564-536: A famously problematic factor to measure. University standing here is of special interest to potential students, and acknowledging this was the impetus behind the inaugural QS Graduate Employability Rankings, published in November 2015. However, these rankings were subsequently discontinued in 2021, with its data rolled into the QS World University Rankings methodology. The final 10% of a university's score

658-570: A feedback loop. Concerns also exist regarding the global consistency and integrity of the data used to generate the QS rankings. The development and production of the rankings is overseen by QS Senior Vice President Ben Sowter, who in 2016 was ranked 40th in Wonkhe's Higher Education Power List, a list of what the organisation believed to be the 50 most influential figures in British higher education value. QS

752-464: A five-year period is divided by the number of academics in a university to yield the score for this measure, which accounts for 20% of a university's score in the rankings. QS has explained that it uses this approach, rather than the citations per paper preferred for in other rankings systems because it reduces the impact of biomedical science on the overall picture – biomedicine has a ferocious " publish or perish " culture. Instead, QS attempts to measure

The total number of citations for

1786-580: Is based mainly on universities where the graduates or staff are Nobel Laureates or have received the Fields Medal , as well as on how frequently the university's researchers are cited by others. In 2015, MSU was in 86th place, making it in the top 100. Round University Ranking (RUR) is also a ranking for universities, but was not mentioned in President Putin's statement. According to Thomson Reuters media company, ten Russian universities were placed in

1974-544: Is derived from measures intended to capture their internationalization: half from their percentage of international students, and the other half from their percentage of international staff. This is of interest partly because it shows whether a university is putting effort into global collaboration and diversity, but also because it indicates global appeal for students and researchers around the world. QS recently began distinguishing between International Faculty Ratio and International Student Ratio', both of which account for 5% of

Events were organised to give participating universities an opportunity to receive important information necessary for achieving their objectives, to network with leading professionals and look for new partners, to discuss current issues related to the project and share their experience. In 2015, there were more than

2162-471: Is in their greatest interest to rank their own institution more highly than others. This means the results of the survey and any apparent change in ranking are highly questionable, and that a high ranking has no real intrinsic value in any case. We are vehemently opposed to the evaluation of the University according to the outcome of such PR competitions. Like many other international university rankings, QS uses

2256-443: Is obtained using another survey, like Academic Reputation, and accounts for 15% of an institution's overall score. The most recent edition surveyed some 99,000 employers at companies and organisations that hire graduates on a significant or global scale. This survey was introduced in 2005 in the belief that employers track graduate quality, making this a barometer of teaching quality and the level of work readiness acquired by students,

2350-789: Is weighted to account for 20% of the final citations score. QS has conceded the presence of some data-collection errors regarding citations per faculty in previous years' rankings. One concern is the differences between the Scopus and Thomson Reuters databases. For major world universities, the two systems capture largely the same publications and citations. For less prominent institutions, Scopus has more non-English language and smaller-circulation journals in its database leading some critics to suggest that citation averages are skewed towards English-speaking universities. This area has been criticized for undermining universities that do not use English as their primary language. QS's Employer Reputation indicator

2444-528: The Dissernet project, supported Burmatov's claims. In his opinion, in order to develop confidence in Russian universities, it was necessary to restore the reputation of both the universities and their staff.

5452-537: The lists for the first time. Moving forward, the QS rankings had some subjective challenges. All the universities participating in the project were far from being in the first 100 in the QS World University Rankings. NSU and MSTU were in the 300-400 list and the others, even further. Regardless, according to QS, NSU and MIPT were now in the top ten best universities in the Emerging Europe and Central Asia 2015/2016. The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)

Ben Sauter, the head of research at QS, also acknowledged the effort put in by Russian universities in 2014. One of the important objectives for the universities involved was to attract international students and lecturers (at least 15% and 10% respectively). The percentage of overseas students can significantly differ even amongst universities in

6110-435: The overall score. Some people have expressed concern about the manner in which the academic reputation survey has been carried out. In a report, Peter Wills from the University of Auckland wrote of the THE -QS World University Rankings: But we note also that this survey establishes its rankings by appealing to university staff, even offering financial enticements to participate (see Appendix II). Staff are likely to feel it

6204-402: The project budget for 2013-2017 was made up of a total of 60.5 billion rubles. The increase in funding was mainly due to the inclusion of six more universities in the program. The Council was looking at opportunities to extend the list to an additional 10-15 universities: as the current list does not have any representatives of universities in the field of agriculture or transport. Every year

6298-407: The project. The council was created in the spring of 2013, chosen by the government.

Other commentators have pointed at the low validity of the survey, since few people know much about the quality of teaching and research at other institutions but their own. However, the issues extend beyond survey methodology. The QS World University Rankings have been criticised by many for placing too much emphasis on reputation, which receives 50% of

6580-555: The same academic year. First published in 2014, the annual QS Arab Region University Rankings highlights leading universities in the Arab Region. The methodology for this ranking has been developed to reflect specific challenges and priorities for institutions in the region, drawing on 10 indicators. In 2009, QS launched the QS World University Rankings: Asia in partnership with  The Chosun Ilbo newspaper in Korea to rank universities in Asia independently. The 15th edition, released in 2022, ranked 760 universities, with inclusion based on

6674-475: The same methodological indicators tend to be used for the regional rankings, the weightings are modified and additional lenses are included to account for the unique characteristics of each region. Additional metrics include incoming and outgoing exchange students, academic staff with a PhD, and web visibility. Accordingly, the performance of institutions within their respective regional rankings can differ significantly from the QS World University Rankings released in
