For comparison, universities take into consideration various rankings that are internationally recognized and publicly shared. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THEWUR) is considered to be one of the most recognized. This study examines five Turkish foundation universities that are in the top 1000 in the THEWUR and are also included in the Report for Higher Education Foundation Institutions published by the Council of Higher Education (CHE) in 2018. In this application, criteria other than those used in THEWUR are used, and these universities are reordered using the EVAMIX method, one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. The rankings obtained are interpreted in comparison with the THEWUR.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTHEWURFoundation UniversitiesEVAMIXCRITIC MethodArticle5301050105710.26449/sssj.1309
