Thomson Reuters Launches Academic Reputation Survey for 2011
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, May 05, 2011 - Thomson Reuters, the authority on
research analytics and decision support citation data for more than half a
century, today announced that it has launched its Academic Reputation Survey for
2011.
The survey, which will remain open until May 20(th), is the largest of its kind
ever undertaken by Thomson Reuters. Survey respondents are asked which
institutions they consider the best in terms of research, teaching and by other
factors such as geographical region. The assessments gathered through the survey
will be combined with other key variables to form a comprehensive profile for
each institution.
During the next two weeks, thousands of respondents will have the opportunity to
answer a range of questions focused on 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
will be offered in nine languages: Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish,
French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, English, and for the
first time, Arabic.
"We've had a great start to this year's survey with responses already pouring
in," said Jonathan Adams, director of research evaluation at Thomson Reuters.
"'We're particularly pleased to offer the survey in Arabic for the first time.
Other surveys have been criticized for over-representing North America and
Europe, so we took particular care to better balance regional representation."
The survey forms part of Thomson Reuters Global Institutional Profiles Project,
an initiative that will create data-driven profiles of globally significant
research institutions. It also will help inform the Times Higher Education's
influential World University Rankings and represents the largest single
reputation survey used in the rankings to date.
Thomson Reuters Global Institutional Profiles Project combines reputational
feedback, scholarly outputs, citation patterns, funding levels, and faculty
characteristics across disciplines in one comprehensive database. The dataset
can be packaged and analyzed to different specifications, giving organizations
custom information for evaluating and benchmarking their performance and
supporting efforts to secure research funding.
Thomson Reuters will continue to analyze and release detailed results of the
Academic Reputation Survey in the coming months. For more information and
