Released every Fall, ‘KUBS World Business Research Ranking’ assesses research performance of business schools in the world, based on 40 thousand publications by 86 business journals. The institutions are ranked in the order of its comprehensive index, which involves worldwide rankings, rankings by academic area, rankings by journals. KUBS Ranking assesses seven academic areas in business including Accounting Finance Management Management Information Systems Marketing Operations Management & Management Science (OM/MS) International Business (IB) & Strategy. This year, the Ranking of 300 universities was released based on publications during the five years from 2013 to 2017, with a comprehensive score reflecting the number of authors and the institutions.
 
Whereas the UTD Business School Research Rankings adopts the weighted value on 24 American journals, KUBS Ranking evaluates the world’s business schools without adopting weighted value by region, through which unbiased assessment is possible.
 
Dean Soo Young Kwon commented that “KUBS Ranking has become one of the most reliable rankings by adopting cumulative database of renowned business journals.” “I expect KUBS Ranking will be widely recognized as a reliable indicator that reflects academic performance of top business schools across the world.”
