A few days ago, U.S.News, known as one of the four famous universities in the world, released the latest list. Among them, the ranking of mathematics subjects shows that the first place in Asia is Qufu Normal University, a provincial university in Shandong Province, surpassing Peking University, which ranks second, and the third place is also a provincial university in Shandong Province, Shandong University of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University, which ranks sixth.

Boy, a little-known two colleges in Shandong actually broke the crown of Peking University School of Mathematics, which is simply a fable, and most netizens are skeptical. What the hell is going on here? In fact, this involves the ranking standard of U.S.News.

The citation of papers by teachers and students in our school can improve the ranking. Since US News and World Report compiled a ranking of American journalism universities, it has been regarded as the authoritative list of world universities by many people, keeping pace with The Times and the Ministry of Soft Science of China. So what are the criteria for judging the ranking of American journalism universities?

From the official website of U.S.News, we can know that its evaluation criteria are mainly divided into the following aspects:

There are 65,438+03 criteria for judging the ranking of American news world universities, among which bibliometrics accounts for the highest proportion, accounting for 65%, followed by reputation metrics, accounting for 25%, and scientific research achievements metrics account for 65,438+00%.

From the listed evaluation criteria, we can find that there are two main indicators that affect the school ranking. The first is the number of papers published by universities. The second is the number of citations of papers published by universities.

Mastering these two points, I actually found that university rankings can be brushed. One is to rely on multiple papers. In terms of publishing papers, as far as mathematics is concerned, it is not easy to publish papers, especially in internationally renowned journals. But if you don't care about the influencing factors and the weight is not important, there is still a lot of room for operation.

The second is to encourage teachers and students in the school to quote papers from each other. In order to increase the number of citations, it is not necessarily how good the paper is, nor how many people approve it. As long as the school encourages teachers and students to quote each other when sending papers and increases the number of citations, the university ranking can be improved.

For this ranking, Qufu Normal University said that this is the behavior of foreign institutions and has nothing to do with our school. I hope everyone will treat it rationally.
