本研究整理並分析我國大學在五大世界大學評比系統中的評比表現，評比數據分別來自上海交大世界大學學術評比、英國泰晤士高等教育世界大學評比、QS世界大學評比、國立臺灣大學世界大學科研論文質量評比，以及美國新聞全球最佳大學評比。臺灣前四名大學的評比結果大致一致，第一名為國立臺灣大學、第二名為國立清華大學、第三名為國立成功大學、第四名為國立交通大學。各評比雖非全然客觀公正或反映大學任務所應包含的面向，仍可做為了解我國大學在世界大學中相對位置的參考，以及根據評比指標作為圖書館提供資源服務的參考方向。

The study described and analyzed the performances of universities in Taiwan in five systems of university rankings, including Academic Ranking of World Universities, Times Higher Education World University Rankings, National Taiwan University Ranking, QS World University Rankings and U.S. News Best Global Universities Rankings. The top four universities in Taiwan generally have consistent rankings across these five systems in 2014, namely, National Taiwan University being ranked first, National Tsing Hua University second, National Cheng Kung University third, and National Chiao Tung University fourth. Although these rankings may neither be fully objective and just in nature, nor representative of what missions or tasks Taiwan universities should accomplish, these rankings provide a reference for the relative places around the world, in which these Taiwan universities have established.
