Times Higher Education World University Rankings is an annual publication of university rankings by Times Higher Education (THE) magazine. It had previously collaborated with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to announce THE–QS World University Rankings from 2004 to 2009 before the partnership was terminated and both started to publish their own league tables. THE chose to co-operate with Thomson Reuters and more recently Elsevier, and created a new ranking system. The publication now comprises the world's overall, subject and reputation rankings, alongside two regional league tables, Asia and BRICS & Emerging Economies. Times Higher Education World University Rankings is considered as one of the most widely observed university measures. It is praised for having a new improved methodology but undermining non-English-instructing institutions and being commercialized are the major criticism.
