Resumo: Through the last ten years, world university rankings became very significant. The great value achieved lead them to a powerful role where they have influence over policies, evaluative processes, investment decisions and institutional reorganization. Thus, this study aims to analyze the performance of brazilian universities in three of the main global university rankings ARWU; THE and QS. This research revealed that Brazilian universities achieved better scores in indicators such as number of publications and academic and employer reputation. The lowest scores were obtained in the measuring impact indicators through highly cited publications, an indicator which usually it’s of high concern in most rankings. It was concluded that in spite of these results, it’s important to acknowledge that in general, most global rankings are homogenizing, and therefore, there are many peculiarities, nuances and pockets of excellence in specific areas that are not captured by international rankings when institutions are evaluated as a whole.

Com isso, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o desempenho das universidades brasileiras em três dos principais rankings internacionais: ARWU; THE e QS. A análise revelou que as universidades brasileiras destacam-se por sua pontuação no indicador volume de publicações e em alguns casos também no indicador reputação entre acadêmicos e empregadores. Pontuações mais baixas foram obtidas nos indicadores que medem impacto por meio de publicações altamente citadas, indicador que costuma ter alto peso na maioria dos rankings. Conclui-se que apesar desses resultados é importante considerar que as classificações internacionais são, de modo geral, homogeneizadoras, de maneira que muitas particularidades, nuances e bolsões de excelência em áreas específicas não são capturados pelos rankings internacionais quando as instituições são avaliadas como um todo.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Faculdade de Biblioteconomia e Comunicação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação (Porto Alegre/RS)2016-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/EmQuestao/article/view/5621310.19132/1808-5245222.186-219Em Questão; v.22, n.2, mai/ago. 2016; 186-219Em Questão; v.22, n.2, mai/ago. 2016; 186-219Em Questão; v.22, n.2, mai/ago. 2016; 186-2191808-52451807-8893reponame:Em Questão (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/EmQuestao/article/view/56213/37992Copyright (c) 2016 Solange Maria Santos, Daisy Pires Noronhahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Solange MariaNoronha, Daisy Pires2024-03-18T16:04:02Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/56213Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/emquestao/PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/EmQuestao/oaiemquestao@ufrgs.br||emquestao@ufrgs.br1808-52451807-8893opendoar:2024-03-18T16:04:02Em Questão (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
