Jajo, Nethal K.; Harrison, Jen
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, v36 n5 p471-482 2014
University rankings are key drivers in national and institutional strategic planning. The increase in the number of university ranking systems and the diversity of methods and indicators used by these systems necessitate the development of an index that can measure a university's performance in all these systems at once. This article presents the Achievement Index, using real data examples.
