The world’s largest invitation-only academic opinion survey is launching in late October, and will form Times Higher Education’s global Academic Reputation Survey 2023.
The Academic Reputation Survey, available in 12 languages, is distributed by THE and uses United Nations data as a guide to ensure that the response coverage is as representative of world scholarship as possible.
The questionnaire targets only experienced, published scholars, who offer their views on excellence in research and teaching within their disciplines and at institutions with which they are familiar. Invitations will be spread across a three-month period.
The survey results will help to fuel THE’s series of rankings in 2024.
Scholars are asked to use their discipline-specific knowledge to name up to 15 universities that they believe are the best in research and teaching, both in general and in their direct experience. The survey, which typically takes 15 minutes to complete, will close at the end of January 2023.
The headline results of the survey will be shared with respondents. More detailed analysis will then be published in THE’s World Reputation Rankings 2023. The survey data from 2022 and 2023 will also be used alongside 14 objective indicators to help create the THE World University Rankings 2024, to be published in late 2023, and all subsidiary rankings for 2024.
The survey also provides a uniquely rich picture of the changing global academic reputation of institutions to inform THE’s editorial analyses and data and analytics tools.
The survey is strictly invitation-only; universities cannot make nominations or supply contact lists, and individuals cannot nominate themselves for participation.
