Plus, the measurement is based on journal articles from commercial databases (eg: Scopus). Those databases index have language bias. On the other hand, we are lacking of national level scientific database that provide dataset for those rankings to process.

All rankings measure the following components, which all of them contain level of bias:

• Teaching (the learning environment): international students vs large amount of internal high school graduates
• Research (volume, income and reputation): high profile research vs "low level" research to solve internal national problem
• Citations (research influence): only based on commercial database with language bias
• International outlook (staff, students and research): lack of national data (eg: tracer study) to share with those ranking, international vs national issues
• Industry income (knowledge transfer): this is mostly controlled by economical situation, which the universities have no control.

and not to mention it drives external economical-social setting eg: labour market, top university labeling in the mind of parents, etc.

For less economically stable countries (eg Indonesia), many indicators are very much controlled by national level situations (regulations, funding), geographical settings, and the large sum of high school graduates to enter undergraduate degree. On the contrary, all rankings only relevant for graduate research.

AUPresses thinks more readers should be aware of the work they’re doing. That’s why during the organization’s annual University Press Week, it launched a reading list it’s calling READ. THINK. ACT., a list of 75 peer-reviewed books designed to help non-academic readers understand the world and work to make it a better place.

This is a remarkable letter from the Dean's office assigning responsibility to a young professor at OSU to head a committee to oversee the relocation of Axis-related college students in the Pacific Northwest and listing institutions that might accept Japanese American college students. Although Italian and German students are named, only the Nisei relocation is "imminent" (and, presumably, the only one that actually occurred). I wonder how the tuition arrangements were to be made, particularly for those who had scholarships, or were paying state school tuition but were being transferred to a private college?
