University Rankings

World context of university rankings

An investigation carried out by Dr. Carlos Lavalle (2017), in his doctoral thesis: Research universities: New world paradigm -pag 59-68, on the measurement of quality in the contemporary university, explains in detail the conjunction of two factors that emerge at the time of measurement: multidimensionality and diversity.

The synthetic development of the three most prestigious world rankings - ARW, THE and Webometrics - allows you to establish a comparison between them and make an analysis of the coincidences, more than 70% between them, which makes this study very interesting. However, only one contributes "something more" than a classification: a path of improvement to govern in a more connected way with society.
