World University Ranking 2004
Shanghai Jiao Tong University has published a academic ranking of the universities all over the world. It also published the ranking for universities in America, Europe and Asia. The ranking is geared to enable universities to be compared and identified worldwide by their academic or research performance. The website states:
We rank universities by several indicators of academic or research performance, including Nobel laureates, highly cited researchers, articles published in Nature and Science, articles in Science Citation Index-expanded and Social Science Citation Index, and academic performance per faculty.
Only four European universities and one Asian university are in the top 20, the rest are American universities (surprise! surprise!!).
I scanned the top 500 list, I found that there were only 4 universities from Africa, all from South Africa.

You can read what I thought about it. Which I must say - was very strong.
The ranking was always going to cause some controversy. If it is any consolation, there was no university from Nigeria.
what else would u expect right?
lmao.. great consolation Remi.. *rolleyes*
Yes, I quite forgot that that is ur home country..
hey sorry i didn’t get back to you about the story on gay marriages..been ‘quite’ busy..and all over…i’m assuming by now you would have googled it…and should know the scoop? or do i still need to come through with the rest of the story
nk, I have gathered the gist of the situation now. Thanks for getting back to me.
your ranking is bullshit!
Remi hichi li you two are right. Too much politics. Listen carefully. The reason why the university wants to publish this ranking is to foster communication between everybody. Jiao tong means communication or traffic in Chinese. Think. Think. Think. Think. The gundam wing song just wild beat communication.
not realiable
WHich of our Nigerian Universities would deserve to be on the top-500 list? UNAAB? UNILAG? UNIBEN? OAU-Ife? UI? some-other-one-I-know-not?
