A number of annually published rankings employ a range of parameters to evaluate the performance at universities around the world. High rankings reflect and consolidate membership of the international elite of world-class universities and because of the increased international competition for the best students and academic staff, the need for universities to document their own relative and absolute performance is becoming more and more important.
