الوصف: Since few universities can afford to be excellent in all subject areas, university administrators face the difficult decision of selecting areas for strategic investment. While the past decade has seen a proliferation of university ranking systems, several aspects in the design of most ranking systems make them inappropriate to benchmark performance in a way that supports formulation of effective institutional research strategy. To support strategic decision making, universities require research benchmarking data that is sufficiently fine-grained to show variation among specific research areas and identify focused areas of excellence; is objective and verifiable; and provides meaningful comparisons across the diversity of national higher education environments. This paper describes the Global Research Benchmarking System (GRBS) which satisfies these requirements by providing fine-grained objective data to internationally benchmark university research performance in over 250 areas of Science and Technology. We provide analyses of research performance at country and university levels, using the diversity of indicators in GRBS to examine distributions of research quality in countries and universities as well as to contrast university research performance from volume and quality perspectives. A comparison of the GRBS results with those of the three predominant ranking systems shows how GRBS is able to identify pockets of excellence within universities that are overlooked by the more traditional aggregate level approaches.

الوصف: World University Rankings (WUR) measure institutions in different ways. These rankings can take into account research quality and revenue, surveys of academics and employers, staff-student ratios, and statistics on demographics such as the number of international students. The Higher Education System Rankings assess national higher education systems, and meet a long-standing need to shift discussion from the ranking of the world’s best universities, to the best overall systems in each country. The underlying factors that make a country have the higher number of universities in the World University Rankings is a recent focus of attention and this paper contributes in this matter. We find out that besides the country’s economic potential, the policy and regulatory environment and the level of connectivity of their universities determine the results to become a solid group of best-ranked university system. Moreover, in order to reflect the country’s overall performance in world university rankings we propose a new Excellence/Quality indicator based on the excellence level reached by their Top universities within the Top positions of the WUR weighted by the country’s size population. For this purpose, the countries with universities at the Top 300 positions of the QS World University Ranking 2018 are analyzed.
