Rankings of higher education institutions: A critical review [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The article discusses the methodologies involved in ranking the quality of higher education institutions in the U.S. and Great Britain. It describes how rankings by such media outlets as "U.S. News & World Report" are taking on greater prominence and having greater effect on the academic life of colleges and universities. The author compares and contrasts critical reviews of the processes involved in developing the rankings, discussing how external factors such as publicity, student choice, and the marketization of academia have affected the ranking process.
