Abstract |
|
|
| Regardless of the multiplicity of criticisms that academic rankings receive, they could position themselves before multiple interest groups as tools that collaborate with the universities transparency, providing, at the same time, relevant information for the decision-making process. This research analyzes Chilean universities performance trends in three of the best-known international rankings. An exploratory study is carried out with analytical, descriptive, and comparative perspectives using secondary sources of information. The emergence of three groups of universities can be appreciated: one that is consolidating positively in the international rankings, one of them achieving a place in the worlds top 200 in some of the measurements; another that is being forged as entities of excellence at the regional level; and a last one with incipient participation in the lists.
