dc.description.abstractSinds de komst van de Shanghai ranking zijn er tal van globale universitaire rankings ontstaan. Deze diversifiëren zich niet alleen in de breedte en de diepte, doch ook naar de methoden en de indicatoren die gebruikt worden voor het wikken en wegen van de performantie van een universitaire instelling. Universitaire rankings zijn inmiddels bijzonder populair geworden. Rankingresultaten bereiken het grote publiek door de grootschalige pers- en media-aandacht die zij genieten, en worden bijgevolg door verschillende belanghebbenden gebruikt, gaande van beleidsmakers tot onderzoekers, studenten en hun ouders. Daarom is het nu meer dan ooit belangrijk om de universitaire ranglijsten, hun onderliggende methodologieën en indicatoren juist te interpreteren. Maar al te vaak worden immers overhaaste conclusies getrokken zonder na te gaan wat een bepaald rankingresultaat precies inhoudt.-
dc.description.abstractSince the first publication of the Shanghai ranking, the number of global academic rankings has grown. These rankings not only diversify horizontally and vertically, but also differ in their choice of methods and indicators to evaluate university performance. University rankings have become increasingly popular over the years and reach the general public by the wide media attention that they receive upon each publication of new ranking results. This makes academic rankings accessible for a diverse group of stakeholders such as policymakers, researchers, students and their parents. It is therefore crucial that ranking results, their underlying methodology and their indicators are interpreted in full knowledge and in the correct context. All too often hasty conclusions are drawn without considering what a particular ranking result exactly entails.-
