Ranking Regime and the Future of Vernacular Scholarship

Abstract: Abstract:World university rankings and their global popularity present a number of farreaching impacts for vernacular scholarship. This article employs a multidimensional approach to analyze the ranking regime's threat to local scholarship and knowledge construction through a study of Japanese research universities.

Next, the use of bibliometric indicators in performance assessment, a critical consequence o… Show more
