THE Reputation Ranking
This ranking (new in 2012) ranked universities world-wide by reputation alone; only the top 100 institutions are named. The data is here.
This generated some controversy within Ireland, as no Irish institution reached the top 100. See “No Irish universities make top 100 list” (Irish Times 15 March 2012); “University rankings played down” (Irish Times 15 March 2012).
Similarly in 2013, no Irish institution was named.
