THE World University Rankings 2020 THE World University Rankings 2020 OVERALL PERFORMANCE 2020 2020 Rank 401-500 2019 Rank 501-600 In the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2020, Bournemouth University ranked 401-500 (up from 501-600 in 2019 and 601-800 in 2018) out of an increased list 1396 institutions worldwide (an additional 294 institutions since 2018). 1. METHODOLOGY This year’s table is based on the same 13 performance metrics used in previous years, covering a full range of activities including teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The most recent Academic Reputation Survey (run annually) underpins the teaching category and was carried out between November 2018 and March 2019. The 2019 data are combined with the results of the 2018 survey, giving more than 21,000 responses The performance indicators are grouped into five pillars: Teaching (the learning environment); Research (volume, income and reputation); Citations (research influence); International Outlook (staff, students and research); and Industry Income (knowledge transfer). The Pillars are blended in the following proportions: Teaching 30%, Research 30%, Citations 30%, International outlook 7.5%, Industry income 2.5%. This year, the bibliometric data supplier Elsevier examined almost 77.4 million citations to 12.8 million journal articles, article reviews, conference proceedings, books and book chapters published over five years. The data include over 23,400 academic journals indexed by Elsevier’s Scopus database and all indexed publications between 2014 and 2018. The University of Oxford tops the 2020 edition of the rankings for the fourth consecutive year, but most of the country’s other leading institutions have fallen. The University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, UCL, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of Edinburgh – the UK’s next highest-ranked universities – have all dropped by one place. Overall, 18 of the 28 UK institutions ranked in the top 200 of the table have declined since last year. European institutions occupy 79 of the top 200 places; with the UK most-represented (28 institutions) followed by Germany (23) and the Netherlands (11). Further information on the THE World University Rankings may be found at www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings. 2. BU PERFORMANCE BU overall scores have improved in four of the five areas, most notably for Teaching which has seen its score increase by 4.3 since 2019 resulting in an improved ranking of 356th in the table for this measure (up 108 places since 2019, and 663 places since 2018). An increase of 1.1 in BU’s research score since 2019 results in the pillar rank remaining static at 668th and an increase of 3.7 in the citation pillar score results in a 2 place increase in rank to 560th. Disappointingly, a reduction of 0.2 in the pillar score for Industry income has resulted in a steep fall in ranking (down 201 places since 2019 to 1208th). BU’s best performing area remains International Outlook where despite a small increase in pillar score (up 0.3) BU dropped 17 places to 184th in the overall table. 2020 2019 2020 2019 Pillar Data (Weighting) Metric (Weighting) Pillar Score Pillar Rank Pillar Score Pillar Rank Value Score Value Score Teaching reputation (15%) 10 4.4 7.1 3.9 Doctorate awarded to academic staff (6%) 0.11 100 0.09 81.3 Teaching (30%) 33.2 356 28.9 464 Students to academic staff (4.5%) 17.1 42.1 16.5 42.6 Doctorate to bachelor awarded (2.25%) 0.03 31.6 0.02 27.5 Institutional income to academic staff (2.25%) £193,429 31.1 £194,194 30.1 Research reputation (18%) 13.4 3.4 4.6 2 Research (30%) 18.7 668 17.6 668 Publications per staff (6%) - 56.8 - 55.8 Research income to academic staff (6%) £5,037 26.5 £5,997 26.2 Citations (30%) 55.5 560 51.8 562 Citation impact (30%) - 55.5 - 51.8 Percentage of international staff (2.5%) 28.5% 88.1 28% 86.2 International outlook (7.5%) 79.8 184 79.5 167 International co-authorship (2.5%) - 80.3 - 80 Percentage of international students (2.5%) 17.80% 70.9 19% 72.5 Industry income (2.5%) 34.8 1208 35 1007 Industry income to academic staff (2.5%) £431 34.8 £1,198 35 Performance/Rank better than previous year Performance/Rank same as previous year Performance/Rank worse than previous year PRIME | September 2019| 1 Looking at the performance metrics that make up the main pillars, BU has increased its overall score in 10 out of the 13 performance metrics. Three metric scores have declined since 2019 (students to academic staff; down 0.5, percentage of international students; down 1.6, and industry income to academic staff; down 0.2). Two financial metrics additionally decreased in value in 2020; institutional income to academic staff (decreased by £765) and research income to academic staff (decreased by £960) however, this has not translated into a decline in the resulting metric score (up 1.0 and 0.3 respectively). The three metrics which hold the greatest weighting, including two reputational measures, have all shown improved performance at BU since 2019. Teaching reputation (15%) is up 2.9 resulting in an increased score of 4.4 (up 0.5); research reputation (18%) is up 8.8 resulting in an increased score of 3.4 (up 1.4 and finally citation impact (value not available) has an increased score of 55.5 (up 3.7) The following chart shows BU’s performance against all institutions included in the worldwide rankings. BU is marked against the median, quartiles and top and bottom scores for each of the pillars. It should be noted that the top and bottom whiskers in the boxplot denote the highest and lowest data points within the 1.5 inter-quartile ranges of the respective quartiles therefore removing any institutional outliers within the data. The chart illustrates BU’s strong performance within the International Outlook pillar in comparison to all institutions measured in the worldwide data and performance above the median in the Teaching, Research and Citations pillars.

