Limitations of rankingsLimitations of rankings

Specialist strength often overlooked Dependent on reliable collection of data for ALL

institutions Over simplified view of institutional strength Bias towards fully comprehensive institutions International studies tend to focus strongly on

research Moving target

2727

Ratings vs. RankingsRatings vs. Rankings

Ratings are not dependent on the performance of other institutions

Ratings can be more adaptive Ratings can include components not easily included in

rankings

2828

Best of BothBest of Both

Working together... A rating can provide some context to ranking results A rating can visually signal additional complexity beneath

the ranking results A rating can encourage users/readers to accept that

ranking results ought to be understood rather than simply accepted

A rating can provide additional important, yet easily consumable, information to be involved earlier in any decision making process that might involve rankings
