To solve this problem , we propose to generate a comprehensive world university ranking by aggregating existing individual university rankings using Hyperlink- induced topic search algorithm. It is shown that the ag gregated ranking just likes a ‘ cocktail ’ consisting of all the information from individual university rankings and can ef ficiently eliminate the outliers and regional partiality as a “ smoothe r †.
