same academic year differ. QS publishes global university rankings by different majors in different countries, which have special reference values ​​for international students, such as Statistics & amp; Operational Research Program in China.
QS Latin America University Rankings
QS Latin American University Rankings was launched in 2011. They use academic opinions (30 percent), employers' opinions (20 percent), publications per faculty member, quotes per paper, academic staff with PhD ratios, faculty/student and web visibility ( each 10 percent) as a measure. This criterion was developed in consultation with experts in Latin America, and web visibility data comes from Webometrics. The 2016/17 edition ranked the top 300 university rankings in the region, and shows that the University of SÃÆ'Â o o Paulo in Brazil is the region's top institution.
Reuters 100 World's Best Innovative University
Ranking is empirical and develops a methodology that uses 10 different metrics. The criteria focus on academic papers, which demonstrate basic research undertaken at the university, and patent applications, which indicate the agency's interest in protecting and commercializing its inventions. Compiled by Intellectual Property & amp; Thomson Reuters's science business, this list uses exclusive data and analysis tools. This process begins by identifying 500 academic and governmental organizations that publish a large number of articles in scientific journals, such as those indexed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science Core Collection database. The cross list is referenced against the number of patents submitted by each organization during the same time period in the Derwent World Patents Index and Derwent Innovations Index. Patent equivalent, quoting patents and quoting articles entered. The timeframe allows for articles and patent activities to receive citations, thereby contributing to that part of the methodology. The list was reduced to only those institutions that filed 70 or more patents, most of them universities. Each university candidate is then evaluated using a variety of indicators including how often a university application is granted; how many patents are filed to the global patent office and local authorities; and how often the university's patents are cited by others. Universities are also evaluated in terms of how often their research papers are cited by patents; and the percentage of articles featuring industry co-authors. It has an Asia-Pacific edition featuring the top 75 agencies across the region and the 25 most innovative government agencies in the world.
Round University Ranking
The University of Rotation rating, or abbreviated RUR rating is ranked the world's universities, assesses the effectiveness of 750 of the world's leading universities based on 20 indicators distributed among 4 major dimension areas: teaching, research, international diversity, financial sustainability. This rating has international coverage and is intended to be the university's preferred tool for key education stakeholders: applicants, students, representatives of the academic community, university management. RUR Rankings Publisher is an independent RUR Rankings Agency, geographically located in Moscow, Russia. RUR aims to provide transparency, a comprehensive analytic system for benchmarking and university evaluation across borders to the widest possible audience: students, analysts, decision makers in the field of higher education both in individual institutions and at the national level.
Institutional Rankings SCImago
The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) since 2009 has published international ratings from research institutes around the world, SIR World Report. The SIR World Report is the work of the SCImago Research Group, a Spanish-based research organization composed of members from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the University of Granada, Charles III University of Madrid, the University of AlcalÃÆ'¡, the University of Extremadura and other educational institutions in Spain.
This rating measures areas such as: research results, international collaborations, normalized impacts and publication rates.
Higher World University Rankings
From 2004 to 2009 Times Higher Education (THE), a British publication, publishes the annual QS World University Rankings of University that deals with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). THE publishes a table of the top 200 universities and QS ranks about 500 online, in book form, and through media partners. On October 30, 2009, THE severed ties with QS and joined Thomson Reuters to provide a new set of university rankings, called Times Higher Education World University Rankings. The 2015/16 edition of Times Higher Education World University Rankings ranks the world's best 800 universities, while 2016/17 installments will rank 980 over the world.
On June 3, 2010, Times Higher Education revealed the methodology they proposed to use when ranking the new world universities. The new methodology includes 13 separate performance indicators, an improvement of the six steps used between 2004 and 2009. After further consultation, the criteria are grouped under five general indicators overall to produce a final ranking. THE first ranked using a new methodology on September 16, 2010, a month earlier than in previous years. THE also started the rank of THE 100 Under 50 and Alma Mater Index.
The Globe and Mail in 2010 describes the Times Higher Education World University Rankings as "arguably the most influential." Research published by professor at the University of Michigan in 2011 shows that the initial ranking of THES disproportionately influences in building the world university research institutional order.
