Abstract
Since
2012, University of Belgrade (UB) has been ranked among the 500 best
universities in the world on the prestigious Academic Ranking of World
Universities (ARWU) list, also known as Shanghai list. These top 500
universities represent only 2% of all universities in the world.
According to the most recent global ranking done in 2015, UB ranks
between 201 and 300 place, and is the best ranked university in
Southeast Europe.
UB consists of 31 faculties and 11 research institutes and each of
these institutions in its own way contributes to the overall achieved
position of UB on the ARWU list. This paper analyzes the impact of its
certain faculties on the UB’s ranking position through a number of
papers indexed in Science Citation Index - SCIe and SSCI, the number of
citations and the number of citations per paper and per researcher for
the period 2011 - 2015. For data processing multi-criteria decision
making method PROMETHEE-GAIA, was used. Obtained results revealed four
clusters of faculties such as faculties – with the greatest impact,
with a significant impact, medium and low impact on the overall ranking
result on ARWU list.
