QS Latin American University Rankings - 2011

We have adapted our university rankings methodology to produce the first ever Latin American University Rankings.

Rankings
My Rank QS Rank QS Rank School Name Country QS Stars Rating Overall
Academic Reputation
The Academic Reputation Index is the centrepiece of the QS World University Rankings® carrying a weighting of 40%. It is an approach to international university evaluation that QS pioneered in 2004 and is the component that attracts the greatest interest and scrutiny. In concert with the Employer Reputation Index it is the aspect which sets this ranking most clearly apart from any other.
Employer Reputation
The QS Global Employer Survey has seen a dramatic increase in response in 2012 from 17,000 in 2011 to over 25,500 in 2012. Growth has been seen worldwide but nowhere more profoundly than in Latin America, where a campaign conducted in Spanish met with great success. Responses are closely scrutinized and weighted to eliminate biases that may result from disproportionate response levels.
Faculty Student
Student Faculty Ratio is, at present, the only globally comparable and available indicator that has been identified to address the stated objective of evaluating teaching quality. Clearly it is not a satisfactory as a qualitative classroom evaluation as might be considered for a domestic teaching assessment, but it does speak to the notion of “commitment to teaching”, which ought to correlate strongly, if not completely with the level of teaching quality.
Citations per Paper
Citations per Paper focuses on the performance of the papers an institution produces that are actually indexed in Scopus – ignoring efforts undertaken resulting in publication in local language journals that may not be covered by Scopus. A publication threshold of 100 papers is applied to eliminate anomalous low numbers of papers from overly benefiting small institutions.
Papers per Faculty
Papers per Faculty looks at publication volume within SciVerse Scopus regardless of language (Scopus accepts non-English content as long as there are English language abstracts).
Faculty Staff with PhD
In our survey conducted early in 2011, Staff with PhD came out as the most important factor not already considered as part of the global methodology. First introduced for the QS University Rankings – Latin America in 2011, the inaugural data collection process has run a lot more smoothly than anticipated for a new indicator. The indicator is based on a simple proportion of each institution that hold a PhD or equivalent terminal degree.
Web Impact
At the moment, this indicator is exclusively used in the QS University Rankings – Latin America. The Webometrics Ranking Web of World Universities looks at the effectiveness of institutions projection online. Due to the automated nature of the approach, the ranking embraces some 20,000 institutions worldwide – the most extensive comparative evaluation of world universities.
