Items related to The Ssci Syndrome in Higher Education: A Local or Global...
As a result of the world class university rankings, many governments adopt public incentives and sanctions to push universities to excel. Above all, the better faculty research publication in SSCI and SCI journals, the more resources and social prestige universities will obtain. This timely book attempts to relate these dilemmas in Taiwan to many non-English speaking counterparts which also struggle with the worldwide SSCI syndrome.

Review:
"As Taiwan's higher education system, similar to that of some other countries, has been recently devastated by the SSCI-based quantitative evaluations of academic performance in terms of its adverse impacts on the balances between teaching vs. research; qualitative vs. quantitative evaluations; globally oriented, English vs. locally oriented, non-English publications; and publications in academic journals vs. books, The SSCI Syndrome in Higher Education is a long overdue study that offers a systematic, comprehensive coverage of the above-mentioned SSCI syndrome on the dynamics of Taiwan's academe. This book definitely helps fill an important gap in the literature on Taiwan's higher education system." --Tsung Chi, Professor of Politics, Occidental College, USA
"Prudence Chou's book addresses an academy on crisis caused by the ceaseless hype over university rankings. It further confirms that who comes out on top depends on who is doing the ranking. To save the heart and soul out of the Taiwanese academy, this book makes a cogent argument for culturally-responsive research in the social sciences and humanities." --Gerard A. Postiglione, Professor and Head, Division of Policy, Administration and Social Sciences, Director, Wah Ching Center of Research on Education in China, The University of Hong Kong
