The world¡¯s largest invitation-only academic opinion survey,?Times ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø¡¯s global Academic Reputation Survey, is?being launched?in early November.

The Academic Reputation Survey 2025, available in 12 languages, will be distributed by?THE?and use benchmark data as a guide to ensure that the response coverage is as representative of world scholarship as possible.?

The annual questionnaire targets only experienced, published scholars, who offer their views on excellence in research and teaching within their disciplines and at institutions with which they are familiar. Invitations will be spread across a three-month period. The survey results will help fuel?THE¡¯s series of rankings in 2025.?

Scholars are asked to use their discipline-specific knowledge to name up to 15 universities that they believe are the best in both research and teaching. The survey, which typically takes up to 15 minutes to complete, will close on 31 January 2025.

Detailed analysis will be published in the next iteration of THE¡¯s reputation-focused rankings in 2025. Last year¡¯s survey had?more than 55,000 respondents from 193 countries.

The survey data from 2024 and 2025 will also be used alongside at least 15 objective indicators to help create the?THE?World University Rankings 2026, to be published in late 2025, and all WUR subsidiary rankings.
