N2  - This paper counts SCI-level journal publications over the period 1980-2016 to rank higher education institutions in South Korea. First, a league table shows that school competitiveness has changed a lot over time, which largely attributes to a flexible mobility of academic professions in recent decades. Second, counting research productivity, after adjusting for school size, shows significant changes in the university ranking. Third, our university ranking, which is based rigidly upon journal publications, differs from widely cited perception-based rankings, so that policy makers in higher education must be cautious in decision making on educational reforms
