University Ranking and benchmarking:
How can we get in to the league table?
Dr Muhammad SohailMicrobiology
Are our Universities meant to be ranked?• Ranking systems are designed by developed countries for developed
countries • It may lead to behaviors and redesign of strategy to improve in the
rankings rather than to do what's right for the local setting• It is designed to say who is better than who, rather than how good
you are and whether you have improved or regressed• Without adequate funding we should not think of ranking
But it…
• Provides a baseline and helps with goal/target setting• Enhances productivity • Streamlines processes and procedures• Improves information sharing• Helps to better understand stakeholder (students, staff, external
parties) needs• Ensures continuous organisational improvement/development within
the context of strategic planning
Ranking agencies
Global Ranking agencies• Times Higher Education World University Rankings• QS Ranking
Regional Agencies:• European Union• China• India• Philippines• Pakistan

Additional components… contd
• Number of Research Papers published in HEC recognized X and Y category journals • HEC Recognized Journals Published by the university during 2013
and 2014.• Number of Research Papers published in Impact Factor journals
(Only ISI Web of Science/Knowledge
Impact Factor
• A quantitative measurement of journals’ reputation• In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number
of citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years.• Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) releases Journal Citation Report
(JCR) for indexed journals
International Impact Factor Services(Other than ISI)
• Global Information of Scientific Information (GISI)• Real Time Impact Factor• Index Cupernicus
International Impact Factor Services
• Evaluation Method• Journal that have a valid ISSN No. (Online / Print) & published Minimum two Issues can
apply for IIFS and be eligible for it. The IIFS is calculated per year based on several criteria.
• The IIFS is calculated per year on the basis of a points contribution scale on number of articles published during a year. Articles are selected from each issue and their quality is judged.
• Original Articles/Papers: 100• Citation: 300• Editorial Quality: 30• Regularity & International Presence: 70
JIF by GISI
• Journal Impact factors are calculated in yearly/half- yearly/ Quarterly/Monthly for those journals that are indexed in Journal Reference Reports (JRR)
• At least 1 or 2 article must have been published in the first issue before you submit the journal in online or print
• Total 25 journals are listed
h-Index
• The Hirsch index is a combination of productivity with impact. • A scientist has index h if h of [his/her] Np papers have at least h
citations each, and the other (Np − h) papers have at most h citations each.• The h-index provides a combination of both quantity (number of
papers) and quality (impact, or citations to these papers)
