Although many universities use social media to interact with stakeholders, little is known about the underlying mechanisms.

Group of Eight (NJ1), 2012
The current main world university rankings broadly group the leading research universities of nations. Australia's Go8 universities are generally within the top 250 ranked universities, with several institutions in the top 50-100 on some measures. This recognition is commendable, however imperfect the individual rankings may be. Use is made of…
