To be considered “world-class” implies being the best among the best worldwide and one way through which this status is currently accorded or determined is through the global university ranking (GUR), of which there are different models. Emerging in the early 2000s, various GURs have gained significant influence not only on HEI administrators, students, leaders, and faculty but also on governments and policymakers. As the GURs evolved, they have become associated with the increasing internationalization and marketization of higher education and a growing global market for HEIs. References to GURs have also become strongly present in university strategic plans, marketing materials, and national policy reforms. Volumes of studies have been conducted on the merits, strengths and weaknesses, as well as the impacts of GURs worldwide. This subject matter is comprehensively explored in this chapter.}, year = {2025}, pages = {251-280}, orcid-numbers = {Okpala, Peterchris/0000-0002-4784-0627} } @mastersthesis{MTMT:34720703, title = {Engineering lmpact: Analyzing the Scientific and Technological Outcomes of Collaborative Research between Universities and Firms}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34720703}, author = {Kappa, Viktor Ström}, unique-id = {34720703}, year = {2024} } @mastersthesis{MTMT:35414793, title = {DIAGNÓSTICO E CERTIFICAÇÃO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE DO CAMPUS I DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DA PARAÍBA POR MÉTRICAS GLOBAIS.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35414793}, author = {MARINA, LIMA FIGUEIRÊDO}, unique-id = {35414793}, year = {2024} } @{MTMT:35747803, title = {Understanding World University Ranking}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35747803}, author = {Subbarayalu, Arun Vijay}, booktitle = {Navigating Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Global Higher Education}, doi = {10.4018/979-8-3693-6915-9.ch025}, unique-id = {35747803}, abstract = {World university rankings are critical for prospective students, faculty members, and policymakers evaluating HEIs based on various ranking indicators. The author adopted a mixed-methods study design where a narrative review was carried out to describe three ranking methodologies (i.e., THE, QS, and ARWU), including HEIs' challenges in the ranking process. The identified challenges include limited research funding, scarcity of top-tier faculty, balancing quantity & quality of research publications, publishing in high-impact journals, building international research networks, enhancing academic and employer reputations, maintaining optimal student-faculty ratios, and acquiring necessary data for rankings. In addition, an autoethnographic approach was adopted to identify strategies to improve universities' ranking performance, with a focus on enhancing research outputs, expanding international research networks, improving teaching and learning environments, strengthening reputation and addressing operational challenges centered around managing ranking data.}, year = {2024}, pages = {581-604}, orcid-numbers = {Subbarayalu, Arun Vijay/0000-0002-5758-118X} } @article{MTMT:34777564, title = {University Rankings: Proposal for a Future Research Agenda through a Systematic Literature Review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34777564}, author = {Teixeira, Tatiane and Picinin, Claudia Tania}, doi = {10.3390/su16073043}, journal-iso = {SUSTAINABILITY-BASEL}, journal = {SUSTAINABILITY}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {34777564}, abstract = {The purpose of this study is to develop a proposal for a future research agenda on university rankings, based on a systematic review of the existing literature, ith emphasis on the following criteria: objectives, countries, types, variables, methodologies, and future lines of research. The analysis of university rankings revealed a need to review evaluation methodologies and reflect on their consequences for educational policies and the strategic management of higher education institutions. The PRISMA method was used to map the literature available on the Scopus database. The findings were systematized to promote a broad understanding by the reader: (i) drawing up a table that condenses the results of this review; (ii) categorizing the objectives identified in the articles; (iii) surveying the number of studies by country; (iv) categorizing the methodologies employed; (v) developing a figure of the categories of variables associated with rankings; and (vi) compiling a table that brings together the recommendations for future research suggested by scholars in the field. As a result, this research not only goes into great detail on issues related to university rankings, but also establishes a path for future research, constituting a robust foundation for educational managers, policymakers, and academics interested in the subject.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2071-1050}, pages = {3043}, orcid-numbers = {Teixeira, Tatiane/0000-0002-9012-5012; Picinin, Claudia Tania/0000-0003-4844-3516} }
