In this paper, the theoretical framework for a novel method of Distance Based Analysis (DBA) is presented. In addition, the method is performed on a sample of the ARWU’s top 54 Universities of the United States; the findings of which clearly demonstrate that the best ranked Universities are far from also being the most efficient. }, journal = {International Journal of Educational and Pedagogical Sciences}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, year = {2014}, pages = {569 - 574}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997575}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/86}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 86, 2014}, }
