The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of performance and forecast the Urmia city universities in university rankings based on data from the WOS database.

The present study is an applied research based on the research goals and a comparative study in terms of research method. The statistical population consisted of all documents (from 1980 to 11/08/2021) indexed in the WOS database and attributed to "Iran". The criterion for analyzing the outputs was the proposed indicators of Incites.

The results showed that 627972 documents have been indexed in the WOS citation database by scientific organizations affiliated to Iran. Urmia University (with 7442 Documents) has the highest number of documents indexed in the WOS. Urmia University of Technology with regards to the indicators of "citation impact", "% Docs Cited", " % Documents in Top 1% ", " % Documents in Top 10% ", " % Documents in Q1 Journals", and " % International Collaborations" shows the best performance. Urmia University of Medical Sciences shows the best performance in " % Industry Collaborations" and " % Domestic Collaborations" indicators. While the Urmia University shows the best performance in the "% Organization only Collaborations" and “% Corresponding Author (2008-2021)" indicators.

The quality of research conducted in Urmia city universities is not appropriate. Their performance was relatively poor in the international, national, and industrial interactions. It seems that the universities need a good strategy in publishing research findings. Considering all these factors, it can be predicted that their ranking in Iran and worldwide would be weak.

The type and quality of educational programs result in higher education marketing. Medical education as well as higher education systems around the world has been dramatic changes. Increase the community's needs, progress, and reform in teaching approach in medical education Caused to revision in most medical school's curriculum. This research was conducted to recognize of top medical school's educational structure in the world. In this descriptive study 100 top universities of the world selected based on Shanghai ranking system that includes Institute of Medical Sciences. Among them universities, medical schools were selected with the highest ranking in their performance. All of data were gathered based on the information available on universities website. Demographic data were analyzed by spss software by applying descriptive statistics. Results showed among the top 100 universities, 47 university medical school performance ratings under 50. Cambridge Medical School Acceptance rate (6/3%) was the highest rate and Johns Hopkins University Medical school was lowest acceptance rate (2%). Evaluation of Educational Curriculum features in 10 top medical schools revealed integrated and competency based curriculum further considered and most of curriculums have been revised. Most of medical schools for excellence in the field of research by giving attention to international ranking system, notice to factors affecting the success of educational structure such as attractive elite students and delivery of various curriculum.

In compatibility with the progress of universities and expansion of knowledge and science around the world، Iran has also had significant academic progress in recent years. However، the vision of Iran for the following decades is very ambitious. Much has to be achieved to reach the highest position in the region in development، economy، science، and technology. This qualitative study was designed to explore the strengths and weaknesses of universities. This qualitative study had three phases. In the first phase، we explored the topic in brain storming sessions. Then، the themes raised in phase one were discussed deeply in unstructured interviews with selective experts around the country. In the last phase، we asked 30 selective academic staff from different medical sciences universities to categorize the issues based on their importance and their solutions using Delphi method. Our findings showed that improvement of international affairs were frequently stressed by our respondents. In this domain، the English skills of academic staff and students، big revision in rules and regulations، and encouraging the establishment of close scientific communication with academic organizations around the world were highlighted. In addition، most respondents believed that problems were understandable، but our main conflicts were in finding applicable solutions and implementing decisions. Our results showed that for a better presentation of Iranian universities in the international environment a new approach to long term reform programs is necessary. In this plan، special attention must be paid to the educational and research infrastructures.

Background and comparison of the academic situation in various national and international universities may be done as ranking. Improving the quality of university education is an integral part of higher education management. Accurate measurement of specific indicators is an essential precondition of access to education systems quality. Current ranking indicators have not been adequately about teaching and the review on the world ranking systems is needed. The current study has been designed and implemented with the aim of explanation and identification of the teaching ranking Criteria in Iran and world universities. Systematic review of the literature for information on the latest events in the world rankings and teaching criteria via systematic searching of the databases, Academic journals and published books, national and international official reports, papers presented at national and international conferences and journals, research and evaluation projects and academic theses, reports and news related to the ranking were done. European University Association has published a report in 2013 that in addition to analysis of the current status of ranking systems, discuss on the new tool and new project of teaching ranking. Teaching Indicators in this project include: expenditure on teaching as a proportion of total expenditure, graduation rate, interdisciplinary of programs, relative graduate unemployment rate, time to degree, investment in laboratories, the proportion of staff with doctorates, the inclusion of issues relevant to employability in the curriculum, computer facilities comprising hardware, internet access, field-specific software and access to computer support, and student gender balance. Assessment of higher education learning outcomes and students satisfactory indicators are mentioned in this project, too. Due to the globalization of education and development of academic institutions, the necessity of academic performance evaluation is shown. Teaching ranking indicators as a mechanism for analyzing the performance of universities and judges about them are important. Collection and delivery of the indicators for promotion of higher education, and achieve a good position in the world rankings, is a small step that can be taken as a prelude to the development of native teaching ranking standards.