The Times Reputation of World Education Rankings
The rating was published for the first time in March 2011. The 2016 ranking is based on a survey of 10,323 academics from 133 countries. They put Harvard University as the owner of the most powerful university brand in the world, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. The survey was conducted in eight languages ​​by Ipsos Media CT for Times Higher Education rank data partner Thomson Reuters and asked experienced academics to highlight what they believe to be the strongest university for teaching and research in their own field. The top six universities in the rankings for 2014 - Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford, UC Berkeley - are found as "head and shoulders above the others," and are touted as a globally recognized "super brand" group. "
U-Multirank
U-Multirank, a European Commission supporting the feasibility study, was undertaken to contribute to the European Commission's goal of improving transparency on the mission and performance of higher education institutions and research institutions. At a press conference in Brussels on 13 May 2011, U-Multirank was officially launched by Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Higher Education and Culture who said: U-Multirank "will be useful for every participating higher education institution, as planning and mapping exercise By giving students of clearer information to guide their study options, this is a new tool for more quality, relevance and transparency in European higher education. "U-Multirank made a new breakthrough by producing university rankings of multi-dimensional rankings on a much broader range of factors than existing international rankings. The idea is to avoid simple league tables that can produce misleading comparisons between institutions of very different types or mask significant differences in quality between courses at the same university.
U-Multirank assesses the overall performance of the university but also places them in the chosen academic field: in 2014 its fields are business studies, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and physics; by 2015, psychology, computer science and medicine will be added. Universities are tested against up to 30 separate indicators and are assessed in five performance groups, from 'A' (very good) to 'E' (weak). The results show that while more than 95% of institutions achieve an 'A' score of at least one size, only 12% have more than 10 top values. Of the 850 universities in the rankings, 62% are from Europe, 17% from North America, 14% from Asia and 7% from Oceania, Latin America and Africa. U-Multirank receives EUR2 million in EU funding from the former Lifelong Learning Program (now Erasmus) for 2013-2015, with a possible two-year funding in 2015-2017. The goal is for independent organizations to manage ratings on sustainable business models thereafter.
UniRanks "Ranking Rank"
World University University rankings collect the results of five global rankings, combining them to form a single ranking. It uses the following rankings and weights: World University Rankings 22.5%, QS World University Ranking 22.5%, Best Global Universities 22.5% US News, 22.5% ARWU, Top 10 Universities Top 10 Universities. The first edition of UniRanks was launched in 2017.
University Rankings by Academic Performance
University Rankings by Academic Performance, abbreviated as URAP, was developed at the Institute of Informatics of the Middle East Technical University. Since 2010, it has published annual national and global university rankings for top 2000 institutions. The measurement of scientometrics from URAP is based on data obtained from the Institute for Scientific Information through Web of Science and inCites. For global rankings, URAP uses research performance indicators including number of articles, citations, total documents, total impact articles, number of citation impacts, and international collaborations. In addition to global rankings, URAP publishes regional ratings for universities in Turkey using additional indicators such as the number of students and faculty members obtained from the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center ÃÆ' â € "SYM.
AS. News & amp; Global Universities Ranking Best World Rankings
The US. News & amp; World Report 's Best Global Universities ranking was first launched on October 28, 2014, and it is based on data and metrics provided by Thomson Reuters, and thus methodologically different from the criteria traditionally used by US. News US. News also publishes a specific global ranking per region and subject to the subject of this methodology.
This year's US National University's ranking is generated to provide insight into how universities compare globally. As more and more students plan to enroll in universities outside their own countries, the Best Global Universities rank - which focuses specifically on school academic research and reputation as a whole and not on their separate undergraduate or postgraduate programs - can help these students accurately compare institutions around the world.
The Best Global Universities rank also provides insight into how US universities - which the US News has been ranked separately for over 30 years - stand globally. All universities can now compare themselves to schools in their own countries and territories, becoming more visible on the world stage and finding top schools in other countries to consider collaborating.
The Best Global Universities rankings cover 750 top institutions spread across 57 countries - up from the top 500 universities in 49 countries ranked last year. The first step in generating this ranking, which is supported by Thomson Reuters InCitesTM's analytical research solution, involves the creation of a collection of 1,000 universities used to rank 750 schools. Compared to US News National University Rank. The Global University rankings are focused on the strength of research and faculty resources for students, while the National Ranking is only focused on undergraduate studies. Therefore, for postgraduate study and international students, the Best Global Universities Rank is a much better reference than the National University Rank.
Inside Higher Ed notes that US. News is entering an area of ​​international college and university rankings that are "dominated by three major global university rankings": World University Rankings of Education Times, Academic Ranking of World University , and QS World University Rankings . US. News data strategist Robert Morse stated, "We are well known in this field for doing academic rankings, so we think it's a natural extension of our other rankings."
Morse points out that US. News as "the first American publisher to enter the global ranking space", is awarded Times Higher Education and QS is English, while the Academic University of the World Rank is Chinese.
