大學排名的影響與洞見

活動介紹 Introduction

排名提供全球研究工作的全面視角，大學則將其作為關鍵表現指標和有效的溝通工具。Elsevier 與泰晤士報高等教育（THE）、Quacquarelli Symonds（QS）、US News、上海軟科教育資訊諮詢公司等多個世界大學排名機構以及遠見雜誌合作，使用 Scopus 和 SciVal 的數據和指標進行排名分析。

除了世界和亞洲大學排名外，泰晤士高等教育於 2019 年推出了與永續發展目標相關的影響力排名，並宣布將於今年秋季與前 Google CEO 施密特科學研究員合作發布全新的跨學科排名 打開新的分頁／視窗。 

M'hamed el Aisati，我們的分析與數據團隊領導者，已有逾十年深度參與排名機構的合作經驗。他即將訪問臺灣，與包括政府及大學在內的研究界關鍵參與者展開深入的交流。訪問期間，他將主持一場研討會，深入探討當前及未來排名計算方法的變革、新推出的跨學科排名，以及透過 Scopus 和 SciVal 對臺灣學校的分析，評估其優勢與面臨的挑戰。 

此外我們特別邀請到遠見雜誌智庫總編輯李建興先生參與本次會議。他將介紹遠見與 Elsevier 合作的臺灣最佳大學排名，說明如何運用 Scopus 與 SciVal 的數據與指標做此排名的依據，同時分享臺灣學校所關注的重點方向及校長們的反饋。 

誠摯地邀請您參加這次研討會，並與專家們互動交流，期待您的參與。

Rankings offer an extensive overview of global research endeavors. Universities utilize ranking results as pivotal performance indicators, leveraging them as potent communication tools. 

Elsevier provides Scopus and SciVal data and metrics for use in the evaluation of research performance in several world university rankings, including Times Higher Education (THE), Quarrelli Simons (QS) US News, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy and GVM’s Taiwanese University Ranking.

In addition to the World University Rankings and Asia University Rankings, THE launched SDGs-related Impact Rankings in 2019, and has recently announced that it will publish an Interdisciplinary Science Rankings this fall in partnership with the Schmidt Science Fellows.

M'hamed el Aisati, who leads our analytical & data team and who has been deeply involved in partnerships with ranking providers for over a decade, will visit Taiwan to engage with relevant stakeholders in the research community including government and funding agencies. During his visit he will also give a workshop on rankings including recent and anticipated methodology changes, the newly anticipated Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 打開新的分頁／視窗 and the analysis of Taiwanese universities using Scopus and SciVal, as well as the strengths and challenges of Taiwanese universities as seen through data analysis of rankings.

Additionally, we have invited Mr. Lee Chien-Hsing, Editor-in-Chief of Global Views Magazine, to participate in this event. He will discuss the collaboration between Global Views Magazine and Elsevier on the Taiwan Best University Ranking, explain how they use data and indicators from Scopus and SciVal as the foundation for the rankings, and share insights into the primary concerns of Taiwanese universities as well as feedback from university presidents.

We very much encourage and welcome your attendance. Next to the relevance of the workshop topics here will be ample time for networking after the event.