UK PERFORMANCE 2020 Among UK universities, the official ranking places BU joint 49th out of 100, up from joint 59th out of 98 last year. The table below shows BU’s ranked performance amongst the 100 UK institutions. BU has improved its UK ranking in only one pillar in 2020: teaching, up 8 places to 29th. The reduction in BU’s industry income has resulted in a 20 place fall to 75th out of the 10 UK providers, whilst the international outlook pillar has seen a fall of 4 places to 59th and the citations pillar has dropped 1 place to 63rd. The research pillar has remained static, ranking 59th in the UK.

INDICATIVE PERFORMANCE 2020 THE have determined that the group ranked in the 401-500 section of the table achieved an overall score between 38.8 and 42.3 (this group achieved between 37.1 and 41.6 in 2019). In analysing the data used to calculate the overall ranking position it is likely that BU’s score for 2019 was around 39.1, with an indicative rank of 490th (up from an indicative score of 36.3 with an indicative rank of 523rd in 2019, a rise of 33 places.

  • Stacking Chairs: Local Sense and Global Nonsense
    Short and Sweet i-Perception Stacking Chairs: Local Sense January-February 2018, 1–5 ! The Author(s) 2018 DOI: 10.1177/2041669517752372 and Global Nonsense journals.sagepub.com/home/ipe Nicholas E. Scott-Samuel University of Bristol, UK Hiroshi Ashida Kyoto University, Japan P. George Lovell University of Abertay Dundee, School of Social and Health Sciences, UK Tim S. Meese Aston University, School of Life and Health Sciences, Birmingham, UK D. Samuel Schwarzkopf University College London, UK Abstract We report a confusing stimulus which demonstrates the power of local interpretation of three- dimensional structure to disrupt a coherent global perception. Keywords 3D perception, depth, perception, illusion Figure 1 shows a photograph of nine stackable chairs, leaning back at an angle against a wall. For all observers (n ¼ 40þ, recruited ad hoc via Facebook, where the stimulus was displayed), this image elicits confusion. If the number of chairs is reduced below four, the effect disappears. Figure 2(a) is an annotated version of Figure 1. The local interpretation of three-dimensional structure – at each ‘corner’, i.e. AD, BC and EF – is generally unambiguous (apart from AD, which flips in depth in a Necker-cube-like manner for some observers). But the repetition of the stacked elements along the virtual contours AD, BC and, to a lesser extent, EF suggests a change in depth along those lines which does not actually exist. Figure 2(b) makes this explicit: an abstracted version of the image reveals an alternative interpretation, which fails to correspond to reality – the repetitive structure now looks more like a stack of quadrilaterals rising from the ground plane.

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.