Webometrics
The World Webometrics rating is produced by Cybermetrics Lab (CCHS), a unit of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the main public research body in Spain. It offers information on more than 12,000 universities according to their web presence (scientific content assessment, visibility and university impact on the web). Ratings are updated every January and July.
Webometrics Ranking or Web Ranking is built from a database of over 20,000 higher education institutions. The top 12,000 universities are shown in the top rankings and more are included in the regional listings.
The ranking begins in 2004 and is based on a composite indicator that includes the volume of Web content as well as the visibility and impact of web publishing according to the number of external links they receive. Various scientific activities appear exclusively on academic websites and are usually ignored by bibliometric indicators.
Webometric indicators measure the institutional commitment to Web publishing. Webometric results show high correlation with other ratings. However, North American universities are relatively common in the top 200, while small and medium biomedical institutions and universities of Germany, France, Italy and Japan are less common in the upper ranks. Possible reasons include publishing through independent research boards (CNRS, Max Planck, CNR) or large amounts of non-English web content, which are less likely to be linked.
Wuhan University
The Research Center for the Evaluation of Chinese Science at the rank of Wuhan University is based on the Essential Science Indicator (ESI), which provides data on the number of journal article publications and frequency of citations in more than 11,000 journals worldwide in 22 research areas.

Regional and national ranking
Regional and national rankings are conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania.
Asia
The University of Asia QS rankings use some of the same data as QS World University Rankings along with other materials, such as the number of exchange students who attend or travel from each university. List of top ranked 350 Asian universities.
China
The university rankings in China are ordered by different standards and made by various organizations, including:
- Wu Shulian, published on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Management Sciences
- Netbig, a high-education internet information company
- CUAA, by Airuishen (a company) on behalf of the University of China Alumni Association, etc.
India
A National Institutional Ranking Framework, initiated by India's Ministry of Human Resources Development, to rank all higher education institutions in India. Magazines like Youth Incorporated, India Today , Outlook , Mint , The Week , Data Request and Electronics For You make an annual ranking for key disciplines. Japanese
Most ranking systems in Japan rank universities by their entrance exam difficulties, called "Hensachi". One example of the rankings is the university Going broke - University that disappeared by Kiyoshi Shimano. Organizations that use other methods for university rankings in Japan include the Nikkei Business Publication, which annually releases the Japan University brand rankings each November. Toyo Keizai, who regularly released the university rank of "Truly Powerful University" once a year, is another example. Japan's leading preparatory school, Kawaijuku, also released the Top 30 Ranking of the Top Universities in Natural Science and Technology for Global Project, MEXT, in 2001.
Pakistan
Pakistan Higher Education Commission each year ranked domestic universities.
Philippines
The academic rankings in the Philippines are conducted by the Commission on Professional Regulations and the Commission on Higher Education, based on the average graduation in board tests.
South Korea
The Korean Council for University Education, established in 2009, evaluates universities in South Korea.
Europe
European Union
The European Commission draws up a list of 22 universities in the European Union with the highest scientific impact. This ranking is structured as part of the Third European Report on Science & amp; Technology Indicators, prepared by the Directorate General of Science and Research of the European Commission in 2003 (updated 2004). Only explicitly consider the top EU institutions, but comparisons with the rest of the world are provided in the full report. The report says, "University College London came out as the top in both publications (number of scientific publications produced by the university) and quotes (how many times the scientific publication was cited by other researchers)" but the table lists the university's top score as "London Univ" implying that the author calculates the scientific output of the entire University of London, rather than his constituent college.
In this ranking, the top two universities of the EU are Cambridge and Oxford, as in Jiao Tong and Times ranking. This rating emphasizes the scientific quality of the institution, as opposed to the size or presumption of prestige. Thus, smaller technical universities, such as Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Technical University of Munich (Germany) are ranked third and fourth, behind Cambridge, and followed by the University of Edinburgh. The report provides no direct comparison between the EU and universities around the world, although it calculates scores of scientific impact, as measured against the world average.
In December 2008, the European Commission issued a call for a tender, inviting bidders to design and test a new multi-dimensional university ranking system with global reach. The first results of the imagined pilot project were promised for the first half of 2011.
Another approach to classifying European research areas is offered by the 'European Research Rank'. This ranking is based on publicly available data from the EC project and funding CORDIS database to estimate the funding performance and network of European research institutes.
Austria
Some Austrian universities, including all Austrian University of Applied Sciences, take part in the CHE University Rankings.

United Kingdom
There are three major university rankings in the UK published by commercial companies: The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, The Complete University Guide and Guardian University Guide. Since 2008, Times Higher Education has compiled a 'Table Table' that combines the results of 3 national league tables. For 2017, the top 5 universities are the University of Cambridge, Oxford University, St Andrews University, and Imperial College London and Durham University are ranked fourth.
