[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I detect an anglo bias in them-there rankings.[/quote] I think it is true, but not US News' intention. This is because they used the database in English. All of the existing global rankings are in some way following the example setup by the first one: the prestigious Shanghai Rankings (ARWU). Among these rankings, Shanghai Rankings are not biased to Chinese universities (they even didn't rank any Chinese university in top 100), and this US News Global Rankings are not biased towards the US institutions. However, both rankings tables from UK (QS and THE) are heavily biased in favor of British schools. This conclusion is the result of a study by a British professor. [/quote]
