This document discusses various international academic ranking systems and provides details about some of the major ones. It begins by explaining that one of Aalborg University's goals is to have leading research, and that benchmarking against internationally recognized ranking measures helps ensure research is conducted at a globally leading level. It then discusses why rankings have become popular and some of their benefits. The document outlines four main categories of rankings: university rankings, global institutional rankings, sub-institutional rankings, and rankings that focus on specific aspects. It provides examples of prominent rankings like the Shanghai Jiao Tong University rankings and Times Higher Education rankings. The document also describes the methodology and indicators used by these systems.
Increasing university publication and citation rateNader Ale Ebrahim
Despite the vital role of paper publication and citation in higher education institutions (HEIs), literature on publication exercises is relatively scarce. There are a number of factors which influence the rate of university publications and citations. Accordingly, with a focus on policy perspectives, this paper discusses publication exercises by addressing the factors that can increase or decrease the rate of publication and citation in HEIs. The investigated zones are divided into two macro and micro levels, in which macro level deals with global policy and micro level is related to local and university policies. The effective factors and their relevant criteria are traced in all the aforementioned policies.
Bibliometrics in practice: how to generate reports for institutions.Torres Salinas
In an institutional context and at a professional level, one of our main tasks is to carry out bibliometric reports; actually these studies are essential because they are used by managers to make decisions (distribution of funds, recruitment of personnel, planning of research lines, …). In this talk we will explain how to make a global bibliometric report of an institution, we use as a case study the University of Granada. We focus in these topics. 1) General considerations: target, selection of indicators, objetives, …) 2) what sources of information can be used. 3) How to contextualize and interpret the indicators. 4) How to compare the results with other institutions (Benchmarking). 5) How to make graphs and tables. 6) dissemination of results and data

'En busca de la calidad y la excelencia en la Educación Superior: ¿obsesionan los rankings?' Así tituló su conferencia la presidenta de la European Higher Education Society (EAIR), Ellen Hazelkorn. Fue en la Fundación Ramón Areces (C/ Vitruvio, 5, en Madrid) el 24 de junio de 2015, en colaboración con la Fundación Europea Sociedad y Educación.
Prof. Salvacion M. Arlante, university librarian of the University of the Philippines Diliman, presented the challenges for librarians in the acquisitions of quality academic journals during C&E's Academic Publishing Forum on January 26, 2011 at C&E Information and Resource Center, Quezon City.
Higher education is increasingly becoming a global business. The main factor to distinguish between different universities is university ranking. There are numerous university ranking systems that include a number of citations as one of the measuring indicators. The citations may come from high quality research and publications. However, publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is only halfway towards receiving citation in the future. The rest of the journey is dependent on disseminating the publications via proper utilization of the “Research Tools”. Proper tools allow the researchers to increase the research impact and citations for their publications. This workshop series will provide various techniques on how one can increase the visibility and enhance the impact of one’s research work.
Bibliometric solutions for identifying potential collaboratorsTorres Salinas
EC3metrics participa en la “European Summer School for Scientometrics” (ESSS) 2017 que tiene lugar en Berlín (Alemania) del 17 al 22 de septiembre de 2017. Este evento se viene celebrando anualmente desde 2010 y está organizado por la University of Vienna, el German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW alemán), la Katholieke Universiteit Leuven y EC3metrics, que desde 2017 es miembro del comité organizador. ESSS es una iniciativa que se creó en 2010 en respuesta a una falta de formación en cienciometría, -especialmente en los países de habla alemana- y por el aumento de esta demanda por parte de responsables políticos, directores, gestores de investigación, científicos, especialistas en información y bibliotecarios. Así, siguiendo el modelo de eventos anteriores, este año el tema del curso será “Identificación de focos de investigación. Perfiles institucionales y nacionales y colaboraciones estratégicas” (Identification of Research focuses. National & Institutional Profiles and Strategic Partnerships).
Daniel Torres-Salinas y Nicolás Robinson-García son miembros del comité organizador en representación de EC3metrics. Asimismo, participan como docentes. El próximo jueves 21 de septiembre, Nicolás Robinson-García y Daniel Torres-Salinas presentarán el seminario “Bibliometric solutions for identifying potential collaborators”.
Abstract: Bibliometric indicators and methodologies are commonly used for benchmarking institutions and individuals, and analyzing their research performance. Their potential for identifying partners and promoting collaboration is many times overseen by research institutions. In this presentation we will discuss different indicators and methodologies that can be used to spot institutions, research groups and individuals working on similar research fronts. By using different visualization techniques, we will provide examples on how to present these data in an appealing way which can inform university and research managers. These types of analyses are useful when searching for potential partners or designing strategies to establish scientific collaboration networks.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Aalborg Universitets forskning skal være førende
Èt af Aalborg Universitets mål er at forskningen er blandt verdens førende.
Benchmarking gennem internationalt anerkendte målinger af universitetets forskningsmæssige
performance er med til at sikre, at forskningen foregår på et internationalt førende niveau.
Formålet er at tiltrække de bedste forskere og forskerstuderende fra både Danmark og udlandet og
fastholde Aalborg Universitet som en attraktiv samarbejdspartner for både forskning og erhvervsliv.
Rankingsystemer er populære og kommetfor at blive
Flere og flere forskningsinstitutioner benytter rankingsystemer i deres benchmarking for at kunne
sammenligne sig med konkurrerende institutioner. Nedenstående tilskynder rankinglisternes popularitet:
Rankingsystemer er nyttige i forbindelse med reformering af højere uddannelsessystemer.
Rankingsystemer er med til at sikre akademisk kvalitet på det voksende internationale
uddannelsesmarked.
Rankingsystemer er brugbare i forbindelse med rekruttering.
Rankingsystemer er anvendelige i forbindelse med udvikling af internationale
markedsføringsstrategier.
Rankingsystemer er brugbare som læringssystemer med henblik på udvikling af
rankingmetodologier.
Rankingsystemer er fordelagtige ved promovering af kulturer med åbenhed og
gennemsigtighed.
Rankingsystemer er operationelle som bevillingsindikatorer.
3. 3
Rankingsystemer
Rankingsystemerne kan inddeles i fire kategorier:
1. Universitetsrankingsystemer
Universitetsrankingsystemer er institutionelle
eller sub-institutionelle.
2. Globale institutionelle rankingsystemer
Eksempler på de mest refererende er ”Academic Ranking of World Universities” udgivet af
Shanghai Jiao Tong University*, samt ”World University Rankings” udgivet af Times Higher
Education Supplement (THES)*.
3. Sub-institutionelle rankingsystemer
Sub-institutionelle rankingsystemer sammenligner specifikke universitetsenheder med lignende
fra andre institutioner.
Disse rankingsystemer er ofte nationale og beskæftiger sig med professionelle skoler såsom
business, jura og medicin.
4. Rankingsystemer
Fokuserer på specifikke aspekter af universitetsaktiviteter.
Desuden udgiver flere rankingsystemer målinger på Internettet og sammenligner institutioners aktiviteter
og synlighed, eksempelvis ”Webometrics Ranking of World Universities”.
Typologi
Nedenstående definitioner beskriver rankingsystemernes typologi:
Ranking typer
Ensartede rankingsystemer
Disciplinbaserede rankingsystemer
Andre (rankingsystemer, som er svære at karaktergive)
Ranking struktur
Numerisk rankingsystemer
Grupperede rankingsystemer
Top-niveau rankingsystemer
Ranking hyppighed
Årlig, toårig, treårig osv.
Ranking sortering
Universiteter kan klassificeres efter år, geografi, finansiering (offentlig /privat) osv.
Datakilde
Rankingsystemerne bruger flere forskellige kilder til datafangst. Eksempler på datakilder er ”Web
of Science” udgivet af Thomson ISI, samt ”Scopus” udgivet af Elsevier.

