Analyzing and Improving Times Higher Education World University and Impact Rankings

本研究以全世界與各國觀點分析近三年泰晤士高等教育世界大學排名與大學影響力排名，探討整體排名趨勢、臺灣與標竿或競爭國家之間的差異，分析排名進步的原因。本研究提供一個較直觀且有效率的參考資訊，最後對如何提升排名提出結論與建議。本研究獲得如下成果：一、THE WUR排名進步最多的前五名國家皆為亞洲國家，中國在前300名校數增加最多，美國減少最多。二、THE WUR排名進步較多學校，大多來自印度、巴基斯坦、沙烏地阿拉伯、中國、埃及等五國學校，其中，印度、巴基斯坦、中國與埃及在研究品質類別進步最多，沙烏地阿拉伯在研究環境類別進步最多。三、THEWUR前300名但未參加THE IR總排名的學校多來自美國、中國、德國等三國。四、澳大利亞與英國兩國在THE IR總排名表現最好，臺灣、泰國、沙烏地阿拉伯、韓國、日本等五國進步最多。五、近三年THE IR總排名前300名學校入選最高分的SDG大同小異（前五名分別為SDG8、3、11、9、12）。

This study not only demonstrates Times Higher Education World University Rankings and Impact Rankings for the past three years from the perspective of whole universities and countries but also analyzes trends of the two rankings and the difference between Taiwan and the benchmark or competitor.

(2) The universities with most improved ranking in THE WUR are from India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China and Egypt. Specifically, India, Pakistan, China and Egypt are good at Research quality, while Saudi Arabia is good at Research environment. (3) Top 300 universities in THE WUR but not yet in THE IR overall rankings are mainly from United States,China and Germany. (4) Australia and the United Kingdom are Top 2 in THE IR overall rankings. However, Taiwan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Korea and Japan raise most ranking. (5) SDG8, 3, 11, 9 and 12 are most common in top three SDGs from Top 300 universities in THE IR overall rankings.
