Indicators used to assess institutions include their teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international engagement. However, they have different weights to reflect the development priorities of universities in developing countries.
The performance indicators are grouped into five areas: Teaching (learning environment, infrastructure available to support teachers and students); Research (research reputation as rated by researchers, research productivity, managed research funds); Citation (level of research influence); International work (number of teachers, international students and research collaborations with foreign campuses); as well as knowledge transfer for industry. Of these five fields teaching and research are given the same and highest scores, namely 30% each.
This year, Elsevier supplied the data to assess the level of influence of the research undertaken. A total of 86 million citations of 13.6 million journal articles, seminar proceedings, books, during the last five years are assessed. Overall data is obtained from more than 24,000 academic journals indexed by Elsevier Scopus.
An assessment is also carried out based on the university’s abilities to assist business/industry world in innovation, discovery and consulting. These are analyzed from the amount of income received by universities for conducting research from the business world compared to the number of teaching staff it has.