Oversigtover internationale akademiskerankingsystemer
Rankingsystemer har i mange år været udført af nationale forskningspolitiske og
universitetskoordinerende centre i Europa og USA, samt EU og OECD. Men i dag udgiver både
kommercielle forlag, aviser, nyhedsmedier og konsulent huse rankingsystemer, ligesom mange
universiteterne også selv foretager detaljerede performance vurderinger.

As the indicators for the sciences are slightly different than those for the socialsciences, the
document w illgive you a clearer idea of our methodology, but does not address the specifics for
the current round. The research-based indicatorsof publications and citations w illstill be included,
but w illbe complemented w ith additional international-oriented indicators (student and staff
mobility in ERASMUS programmes, for example).

Webometrics*
Information
This ranking orders the universities according to four main w eb characteristics fromtheir
institutional w eb domain. The volume of contents is measured by the number of pages freely
accessible, their visibility by the number of incoming links. The number of rich files is used as an
indicator because rich files are a format to spread scientific and technicaldata and results. And
total number of document indexed in Google Scholar is an indicator of the scientific publications
on the Web. Each w eb domain is ranked by the linear aggregation of these indicators, building
the w ebometrics ranking (WR)
WR=4(visibility rank)+2(site rank)+1(Rich file rank)+1(Google Scholar rank)
Data extraction was made in February 2008 fromYahoo! Search. It allow s severalsearch
operators in a single search string and the w eb coverage is rather wide. The follow ing queries
w ere used to obtain links from the university domain (A) to the university domain (B) and vice
versa:
site: {university domain (A)} linkdomain:{university domain (B)} and to obtain the total number of
pages indexed in the university domain (A):
site: {university domain (A)}

Google Page Rank (home page)
(PageRank is a link analy sis algorithm used by the Google Internet search engine that
assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hy perlinked set of documents, such
as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relativ e importance within
the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal
quotations and ref erences.)

Yahoo Inbound Links(link popularity)
(An inbound link is a hy perlink transiting domains. Links are inbound f rom the
perspectiv e of the link target, and conv ersely , outbound f rom the perspectiv e of the
originator. Inbound links were originally important (prior to the emergence of search
engines) as a primary means of web nav igation; today their signif icance lies in search
engine optimization.)

Google PageRank*
Information
Google har sin helt egen karakterskala, når søgemaskinen vurderer, hvor vigtig en hjemmeside
er. Karakterskalaen går fra pagerank0-10.
Værdien udregnes maskinelt efter en hemmelig og sindrig algoritme. Man kan således ikke købe
sig til en højere PageRank.
Baggrunden for tildelingen af pageranker uhyre kompleks, men det er blandt andet vigtigt hvor
mange indadgående links, der er, og hvorvidt de kommer fra sider, der har en tematisk
sammenhæng med ens egen.
For at bevare den gode placering på karakterskalaen er det naturligvis vigtigt, at vi alle på AAU
skaber godt og opdateret indhold, som andre har lyst til at linke til.
Pagerank evaluere på to ting: Hvor mange links, der er til en hjemmeside fra andre hjemmesider
samt kvaliteten af de hjemmesider, som linker
