14 REFINEMENT TIMELINE The initial model was developed in Elsevier Renewal Revised model correcting for language reality modelled and proposed to QS global advisory board. Meets strong positive support. 03 Changes Adopted 04 Simultaneous publication across channels and partners. Press and social media campaigns initiated 05 August 2014 after the initial idea to use faculty areas emerged Revised Model Following Advisory Board engagement new approach is adopted and folded into new rankings analysis Publish Eureka!? Renewed partnership with Elsevier helps Key communication 14 Initial Model develop even stronger understanding of and access to Scopus data milestones
