PRADO, Antonio Fernando Bertachini de Almeida. Multidimensional Academic Evaluation using the "U-Multirank". Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.1, pp.159-182. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772022000100009.

Evaluation of Academic Institutions is of great interest in the world, always causing controversies. This subject is current in Brazil, because CAPES is studying new forms to evaluate Brazilian Graduate Programs. The main idea is to use multidimensional models, to consider aspects that are important for academic institutions and for the communities where they are inserted, but that are not captured by the current evaluation, which is focused on results generated by international research. In the absence of multidimensional evaluation methods in Brazil, it is interesting to analyze international experiences in this area, to improve our understanding on how they work. In this scenario, the international academic ranking “U-Multirank” stands out. It was created in Europe and has results available since 2014. The present paper will analyze the Dimensions and Indicators of this ranking and their correlations in Spanish Education Institutions.

Palabras clave : academic rankings; higher education evaluation; multidimensional evaluation; university management.
