| Abstract |
The study described and analyzed the performances of universities in Taiwan in five systems of university rankings, including Academic Ranking of World Universities, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, National Taiwan University Ranking, QS World University Rankings and U.S. News Best Global Universities Rankings. The top four universities in Taiwan generally have consistent rankings across these five systems in 2014, namely, National Taiwan University being ranked first, National Tsing Hua University second, National Cheng Kung University third, and National Chiao Tung University fourth. Although these rankings may neither be fully objective and just in nature, nor representative of what missions or tasks Taiwan universities should accomplish, these rankings provide a reference for the relative places around the world, in which these Taiwan universities have established.
