In 2010, Times Higher Education launched the THE Global Academic Reputation Survey to capture the perception of publishing academics regarding university performance.

Our global academic survey

This year, we ask our academic community to vote on the best institution within their country and globally, with respect to teaching and research. We are deepening our survey each year.

The survey also drives our World Reputation Rankings. To create the overall reputation ranking, the research and teaching votes are combined in a 2:1 ratio.

Africa 2%Asia Pacific 33%Eastern Europe 11%Latin America 6%Middle East 3%North America 19%Western Europe 26%

The THE Global Academic Reputation Survey captures the voices of more than 10,000 published academics worldwide. Votes are weighted to match the proportion of researchers by country, per OECD and Unesco datasets, providing a geographically balanced view.

Toggle easily among teaching, research or overall reputation. Switch between total number of votes, votes from research staff only or votes from teaching staff only

The reputation by region diagram shows the vote share of your institution and those of your chosen benchmark peers. The colour segments show you the sources and destinations of votes in terms of geographical regions. Focus on an individual institution to see where it is best regarded or over an individual region to see which institutions are best regarded in that region

Perform a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis of your reputation by subject, discovering areas of strength and weakness.

Visualise the position of your performance on reputation measures (votes) and that of your peers plotted against objective measures: field weighted citation score or paper productivity.

THEReputation – by subject

• Diagnose the sources and differences in your national v international reputation across eight subjects using a spider graph

• The analysis explores how your are perceived inside and outside your home country by looking at the support you receive on different subjects. Where the shapes are similar you have a consistent image. Where they differ you have an inconsistent image.

• Utilise THE’s proprietary clustering model, which identifies groups of universities whose academics mutually promote each other

• Find out which cluster your institution belongs to, providing insight about the reputation and brand characteristics (strengths and weaknesses) of your university among the wider university community

• Discover which other clusters are supporting your institution’s cluster, identifying opportunities for partnerships or recruitment, or groups of universities where you may need to invest in brand awareness.

THEReputation – network analysis THEReputation – network analysis

Academics tend to vote for institutions they know in our reputation survey. Sometimes those institutions are global “super connectors” (indicated by the yellow circle in the Communities Chart on page 11) that everyone working in the field aspires to work with. Other times the academics get to know other institutions through formal collaborations, such as staff and student exchanges and joint teaching or research programmes, and informal collaborations, such as staff and student recruitment, and citations.

By analysing voting patterns, communities of collaborative networks are identified in each of the eight broad subject categories.

Each circle opposite indicates a community and the size represents the number of members. You can belong to, at most, one community for each subject. You can also see how members of the communities are connected in the Communities Network Chart (page 11).
