DC Technical Report 02/2015 Universities from Australia and New Zealand in the 2015 edition of the Shanghai ranking D. Docampo L. Cram October 24, 2015. Abstract The emergence of international academic rankings is one of the most interesting phenomena in the field of comparative analysis of higher education. The growing influence of the Shanghai ranking led its many critics to show strong reluctance in using it as a source of analysis and improvement, mainly because it was generally thought that its results were not reproducible. Once we have found a way to accurately replicate the results of the ranking, we are in a position to shed light into the performance of whole Higher Education systems. This technical report presents the results of Australian and New Zealand universities in the 2015 edition of the Shanghai ranking. Keywords Academic rankings Shanghai arwu world class universities Australian universities Australia Australian Higher Education System New Zealand universities New Zealand New Zealand Higher Education System 1 Introduction The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) a.k.a the Shanghai Ranking, evaluates the research performance of academic institutions on the basis of numerical measures related to individual outstanding achievements and institutional research throughput. The accessibility of the sources of the raw data and the fact that the hierarchy of universities generated by ARWU roughly aligns with perceptions of the historical and recent performance of elite research universities have contributed to its acceptance and success (Docampo and Cram, 2014). A first hand account of the Shanghai ranking indicators can be found in Liu and Cheng (2005), and is summarized in Section 2 following Docampo (2013). A reliable account of the ranking procedures can be found in Docampo and Cram (2014). For the sake of clarity, a summary of the procedure is also reproduced in section 3.

2 This report analyzes the performance of Higher Education institutions from Australia and New Zealand on the indicators measured by the Shanghai ranking (2015 edition). We have not included three institutions with very small publication counts: Avondale College, Melbourne College of Divinity and the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. To collect the necessary data for the computation of the ARWU raw scores, we have checked the electronic sources shown in Section 4. The list of special affiliation names and Web of Knowledge corresponding clues are shown in Section 5. Section 6 shows the procedure for the computation of the ARWU indicators. It is divided into two subsections, the first one dealing with the basic five indicators and the second one explaining how to compute the composed indicator (PCP). Finally, we present in Section 7 the results of 47 universities from Australia and New Zealand on the Shanghai ranking indicators. Data for the 47 universities under analysis have been estimated using the procedures described in Section 6. 2 ARWU ranking ARWU ranks universities on six indicators of academic performance. Individual indicators Alumni Total number of graduates from an institution winning Nobel Prizes or Fields Medals in Mathematics. Award Total number of the staff working at an institution at the time of winning Nobel prizes in the sciences, or Fields Medals in Mathematics. HiCi An equally weighted combination of two sub-indicators: old HiCi and new Hici, for the Highly cited researchers listed in the 2014 and 2001 version of Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers, respectively 1. For ARWU 2015 the score on the old HiCi was the ARWU 2013 score. The highlycited.com web site indicates that highly cited researchers may change their affiliations monthly by changing their ResearcherID affiliation list. Collective indicators N&S Total number of articles published in Science and Nature in the past five years. PUB Total number of articles indexed by Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social Science Citation Index in the previous year. PCP Total scores of the previous five indicators divided by the number of full-time equivalent academic staff. 3 ARWU ranking methodology ARWU ranks universities individually or into bands by sorting on the total score, i.e. the linearly weighted sum of 6 indicator scores derived from the corresponding raw data by transformations that have been calibrated and explained by Docampo (2013). To produce the annual Shanghai ranking report the following steps are required: 1 http://highlycited.com/

3 1. Assemble new raw data Scan the relevant data sources (see Section 4) for updated information on new Nobel prize winners (every year) and Fields medalists (every four years), new awardees (expected in 2015) and revised affiliations of the current list of HCR for Thompson ISI Highly Cited researchers, and the institutional details of Nature & Science publications and ISI indexed publications in the prior year. Do your best to obtain the institutional FTE (full-time equivalent) faculty numbers used in the calculation of the PCP (per-capita performance) indicator. 2. Assess and determine exceptions Once per decade, rescale indicators for historical Nobel prize winners and Fields medalists according to the decadal aging procedure. Allocate institutions specialized in the humanities and the social sciences to the class that uses special weights to exclude Nature & Science publications. Decide which entire countries and which special institutions will be excluded from the determination of PCP because the relevant values of FTE have not been found. 3. Combine raw data and apply scaling Sum and/or average raw data over the relevant time windows according to the published algorithms. For every indicator other than PCP, multiply each value of the processed raw data by a fixed scaling factor so that Harvard University has a scaled raw score of 10000. Calculate an intermediate quantity for PCP by dividing the weighted sum of the scaled raw scores by the FTE for the California Institute of Technology, and apply a scaling factor so that this intermediate quantity for CalTech is 10000. 4. Compress the scaled raw data For each indicator, including PCP, compress the dynamic range of the scaled raw data by taking its square root to form the indicator score. 5. Calculate the total score and determine ranking/banding Combine the indicator scores using the relevant indicator weights, and linearly rescale so that the total score for Harvard University is 100. Rank institutions by total score, and determine for publication the ranking sequence, the membership of bands, and the excluded institutions. 4 Electronic sources Data were gathered from the following Electronic Sources: Nobel Prize Laureates available at http://nobelprize.org/ Data on Field Medalists available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fields Medal Data on Highly Cited Authors available at http://highlycited.com/ Data on scientific production available at http://www.webofknowledge.com.

