The QS Rankings, renowned for its esteemed university evaluations, annually releases the QS World University Rankings. The 2024 edition comprises a dataset encompassing the top 100 universities globally, with each entry defined by 12 features.

The 'rank' feature denotes the university's position in the QS rankings, offering a quantitative representation of its standing. The 'university' column identifies the institution by name. The 'overall score' is a floating-point value derived from various contributing factors, reflecting the comprehensive evaluation undertaken by QS.

Academic reputation, an integral aspect, is quantified in the 'academic reputation' feature, while 'employer reputation' gauges the institution's standing in the professional realm. The 'faculty student ratio' is calculated by dividing the faculty count by the number of students, a metric often indicative of the learning environment's quality.

'Citations per faculty' delves into the scholarly impact, measuring the total citations received by an institution's papers over five years, normalized by faculty size. The 'international faculty ratio' and 'international students ratio' shed light on the global diversity of the academic community, capturing the proportion of foreign faculty and students.

The 'international research network' employs a formula to quantify the institution's global partnerships and collaborations. 'Employment outcomes' are assessed through a formula involving alumni impact and graduate employment indices, providing insights into the professional success of graduates.

Finally, the 'sustainability' feature evaluates an institution's commitment to environmental sciences, considering alumni outcomes and academic reputation within the field. It also examines the inclusion of climate science and sustainability in the curriculum, reflecting the growing emphasis on environmental consciousness in higher education.

In essence, this dataset encapsulates a multifaceted evaluation of universities worldwide, encompassing academic, professional, and sustainability dimensions, making it a valuable resource for individuals and institutions navigating the dynamic landscape of global higher education.

The Institutional Data Archive on American Higher Education (IDA) contains academic data on 384 four-year colleges and universities in the United States. The IDA is one of two databases produced by the Colleges and Universities 2000 project based at the University of California, Riverside. This release, the third compilation of the IDA, is updated through academic year 2010-2011, and includes longitudinal and cross-sectional data from multiple sources. The collection is organized into nine datasets based on the unit of analysis and whether identifiers linking the data to particular institutions are present; seven of the datasets can be linked by a common identifier variable (PROJ_ID), and two cannot be linked due to confidentiality agreements. The seven identifiable datasets contain information on institutions, university systems, programs and academic departments, earned degrees, graduate schools, medical schools, and institutional academic rankings over time. Data regarding student enrollments, average SAT and ACT scores, and tuition and fees has been recorded, as well as institutional information concerning libraries, research activity, revenue and expenditures, faculty salaries, and quality rankings for program faculty. The identifiable datasets also include census information for neighborhoods surrounding IDA colleges and universities. The two non-identifiable datasets contain confidential survey responses from IDA institution presidents, chancellors, provosts, and academic vice presidents; survey questions pertained to governance structures, institutional goals and achievements, and solicited opinions on current and future issues facing the respondent's institution and higher education in general.

Based on the scores awarded by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2025, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) was ranked first in the country in the field of academic reputation, obtaining a score of ** points. This university ranked fourth among the leading universities in Latin America in 2025. It was followed by the Tecnológico de Monterrey with **** points for academic reputation.

The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) is a classification of academic and research-related institutions ranked by a composite indicator that combines three different sets of indicators based on research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact measured by their web visibility. It provides a friendly interface that allows the visualization of any customized ranking from the combination of these three sets of indicators. Additionally, it is possible to compare the trends for individual indicators of up to six institutions. For each large sector it is also possible to obtain distribution charts of the different indicators. For comparative purposes, the value of the composite indicator has been set on a scale of 0 to 100. However the line graphs and bar graphs always represent ranks (lower is better, so the highest values are the worst).

Harvard University was the top-ranked university in the world in 2024 with a score of 100 according to the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy group. Out of the top 30 ranked universities, the United States had 19 different universities on the list. An American legacy Harvard University is by far the most prestigious university in the United States. Founded in 1636, it is the country’s oldest institution of higher learning. Harvard is a member of the Ivy League, which is a group of eight private colleges in the Northeastern United States. Ivy League colleges are known in the U.S. for being highly selective while providing top education. The top of the top Out of thousands of higher education institutions in the United States, Harvard is even more exceptional for producing both the most presidents and the most billionaires. Attending college is typically seen as giving attendees a leg up in society, although the high cost of attendance can sometimes negate this effect.

In this article, we discuss possibilities for ranking business schools and analyse the stability of research rankings using different ranking methods. One focus is set on a comparison of publication-based rankings with citation-based rankings. Our considerations and discussions are based on a (small) case study for which we have examined all (six) business schools at public universities in Austria. The innovative aspect of our article is the chosen mix of methods and the explicit comparison of the results of a publication analysis with those of a citation analysis. In addition, we have developed a new indicator to check the stability of the obtained ranking results with regard to the individual business schools. The results show that the ranks of the individual business schools are quite stable. Nevertheless, we found some differences between publication-based and citation-based rankings. In both cases, however, the choice of the data source as well as switching from full to adjusted counting only have little impact on the ranking results. The main contribution of our approach to research in the field of university rankings is that it shows that focusing on a single (overall) indicator should be avoided, as this can easily lead to bias. Instead, different (partial) indicators should be calculated side by side to provide a more complete picture.

Universities and higher education institutions form an integral part of the national infrastructure and prestige. As academic research benefits increasingly from international exchange and cooperation, many universities have increased investment in improving and enabling their global connectivity. Yet, the relationship of university performance and its global physical connectedness has not been explored in detail. We conduct the first large-scale data-driven analysis into whether there is a correlation between university relative ranking performance and its global connectivity via the air transport network. The results show that local access to global hubs (as measured by air transport network betweenness) strongly and positively correlates with the ranking growth (statistical significance in different models ranges between 5% and 1% level). We also showed that the local airport's aggregate flight paths (degree) and capacity (weighted degree) has no effect on university ranking, further...
