Today, there are eleven global rankings, experiencing varying degrees of popularity, reliability and trustworthiness, and national rankings in over 40 countries. They are often equated with quality, and are now a significant factor shaping institutional reputation. University rankings have gained popularity worldwide because they appear to fulfil demands by students, parents, policymakers, employers, and other stakeholders for information and transparency. Web-based tools to easily compare institutional research productivity and impact D Competing citation indices were created: Elsevier's Scopus (released in 2004) and Google Scholar (beta version released in 2004). In 2002, Thomson Reuters launched an integrated web platform, making the Web of Science database widely accessible. Before 2000, there was the Science Citation Index on CD-ROM from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), used by experts for specialist analyses. Lately, metrics related to social usage advice on, good practice and interpretation. Interest in the journal impact factor grew steadily after 1995 (see 'Impact-factor obsession'). In 2005, Jorge Hirsch, a physicist at the University of California, San Diego, proposed the h-index, popularizing citation counting for individual researchers.

were introduced, such as InCites (using the Web of Science) and SciVal (using Scopus), as well as software to analyse individual citation profiles using Google Scholar (Publish or Perish, released in 2007). Use these ten principles to guide research evaluation, urge Diana Hicks, Paul Wouters and colleagues. After considering the potential impact of changes in the higher education and technical environments on the three tiers of organisational intelligence and comparing these impacts on the McLaughlin & Howard’s information support circle, new knowledge and skillsets that will be required from institutional researchers were identified that will be required to empower institutional researchers to provide relevant and contextual information in support of evidence-based decision making in their institutions.

In order to identify the perceived gap, this was compared with identified needs of the SAAIR members, professional development opportunities provided by the SAAIR and delegate feedback on these events. Terenzini’s three tiers of organizational intelligence, the classification of IR offices according to size, and the analytic maturity of the institutional research offices and their institutions were used as point of departure. Professional development of the knowledge and expertise of institutional researchers is pivotal to achieve effective institutional research practice.
