Scopus

Scopus is a scientific abstract and citation database, launched by the academic publisher Elsevier in 2004[13]. Journals in Scopus are reviewed for sufficient quality each year according to four numerical measures: h-Index, CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) and SNIP (source normalized impact per paper).

The journals listed in Scopus are considered to meet the requirement for peer review quality established by several research grant agencies for their grant recipients and by degree-accreditation boards in a number of countries.[14]

World University Rankings

Opinion-based

Several international publications assess the quality of a university by using the weighted average of opinions gathered in surveys, alongside other quantitative measures. Those surveyed typically include members of academia and the business community. These types of rankings include Quacquarelli Symonds's World University Ranking[15], and Times Higher Education World University Ranking[16]

The following table includes Indonesia universities, and their most recent global rank in the aforementioned publications with national rank:

Quantitative-based

Gedung Pusat (Rektorat) UGM

Several institutions and publications have created university rankings whose methodologies rely only on quantitative measures. These rankings use quantitative measures to assess the quality of an institution, such as bibliometrics, or through the number of awards and distinctions accrued by a university's faculty and/or alumni. Quantitative international rankings include the Center for World University Rankings[17].

Several institutions publish rankings that are primarily bibliometric, based on citation analysis. Biblometric rankings specifically evaluate the impact a university has on specialized journals and other academic publications. Bibliometrics is a field of statistics used to provide quantitative analysis of academic literature. Primarily bibliometric rankings include those; CWTS Leiden Ranking[18]. based exclusively on bibliometric indicators by Leiden University in the Netherlands. The Clarivate Analytics bibliographic database Web of Science is used as the source of the publication and citation data. And the University Ranking by Academic Performance[19], published by the Middle East Technical University.

The following table includes Indonesia universities, and their most recent global rank in the aforementioned publications (with national ranks in parentheses):
