Thomson Reuters Launches Academic Reputation Survey for 2012
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Largest undertaking of its kind delivers more accurate representation of
research institutions
Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, March 12, 2012 - The Intellectual Property &
Science business of Thomson Reuters today announced the launch of its 2012
Academic Reputation Survey, for a current evaluation of higher education
institutions globally. This is the third consecutive year the reputation survey
has been conducted.
The survey, which is sent to over 200,000 academics and researchers around the
world, engages professional scholars to obtain a more accurate assessment of the
institutional landscape. Survey respondents are asked which institutions they
consider the best in terms of research, teaching and other factors, such as
geographical region. These assessments are combined with other key variables to
create a comprehensive profile for each institution.
From the start of the survey until its close in late April, respondents will
have the opportunity to answer questions in six subject areas: engineering and
technology; physical sciences; life sciences; clinical, preclinical and health;
social sciences; and arts and humanities.
To help control for language and translation bias, the Academic Reputation
Survey is offered in nine languages: Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, European
Portuguese, English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Spanish.
"We are very pleased with the increasing numbers of participants from all over
the world and expect even more this year," said Simon Pratt, product manager at
Thomson Reuters. "Thomson Reuters will continue to offer academics and
researchers the opportunity to highlight what they believe to be the strongest
universities in their specific fields, both in teaching and research."
The survey forms an important part of Thomson Reuters Global Institutional
Profiles Project, an initiative to create data-driven profiles of globally
significant research institutions. Combined with citation metrics from Web of
Knowledge(TM) and data provided by the institutions themselves, these results
are delivered in the Institutional Profiles module of InCites(TM) to analyze
productivity and benchmark against peers worldwide.
Building on an ongoing partnership with Times Higher Education, the Academic
Reputation Survey will once again help inform the magazine's influential World
University Rankings and Reputation Ranking, and represents the largest single
reputation survey used in the rankings to date. The Times Higher Education World
Reputation Rankings, based on 2011 survey data, will be announced on Thursday,
March 15.
Thomson Reuters will continue to analyze and release detailed results of the
Academic Reputation Survey in the coming months. For more information and
