GRUP serves as a benchmarking tool and allows users to view and compare statistics on the 40 indicators (13 indicators about Students, 9 indicators about Faculty, 13 indicators about Resource and 5 ARWU indicators) for universities in different rank ranges and/or in different regions/countries. It not only provides comprehensive and quantitative descriptions of world leading research universities, but also helps universities to identify their advantages and disadvantages as compared to those of their concern.