According to Thomson Reuters (Thomson Reuters,

4 2013), og names precisely identify research published from a specific organization using the Organization - Enhanced searching to quantify an organizations output including naming variants. We used those og identifiers with most universities, but made special calls in some cases, as shown in Table 1. It is not unlikely that some disambiguation problems with affiliations may still persist, so we warmly invite comments on any apparent errors or uncertainties. Web of Knowledge call oo=australian catholic univ og=(flinders university south australia or flinders univ south australia) oo=monash univ oo=(rmit univ or rmit or rmit univ melbourne) oo=swinburne univ technol og=(university of canterbury or univ canterbury) og=(university of melbourne or univ melbourne or royal children s hospital melbourne) og=(university of notre dame australia or notre dame univ) og=(university of queensland or univ queensland or queensland ctr mental hlth res) og=(university of sydney or univ sydney or sydney med sch) oo=univ tasmania oo=univ technol sydney oo=(univ western australia or uwa or uwa ocean inst) oo=victoria univ and ad=melbourne Table 1: Special cases : WOK organization (oo) or organization-enhanced (og) names 6 Computation of the indicator scores Final scores depend on raw scores, specifically on their ratio: universities to the best performer institution. Hence, the first step is to evaluate those raw scores on the five non composed indicators: Alumni, Award, HICI, S&N and PUB. For a complete account of the computation of raw scores the reader is referred to Docampo (2013). 6.1 Computation of the five basic indicators For the computation of the non composed indicators (Alumni, Staff, HiCi, S&N, and PUB) we need the raw scores of the best performer. Harvard University achieves the maximum score on the five non composed indicators in the 2015 edition of ARWU. Harvard s (approximate in the case of the S&N and PUB indicators) raw scores are exhibited in Table 2. Let us now summarize the precise operations with the raw scores Alumni Award newhici oldhici S&N PUB 38 33.875 100 191 464 16860 Table 2: Harvard University raw scores in 2015 described in steps 4 and 5 of Section 3. Let H be the number of points (raw score) of Harvard on any of the five indicators, and X the number of points achieved by any other institution. Estimated scores are computed through the same formula 2 : X EST = 100 (1) H 2 In the case of the HiCi indicator the equation applies to both the old and new HCR counting separately.

Source: Australian Government, Department of Education. 6.2 PCP computation There is no easy way to access reliable data on equivalent full-time faculty for all the institutions listed in ARWU. However, in the case of Australian universities, there are public and reliable data published by the Department of Education. The number of Full Time Equivalent Academic Staff used in ARWU for Australian universities is computed as the aggregate number of Full Time Equivalent Faculty at the levels above Senior Lecturer and Lecturer (Level C). For the 2015 edition ARWU has apparently made use of FTE data from the following document: Selected Higher Education Statistics Staff 2013 Full-time Equivalence (AUSTRALIAN-GOVERNMENT, 2014).

6 Data from the 39 Australian universities included in the analysis are shown in Table 3, where the acronyms of the three columns stand for: ASL: Full Time Equivalent number of Faculty above Senior Lecturer. LLC: Full Time Equivalent number of Faculty at Lecturer Level C. FTE: Full Time Academic Staff for the calculations of the ARWU data. FTE figures for New Zealand universities have been left unchanged from ARWU 2013 to ARWU 2015. As of the estimation of FTE values for universities not included in the ARWU 500 list we refer the reader to our previous report (Docampo and Cram, 2013). The FTE values are shown in Table 4. Institution year Academic Staff FTE Staff Massey University 2012 1, 072 673 The University of Auckland 2011 2, 050 929 University of Canterbury 2012 690 402 University of Otago 2012 1, 162 406 Victoria University of Wellington 2012 817 463 Auckland University of Technology 2011 1, 070 528 Lincoln University 2012 235 116 University of Waikato 2012 637 314 Table 4: Institutional figures for FTE academic and total staff: universities from New Zealand. Source: Annual reports of New Zealand universities Now, to get the PCP values for all the universities included in the analysis, both from Australia and New Zealand, we first compute the weighted sum of the squares of the estimated scores. The procedure has changed due to the introduction of the old and new Hici sub-indicators, as documented in Docampo et al (2015). In the 2014 and 2015 editions of ARWU, the weighted sum is evaluated through Equation 2; let s call that value WSS. WSS = 0.1 ( Alumni 2 + newhici 2 + oldhici 2) + 0.2 ( Award 2 + N&S 2 + PUB 2) (2) Let s call WSSCT the value of the squared sums for Caltech, the highest score in the indicator PCP. Let FTECT be the Full Time Equivalent Staff of Caltech. To estimate the PCP indicator of the university X, with a Full Academic Staff of FTEX and weighted scores sum of WSSX, the following operation will be carried out: PCP = 100 WSSX FTEX WSSCT FTECT = 100 FTECT WSSX WSSCT FTEX (3) To compute formula 3 we introduce the value of 278 for the FTE Academic Staff of Caltech. In 2015, WSSCT 2657.4, hence we have FTECT W SSX = 0.3236 PCP = 32.36 WSSCT F T EX (4)

7 7 Results We show in Figure 1 the results of the 47 institutions under analysis 3. It is perhaps worth pointing out that the entrance score in ARWU 2015 was close to 9.5. We show in Figure 2 the the 47 institutions ranked by PCP. References AUSTRALIAN-GOVERNMENT (2014) Selected Higher Education Statistics Staff 2013 Full-time Equivalences.
