According to experts, the use of the world's leading scientific database (ISI), an objective assessment by a scientific organization makes URAP one of the most reliable university rankings.

According to Dr. Le Van Ut, Head of Office for Scientific and Technological Development Management of Ton Duc Thang University, URAP uses a set of scientific and objective evaluation criteria, not only the number of scientific publications but the quality of scientific works is also prioritized.

This ranking does not emphasize 'confidential vote' by the expert who is being picked up or the criteria for the choice of expert, whether the selected expert understands and evaluates the universities objectively or not… as the way of other current rankings in the world.

Annually, the world university ranking agencies respectively publish the list of the best universities for students worldwide. Each organization evaluates according to its own criteria. Some universities have stable rankings over many years while others have continuous changes in their rankings.

Nowadays, there are approximately 20000 universities all over the world.
