Japan's Kyodo News quoted Phil Betty, editor of The Times Higher Education Supplement, as saying: "Japan is still the leader of higher education and research in Asia, but this position will not last long: new data clearly show that it is losing its leading position, and China and South Korea are accelerating to catch up."

When talking about the development of China University, Betty mentioned that the figures speak for themselves: in the past ten years, the overall R&D in China has maintained a high growth rate of about 18%. From 200 1 to 20 1 1, the worldwide citation rate of China's papers increased from 3% to1/%.

20 14 six schools in India were selected, three more than 20 13. Only two schools in Thailand are in the top 100, ranking relatively low. Malaysia and the Philippines were not selected.

In the 20 13-20 14 world university rankings published by The Times Higher Education Supplement, the overall strength pattern of global education has not changed much, and the United States still dominates. California Institute of Technology topped the list for three consecutive years, followed by Harvard and Oxford. Among the top 200 universities, there are 77 American universities, 5 Japanese universities, 4 Korean universities, 3 Hongkong universities and 2 Chinese mainland universities. The two seats in Chinese mainland are Peking University and Tsinghua University, both of which are in the top 50.

The rankings of Asian universities and world universities use the same evaluation method to evaluate the degree of teaching, research, knowledge achievement transformation and internationalization, and use the recognized independent evaluation index 13 to score. Thomson Reuters is responsible for data collection, analysis and verification. Schools that do not offer undergraduate education, are not comprehensive and have a small number of research papers cannot participate in the evaluation.

In addition, QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), which terminated its cooperation with The Times Higher Education Supplement on 20/KOOC-0/0, independently launched the "QS BRICS University Rankings" on June, 2065 438+08/KOOC-0/4. According to the ranking, there are 6 universities in China in the top 10 of BRICS universities. Tsinghua and Peking University are in the top two respectively. Among the 200 universities on the list, there are 765,438+0 universities in China.

However, China University also has obvious shortcomings: its academic influence is still insufficient to compete with western competitors. In the QS World University Ranking, China University is not among the top 100 citation rates in the world.
