Global Views Monthly Together with Elsevier Announce the 2019 Taiwan University Ranking Results

TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Global Views Monthly (GVM) and Elsevier, the global information analytics business specializing in science and health, commemorated their three-year collaboration at a signing ceremony today to provide data for Taiwan and GVM’s Taiwan University Ranking.

The three-year annual ranking exercise – from 2019 to 2021 – will use the most comprehensive and balanced performance indicators to evaluate Taiwanese universities on:

  • Research achievement
  • Teaching performance
  • Internationalization
  • Academic-industry collaboration
  • Societal impact
  • Financial management

Drawing data from Elsevier’s Scopus, the industry-leading abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed academic literature, GVM will be able to analyze in detail research activity from Taiwan’s higher education institutions. Elsevier’s SciVal analytics tool was used to perform research metrics analysis to provide Taiwanese universities a broader view of their research performance that includes economic impact and international collaboration.

“Rankings provide an evidence-based and objective view of the academic performance of higher-education institutions that can be practically benchmarked against for parents and students to make informed choices instead of relying on subjective criteria such as admission scores or perception of a university which were commonly used in the past,” said Mary Yang, President & Editor-in-Chief, Global Views Monthly. “We collaborated with Elsevier for the scope and breadth of its Scopus data following positive reception from the academic community for the 2018 ranking exercise.”

“We’re delighted by the opportunity to support Taiwanese universities and industry leaders in developing their strategic priorities and informing investment decisions, as well as helping government agencies shape national science and research policy,” said M’hamed Aisati, Vice President of Product Management Funding & Content Analytics, Elsevier. “These objectives align well with Elsevier’s own in providing decision support tools and services for universities, funding bodies and governments to help establish and implement their strategies.”

At the ceremony, GVM also launched the 2019 Taiwan University Ranking, the first from its three-year collaboration with Elsevier following a successful pilot ranking exercise in 2018 by the two companies.

The quality, breadth and reliability of Scopus data and the power of SciVal performance metrics is the leading reason ranking organizations choose Elsevier to underpin their evaluations and reports.

Over the past 10 years, Elsevier has been the partner of choice in the fast-developing field of rankings where Scopus data is used to calculate the influential rankings for the following organizations:
