We were also asked to propose solutions to these issues. As an expert group, we focus mainly on so-called league tables in the present opinion. These are one-dimensional university rankings that claim to reflect the overall performance of a university.\n\nOur opinion shows that league tables are unjustified in claiming to be able to sum up a university’s performance in the broadest sense in a single\nscore. There is no universally accepted criterion for quantifying a university’s overall performance, and a generic weighing tool cannot do justice to a\nuniversity’s strategic choice to excel in specific areas. Research, education, and impact achievements cannot be meaningfully combined to produce a one-dimensional overall score. Any attempt to do so will run into arbitrary and debatable decisions about how performance in these three core tasks should be weighted. Is research more important than education? Or is it the other\nway around? When a weighting system is applied that emphasises one of those core tasks, universities that excel in a different task are disadvantaged."}}]},{"typeName":"subject","multiple":true,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":["Other"]},{"typeName":"keyword","multiple":true,"typeClass":"compound","value":[{"keywordValue":{"typeName":"keywordValue","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"University rankings League tables"}}]},{"typeName":"depositor","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"(UNL), Universiteiten van Nederland"},{"typeName":"dateOfDeposit","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"2023-06-29"}]},"dansRights":{"displayName":"Rights Metadata","name":"dansRights","fields":[{"typeName":"dansRightsHolder","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["Universiteiten van Nederland"]},{"typeName":"dansPersonalDataPresent","multiple":false,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":"No"},{"typeName":"dansMetadataLanguage","multiple":true,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":["English"]}]},"dansRelationMetadata":{"displayName":"Relation Metadata","name":"dansRelationMetadata","fields":[{"typeName":"dansAudience","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["https://www.narcis.nl/classification/D10000"],"expandedvalue":[{"@id":"https://www.narcis.nl/classification/D10000","termName":[{"lang":"en","value":"Science and technology"},{"lang":"nl","value":"Natuurwetenschappen en techniek"}],"vocabularyUri":"https://www.narcis.nl/classification/"}]}]},"dansDataVaultMetadata":{"displayName":"Data Vault Metadata","name":"dansDataVaultMetadata","fields":[{"typeName":"dansDataversePid","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"doi:10.17026/SS/XGDX0H"},{"typeName":"dansDataversePidVersion","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"1.0"},{"typeName":"dansBagId","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"urn:uuid:7d9f6147-a02f-4081-8ebb-5bbd2418a367"},{"typeName":"dansNbn","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-83fc406e-40c4-405a-929c-89f588dd406a"}]}},"files":[{"description":"Dit adviesdocument laat zien dat league tables ten onrechte pretenderen de prestaties van een universiteit in de meest ruime zin te kunnen samenvatten in één enkel getal.
