The knowledge and competencies of the academic staff working in universities, researches, technical infrastructure of the university, social and cultural activities organized at the university affect the education and training, and play an important role in the productivity and success of the university. Different dimensions of these criteria constitute input for university ranking systems published internationally and nationally. Thus, each institution evaluates its position and defines the necessary strategies and targets to be better. Within the national scope, reporting is also made to the upper institutions that they are affiliated with the determined performance indicators. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate and rank the 172 public and foundation universities whose 2018 reports have been published according to the related criteria determined by YÖK and to reveal how these rankings are affected by the selected ranking methods. More than fifty criteria are evaluated by six different multi-criteria decision making methods. The relationships between the rankings obtained by the application of each method are also presented with the relevant statistics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
