QS announces Date
Times Higher Education have already announced that their World University Rankings will be published on September 16th.
This morning QS indicated on their topuniversities site that theirs will be out on September 8th.
It seems to have escaped you attention, but the Leiden ranking has been updated. Most notoriously the have added a long overdue new indicator which seems to be more fair, the so called MNCS2 indicator. The gentleman are involved in a scientific dispute on the way how to aggregate single values. Next Staurday van Raan is going to defend his indicators at his farewell conference STI 2010. I think that's the reason they have published the new rankings. http://www.socialsciences.leiden.edu/cwts/products-services/leiden-ranking-2010-cwts/ the old ranking ccan still be found at http://www.cwts.nl/ranking/LeidenRankingWebSite.html
