[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ranking methodology emphasizes volume of research output, which means that Chinese universities will naturally dominate. There are simply 4X the number of people in China and probably 10X the number of STEM students compared to the US. While most of this stuff is dreck, the quality of research from China is also improving rapidly. I would not be surprised if (at least in science and engineering), Beijing, Fudan, USTC etc supplant MIT/Harvard/Stanford in the next few years. And now the folks in OSTP want to fund non-University research institutions, which will undermine the research base at universities further. The war on wokeness is going to have some stark consequences.....[/quote] Not exactly. The methodology looks at citations-better quality papers will be cited more frequently. It only looks at publications in a subset of legit journals. [/quote]
