[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Garbage in, garbage out. Many of the US News rankings that bluesky used as a source are incorrect. Princeton is not #16 in US News, it is ranked much higher. [/quote] Some of you do not read/ lack comprehension skills. They are using the US news global ranking not the US ranking. Princeton is ranked 16 there. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings[/quote] No, this ranking is mixing graduate schools with undergraduate schools. Why else would UC-San Francisco be included in the rankings ?[/quote] Exactly. How can you have an aggregate ranking system that includes both undergraduate and schools that have no undergraduate at all? (e.g., UCSF) I mean these are all highly regarded schools, but the quote ranking” aspect of it is silly.[/quote] There are no undergrads in the ranking. Again if some of you would actually read the article, the individual rankings used are talking about global rankings which are scoring schools on mainly graduate standing and overall teaching quality. If it was just undergrads you would see LAC's on the list which you do not. This is about research colleges. There's a methodology at the bottom of the page. [b]Each of the major university rankings uses a different methodology and weights the use of different data to produce their league tables, so it is important to understand what is being measured. In simple terms: THE – the performance indicators are grouped into five areas: Teaching (the learning environment); Research (volume, income and reputation); Citations (research influence); International Outlook (staff, students and research); and Industry Income (knowledge transfer). Teaching (30%); Research (30%); Citations (30%); International Outlook (7.5%); Industry Income (2.5%). QS– six indicators looking at four broad categories: research reputation, the learning and teaching environment, research impact, and internationalisation. Academic Reputation (40%); Employer Reputation (10%); Citations per Faculty (20%); Faculty Student Ratio (20%); International Student Ratio (5%); International Faculty Ratio (5%) ARWU – considers every university that has any Nobel Laureates, Fields Medalists, Highly Cited Researchers, or papers published in Nature or Science. In addition, universities with a significant amount of papers indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) are also included. Quality of Education (10%); Quality of Faculty (40%); Research Output (40%) Per Capita Performance (10%) US News – calculates the rankings using 13 indicators and weights that U.S. News chose to measure global research performance. Global Research Reputation (12.5%); Regional Research Reputation (12.5%); Publications (10%); Books (2.5%); Conferences (2.5%), Normalized Citation Impact (10%); Total Citations (7.5%); Number Of Publications Among 10% Most Cited (12.5%); Percentage Of Total Publications Among 10% Most Cited (10%); International Collaboration – Relative To Country (5%); International Collaboration (5%); Number Of Highly Cited Papers Among Top 1% Most Cited In Respective Field (5%); Percentage Of Total Publications Among Top 1% Most Highly Cited Papers (5%) [/b][/quote]
