Outline of Final Research Achievements

University evaluation have been of immense important for improving the quality of universities and have a major social impact in recent years. However current evaluation tends to put more attentions to rankings of each university. In addition, it relies greater on bibliometric indicators based on number of publications and their citations, and places less considerations on evaluation of educational activities, which is another important mission of universities. In this study, we put more focus on educational assessment which has less research on so far, to explore the indicators for measuring not only research but also educational activities of universities, and propose methodologies of multidimensional assessment of university for the purpose of diagnoses.
