Burmatov's party " United Russia ", even raised the question whether Livanov should be excluded from the Party for "a failure to reform universities and a mess in the education system", but the head of the party, Dmitry Medvedev, rejected this proposal. Andrey Rostovtsev, physicist and founder of

243-420: A citation database to calculate some of its indicators. The use of these citations databases have been criticised, since they do not include research output from the humanities and social sciences to the same degree as the natural sciences, engineering and medicine. It has also been pointed out that the indicator 'faculty/student ratio' does not measure commitment to teaching, but rather research intensity, since

324-675: A dozen events in Russia and abroad with project participants. Of these were some particularly significant international events: QS World University Rankings The QS World University Rankings is a portfolio of comparative college and university rankings compiled by Quacquarelli Symonds , a higher education analytics firm. Its first and earliest edition was published in collaboration with Times Higher Education ( THE ) magazine as Times Higher Education –QS World University Rankings , inaugurated in 2004 to provide an independent source of comparative data about university performance. In 2009,

405-536: 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

486-570: 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

567-464: 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

648-449: A four-year term of study. After Pisarevsky passed away in 1895, Nikolai Kachalov became the head of the institute.

891-430: A methodology that considers a range of factors, including academic reputation, employer reputation, research impact, and internationalization. The methodology is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant and up-to-date.

QS has

It was supported by Vladimir Putin who urged them to collaborate with universities and participate in their curriculum development. Furthermore, the universities attention was also focused on school education, and as a result, many universities have preparation courses. About 65% of school-aged children in Russia are involved in extra-curricular education, which

1134-440: Is a limited metric, particularly in the face of modern enhancements in online teaching methods and content distribution. Citations of published research are among the most widely used inputs to national and global university rankings. The QS World University Rankings used citation data from Thomson (now Thomson Reuters) from 2004 to 2007, and since then has used data from  Scopus , part of Elsevier. The total number of citations for

1215-580: 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

1377-544: 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

1458-451: Is fully covered by the state. The 5-100 project gave special attention to those fields related to engineering and technology. 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

1539-471: 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

1620-443: 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.

1782-789: 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

1863-578: 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.

Hence,

The percentage of overseas students can significantly differ even amongst universities in the same region. For example, at Tomsk Polytechnical University, there were about 25% international students, while at Tomsk State University only 9%. In general, these students are usually from former Soviet republics. According to 2014's data, ITMO university had more than 900 international students enrolled – around 6.5% of all students.
