Not a single Indonesian university has penetrated the top 500 in the 2019 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Furthermore, the University of Indonesia and the Bandung Institute of Technology are the only institutions with quality research to be included in the top 1,000.

Why has this happened? This data does not necessarily mean that the quality of research at higher education institutions in Indonesia is declining, as the volume of internationally published papers has been increasing. However, the rate at which the quality of higher education research has been improving in other countries is much faster, so that China, for example, has 70 universities ranked among the world\'s best 1,000 universities, followed by India (33 universities), Malaysia (10 universities) and Thailand (5 universities).
