ABSTRACT
In order to replicate the results of the University
Metaranking-2016 (Andronesi ... David et al., 2016) regarding the position
of Romanian universities in international rankings (based on
quintilles), we ranked Romanian universities based on their position
in various academic international ranking of universities (based on
deciles). Starting from the University Metaranking-2016 exercise, we
included in our analysis the following international rankings:
Academic Ranking of World Universities/ARWO; (2) Center for World
University Rankings/CWUR; (3) Leiden Ranking/CWTS; (4) Performance
Ranking of Scientific Papers of World Universities/PRSPWU; (5) QS-Top
Universities Ranking/QS; (6) Scimago Institutions Ranking/Scimago; (7)
Times Higher Education–World University Rankings/THE; (8) University
Ranking by Academic Performance/URAP; (9) World’s Best Universities
Rankings/US-News. Out of about 92 Romanian universities (55-public
universities and 37-private universities), 20 universities (all public
universities) are visible in the University Metaranking G3A-2016. The
top three (3) universities in the University Metaranking G3A-2016 are:
(1) Babeş-Bolyai University; (2) University of Bucharest, and (3)
Bucharest Politehnic University. In conclusion, switching from
considering quintilles to deciles did not essentially change the
metarankings of the Romanian universities.
