Aalborg Universitets forskning skal være førende
Èt af Aalborg Universitets mål er at forskningen er blandt verdens førende.
Benchmarking gennem internationalt anerkendte målinger af universitetets forskningsmæssige
performance er med til at sikre, at forskningen foregår på et internationalt førende niveau.
Formålet er at tiltrække de bedste forskere og forskerstuderende fra både Danmark og udlandet og
fastholde Aalborg Universitet som en attraktiv samarbejdspartner for både forskning og erhvervsliv.
Rankingsystemer er populære og kommetfor at blive
Flere og flere forskningsinstitutioner benytter rankingsystemer i deres benchmarking for at kunne
sammenligne sig med konkurrerende institutioner. Nedenstående tilskynder rankinglisternes popularitet:
 Rankingsystemer er nyttige i forbindelse med reformering af højere uddannelsessystemer.
 Rankingsystemer er med til at sikre akademisk kvalitet på det voksende internationale
uddannelsesmarked.
 Rankingsystemer er brugbare i forbindelse med rekruttering.
 Rankingsystemer er anvendelige i forbindelse med udvikling af internationale
markedsføringsstrategier.
 Rankingsystemer er brugbare som læringssystemer med henblik på udvikling af
rankingmetodologier.
 Rankingsystemer er fordelagtige ved promovering af kulturer med åbenhed og
gennemsigtighed.
 Rankingsystemer er operationelle som bevillingsindikatorer.

Rankingsystemer
Rankingsystemerne kan inddeles i fire kategorier:
1. Universitetsrankingsystemer
Universitetsrankingsystemer er institutionelle
eller sub-institutionelle.
2. Globale institutionelle rankingsystemer
Eksempler på de mest refererende er ”Academic Ranking of World Universities” udgivet af
Shanghai Jiao Tong University*, samt ”World University Rankings” udgivet af Times Higher
Education Supplement (THES)*.
3. Sub-institutionelle rankingsystemer
Sub-institutionelle rankingsystemer sammenligner specifikke universitetsenheder med lignende
fra andre institutioner.
Disse rankingsystemer er ofte nationale og beskæftiger sig med professionelle skoler såsom
business, jura og medicin.
4. Rankingsystemer
Fokuserer på specifikke aspekter af universitetsaktiviteter.
Desuden udgiver flere rankingsystemer målinger på Internettet og sammenligner institutioners aktiviteter
og synlighed, eksempelvis ”Webometrics Ranking of World Universities”.
Typologi
Nedenstående definitioner beskriver rankingsystemernes typologi:
Ranking typer
 Ensartede rankingsystemer
 Disciplinbaserede rankingsystemer
 Andre (rankingsystemer, som er svære at karaktergive)
Ranking struktur
 Numerisk rankingsystemer
 Grupperede rankingsystemer
 Top-niveau rankingsystemer
Ranking hyppighed
 Årlig, toårig, treårig osv.
Ranking sortering
 Universiteter kan klassificeres efter år, geografi, finansiering (offentlig /privat) osv.
Datakilde
 Rankingsystemerne bruger flere forskellige kilder til datafangst. Eksempler på datakilder er ”Web
of Science” udgivet af Thomson ISI, samt ”Scopus” udgivet af Elsevier.

Oversigtover internationale akademiskerankingsystemer
Rankingsystemer har i mange år været udført af nationale forskningspolitiske og
universitetskoordinerende centre i Europa og USA, samt EU og OECD. Men i dag udgiver både
kommercielle forlag, aviser, nyhedsmedier og konsulent huse rankingsystemer, ligesom mange
universiteterne også selv foretager detaljerede performance vurderinger.

Indicators Weight
Academic Peer Review/ Forskeres vurderingaf de bedste universiteter
(The Academic Peer Rev iew is the centerpiece of the THE - QS World Univ ersity Rankings and is
based on an online surv ey distributed to academics worldwide. Results are compiled based on three
y ears worth of responses totaling 6,354 in 2008. Respondents are not permitted to submit their own
institution or to respond more than once (their latest response is counted). Weightings are applied
both geographically and by discipline to ensure as f air a representativ e spread as possible.)

Citations per Faculty / Antal citationer per forsker
(Citations are a widely used, conv entional measure of research strength. A citation is a ref erence to
one academic publication in the text of another. The more citations a publication receiv es the better it
is perceiv ed to be, the more highly cited papers a univ ersity publishes, the stronger it can be
considered to be. As a measure this is somewhat geared towards scientif ic and technical subjects,
which is why it doesn't carry more weight. The source used in this ev aluation is Scopus, the world's
largest abstract and citation database of research literature. The latest f iv e complete y ears of data

are used. The total citation count is f actored against the number of f aculty in order to take into
account the size of the institution.)
Faculty Student Ratio / Forhold mellemantal forskere og studerende
(Faculty Student Ratio is used in many ranking sy stems and ev aluations in the world, and whilst it
may not be a perf ect measure of teaching quality , it is the most globally av ailable and accessible
measure of commitment to teaching. An indication that the institution in question has suf f icient staff
to teach its students.)
20 %
Employer Review/ Arbejdergiveres vurdering af de bedste universiteter
(Similar to the Academic Peer Rev iew, this indicator is based on a global online surv ey , this time
distributed to employ ers. Results are again based on three y ears worth of "latest response" data.
Geographical weightings are again applied to ensure f air representation f rom al regions of the world.)

International Factors / Antal internationale studerende og forskere
(In today 's increasingly globalized world, the most successf ul univ ersities have to attract the world's
bet students and f aculty . Simple ev aluations of the proportion of international students and
international f aculty serv e as indicators of an institution's international attractiv eness. These
indicators are then combined using standard statistical methods to y ield the ov erall scores y ou will
see in the results tables.)

Webometrics*
Information
This ranking orders the universities according to four main w eb characteristics fromtheir
institutional w eb domain. The volume of contents is measured by the number of pages freely
accessible, their visibility by the number of incoming links. The number of rich files is used as an
indicator because rich files are a format to spread scientific and technicaldata and results. And
total number of document indexed in Google Scholar is an indicator of the scientific publications
on the Web. Each w eb domain is ranked by the linear aggregation of these indicators, building
the w ebometrics ranking (WR)
WR=4(visibility rank)+2(site rank)+1(Rich file rank)+1(Google Scholar rank)
Data extraction was made in February 2008 fromYahoo! Search. It allow s severalsearch
operators in a single search string and the w eb coverage is rather wide. The follow ing queries
w ere used to obtain links from the university domain (A) to the university domain (B) and vice
versa:

Google PageRank*
Information
Google har sin helt egen karakterskala, når søgemaskinen vurderer, hvor vigtig en hjemmeside
er. Karakterskalaen går fra pagerank0-10.
Værdien udregnes maskinelt efter en hemmelig og sindrig algoritme. Man kan således ikke købe
sig til en højere PageRank.
Baggrunden for tildelingen af pageranker uhyre kompleks, men det er blandt andet vigtigt hvor
mange indadgående links, der er, og hvorvidt de kommer fra sider, der har en tematisk
sammenhæng med ens egen.
For at bevare den gode placering på karakterskalaen er det naturligvis vigtigt, at vi alle på AAU
skaber godt og opdateret indhold, som andre har lyst til at linke til.
Pagerank evaluere på to ting: Hvor mange links, der er til en hjemmeside fra andre hjemmesider
samt kvaliteten af de hjemmesider, som linker
