- jval 14y agoPretty sure 'Academic Peer Review' is just asking other academics what they think of the university. Which essentially makes this a marketing/branding game by the sounds of things. I have no idea why it is weighted so heavily. Presumably most students care about where employers hire from, and most researchers care about citations/research impact. Shrug.
