Abstract

Ranking system is often used as benchmark in determining the quality and standard of the higher education institutions. Quacquarelli-Symonds (QS) is one of the university ranking systems widely known worldwide. QS not only ranked the international universities, but it also has a special ranking for ASEAN universities. In this paper, a study was done of the effect of normalization (implemented by QS since 2016) of scores among the universities by taking into consideration the two main criteria of QS evaluation. These criteria are paper per faculty and citations per paper. The final output of the analysis and the T-test revealed that there were no direct effect between normalization, scores and rankings in the two selected criteria.
