So they created

So they created rankings that are very scientifically oriented, engineering oriented, very connected. Very much based on publication citation index's, things like that. The following year the British publication called Times Higher Education; they used to have the word supplement on the end, they created rankings as well. Quite different. Much more survey based, both of
That would be a great project for a smart bunch of people like you.

how should you rank the presidents, by what criteria, by what categories, and the end result is always the same. The rankings always come out to be basically the same from person to person to person. This, when you think about it, is not that surprising.
And in this case it was great, I was on the side lines, it wasn't my fight, you know but I got to see how the same dynamic was going on.

The Shanghai rankings have a measure of how many Nobel winners you have on your faculty.
And then again, we rank the final two nodes with the remaining numbers. But what about this ranking ? We split the graph the same, but the rankings within the same cut are all swapped around.