The Research Excellence Framework is the successor of the Research Assessment Exercise in 2014. It is used by the UK government to evaluate the quality of research universities in the UK and determine the distribution of future research funding. In 2014, the top five universities for research strength compiled by Research Fortnight are the University of Oxford, University College London, the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester.
The Research Assessment Exercises (RAE) is an evaluation of the quality of British government research at British Universities. Each subject, called a rating unit, is ranked by a peer review panel. Ranking is used in government funding allocations. The final assessment was made in 2008. RAE provides quality ratings for research in all disciplines. The panel uses a standard scale for each shipment. Ratings range from 1 to 5, according to the quantity of work assessed to achieve national or international excellence levels. Participating institutions receive grants from one of four funding agencies of higher education in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The top three universities in RAE 2008 drills are the London School of Economics, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Oxford.
The Institute of Quality Assurance for Higher Education (QAA) assesses undergraduate teaching. QAA is an independent body established by higher education institutions in the UK in 1997. QAA is under contract to the Board of Higher Education Funding for the UK to assess the quality for British universities. This replaces the Quality of Teaching Assessment (TQAs) aimed at assessing the administrative, policy and procedural frameworks in which teaching takes place and does not directly assess the quality of teaching. This inspection-based system is superseded by an information supply system, including a national student survey. QAA publishes scores that have been used by the league table industry. The first Teaching Lesson will be published in 2017; this is a scoring system (providing gold, silver or bronze ratings for higher education providers) rather than such ratings.
North America
Canada
Maclean , a Canadian news magazine, publishes the annual ranking of the University in Canada, called the Maclean University Rank. Ranking criteria include student body characteristics, classes, faculty, finances, libraries, and reputation. Ranking is divided into three categories: schools that focus on undergraduate studies with little to no graduate programs, schools that have extensive undergraduate studies and a wide selection of graduate and school programs that have a professional medical program and elective postgraduate programs.
The University of Calgary produced a formal study that examined the ranking methodology, illuminated the factors that ranked them and criticized certain aspects of the methodology. The University of Alberta, the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba have expressed displeasure over the ranking system.
The important difference between the ratings in the United States and the Maclean rating, however, is that Maclean does not belong to a privately funded university. However, most Canadian agencies, including the most famous, are publicly funded.
Started in September 2006, more than 20 universities in Canada, including some of the most prestigious and largest universities such as the University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, Concordia University, McMaster University and Dalhousie University, together refuse to participate. University of Alberta President Indira Samarasekera wrote that Maclean initially filed the demand "Freedom of Information" but it was "too late" for the university to respond. Samarasekera further stated, "Most of the [university] has posted the data online, and we've directed staff Maclean to our website. In the case where the magazine staff can not find the data on our Web site, they choose to use the previous year's data. "

Rank "Objective" College
By 2015, a new website starts publishing what is contained in The Objective College Ranking. Ranking is based on objectively measurable data about US colleges from the National Center for Education Statistics - weighting factors for different college metrics are given on site for transparency.

Although the site is clearly satirical in nature, it makes an in-depth point on the ultimate subjectivity of all the college ranking methods.

Uncover preference ratings
Avery et al. pioneered the use of modeling options for college ranking. Their methodology used statistical analysis of a decision of 3,240 students enrolled in college in 1999. MyChances.net, now called Parchment, adopted a similar approach beginning in 2009, stating that its method is based on this approach. This study analyzes the students received at several universities. The college they attended became the winners, and the others became the losers. The Elo rating system is used to assign points based on each win or loss, and colleges are ranked according to their Elo points. The beneficial consequence of using Elo points is that they can be used to estimate frequencies when students go into two schools, will choose one over the other. The latest preferences rank puts Stanford in the top spot, followed by MIT, Harvard, and Princeton.
Social Mobility Index (SMI) rank
The SMI rating is a collaborative publication of CollegeNet and PayScale. Ranking aims to provide a measure of the extent to which universities provide upward economic mobility for those present. The ratings are made in response to findings in Science magazine which shows that among developed countries, the United States now provides the smallest opportunities and economic mobility for its citizens. Rating was also made to combat rising tuition fees, many of which are attributed to the efforts of several universities to improve their own fame and fortunes in a way that enhances their ratings in media magazines that emphasize these steps. According to the SMI, the top five universities are Montana Tech, Rowan University, Florida A & amp; M, Cal Poly Pomona, and Cal State Northridge.
