Aims of Ranking

Assessing OIC universities among themselves; Assessing the gap between OIC universities and world-

class universities; Increasing competitiveness among OIC universities; Assessing academic excellence of each university; Helping determine best practices; Giving impetus to science and research policy in

national settings; Contributing to the intensification of scientific relations

and wider-reaching networking of national and international research.

Need for Ranking

Ranking lists have for some time been in great demand all over the world. Recently, the concept of ranking has gained more prominence.

Therefore, new efforts to rank excellence are continually coming to the market, and are likely to increase in number and use in the foreseeable future.

Given the fact that there are only a few universities in the OIC region ranked in the top 500 world class universities in the last decade, there is a need to improve the current situation in this respect.

4

Ranking as a Method for Identification of Excellence

The core of ranking is establishing comparability among institutions.

Comparability is based on methods and techniques which are intended to identify the best research institutions in their overall performance and respective fields, using objective and transparent data.

5

Ranking as a Matter of Competition

Competition is the rationale underlying ranking efforts. In fact, competition has been a characteristic element in science and humanities for centuries, both for those directly involved in research and for their institutions.

Ranking has taken on new forms in the last few decades, and in this process, has also been increasingly used as a new dimension of measuring quality in the higher education sector.

6

Ranking At International Scale

Since research does not stop at national boundaries,

internationality is an integral element of research. Hence,

we should try to convert this international aspect into a

“measurable quantity” in order to say something

meaningful about the prime parameter “excellence.”

7

Competitive Strategy for Excellence

Institutions need to watch their competitors in; managing their activities, positioning themselves in the higher education sector, prioritizing where to focus, building competences for future, and allocating resources.

Ranking requires universities to develop competitive strategies to gain and sustain competitive advantage in the higher education sector.

Some Statistical Findings Concerning the Rankings

Statistical analysis via Correlation Coefficient provides useful information on the relationship between the variables of interest.

Correlation Coefficient (r): A statistic that gives a measure of how closely two variables are

related. A statistical measure of the extent to which variations in one

variable are related to variations in another. A value of +1 indicates a perfectly positive relationship, –1

indicates a perfectly inverse relationship, and 0 indicates no relationship between the variables.

38

Correlation between GDP and the Distribution of top 20 Universities

by Country

A value of 0.70797 indicates that there is strong positive relationship between the share of countries in the ranking of top 20 universities and their GDP.

This close relationship holds true also for the share of countries in the ranking of top 50 and 85 universities.

Correlation coefficient for these rankings and GDP is 0.70651 and 0.70728, respectively.

Role of SESRTCIC

By collecting quantitatively reliable information and data on agreed research and education indicators of universities, the SESRTCIC aims to be the independent body of ranking for the OIC member countries in two ways:

OIC LEVEL: Ranking universities within the entire OIC region

NATIONAL LEVEL: Ranking universities within each OIC member country
