Abstract

PRADO, ANTONIO F. B. A.. STUDY OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL ACADEMIC RANKING U-MULTIRANK. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.34, e09117.  Epub Dec 29, 2023. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v34.9117_port.

The present paper explores the dimensions and indicators of the international multidimensional academic ranking U-Multirank. Studying this ranking is important in Brazil today, as the new evaluation of graduate programs in the country is incorporating several aspects of multidimensional evaluation, including concepts from U-Multirank. This ranking reveals the strengths and weaknesses of each academic institution through 5 dimensions formed by 36 indicators. While this large set of dimensions and indicators provides a comprehensive view of universities, it raises questions regarding their independence and data availability. The analysis focuses on the top 300 European academic institutions listed in the 2020 edition, describing the dimensions and indicators and calculating statistical correlations between them.

Keywords : MULTIDIMENSIONAL ACADEMIC EVALUATIONS; EVALUATION OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM; ACADEMIC RANKINGS; INTERNATIONAL EVALUATION; UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT.
