基于ARWU的世界大学排名体系比较及实证研究

A Comparative and Empirical Study of World University Ranking System Based on ARWU

[目的/意义]"双一流"建设使得大学排名成为社会焦点,但其能否反映高校的真实水平仍存质疑,故探析验证大学排名体系的公正性、合理性意义重大。[方法/过程]以世界大学学术排名(ARWU)为研究对象,在深入探究ARWU指标体系及其构型的基础上,对比其与QS、THES、USNWR等著名世界大学排名体系的差异,并以东南亚主要知名大学为例进行实证研究。[结果/结论]ARWU的排名位次与QS、THES、USNWR有较大差异,存在系统误差的可能性,因而有必要在辩证对待各类大学排名体系的基础上,从指标调整等方面对其进行改进和修正。

[ Purpose/significance ] ＂Double first-class＂ construction makes the university ranking become the social focus, but whether it can reflect the true level of colleges and universities has been questioned. So to verify the fairness and rationality of university ranking system is significant. [ Method/process ] The study takes Academic Ranking of World Universities（ARWU） as the research object. On the basis of exploring the ARWU index system and its structure, the study compares ARWU with the famous university ranking system, such as QS, THES, and USNWR. The study has made an empirical analysis on the well-known universities in Southeast Asia. [ Result/conclusion] And results show that ARWU＇ s ranking is different from that of QS, THES and USNWR, and there is a possibility of systematic error. Therefore, it is necessary to dialectically treat all kinds of university ranking system, and on the basis to improve and correct these systems from the aspects of index adjustment.
