| Abstract Over the past ten years, the focus of Egyptian universities' interest has been the academic ranking among international universities, although there are many scientific elements that need designing an academic ranking for the Egyptian universities undergo the supervision of the Supreme Council of Universities. With the importance of international rankings such as QS, Shanghai, the New Times Rankings, and other rankings subject to the criteria of specific countries in terms of evaluating the quality of university performance, the focus of attention to having a ranking for the Egyptian universities will achieve competitiveness among Egyptian universities. It also sheds the light on Arab academic studies, which were hindered by the challenge of the English language in front of many distinguished researchers within the university system, which could reveal the importance of their studies and explorations through the expression in the mother tongue of the Egyptian society, which is Arabic language. So, the current study aims to clarify the importance of the academic university rankings for each country according to the cultural and social context that governs each country. Therefore, the researcher relied on knowing the opinion of the other researchers and experts regarding the importance of a local academic ranking with international standards. The sample of the opinion poll was 25 male and female researchers from various universities. The researcher also prepared a map of the academic ranking of Egyptian universities based on a set of indicators that are consistent with the Egyptian context. The study ended with a set of expected scenarios when activating the map of academic rankings within the Egyptian community. | ||
