Global Reputation · 2026/27 partner packages
Put your research in front of the academics in your chosen subjects. Three subject email features over three months, one a month, sent only to the academics in the subjects you choose. Each send features five universities from around the world, so your research sits among global peers in front of the academics who know your field best.
The opportunity
The academic reputation survey season runs broadly from November to February, when the major global rankings ask academics worldwide to name the institutions they rate most highly. Over 275,000 academic contacts receive every GRP newsletter feature, in the weeks after the Research Collaboration Index launch.
Partner case study
A Russell Group partner has worked with GRP since 2024. Read against its peer group rather than in isolation, its Academic Reputation has strengthened faster than the Russell Group average.

This case study reflects the success of a GRP partner and does not promise an improvement in ranking performance across THE, QS or any other global ranking indicator.
Every newsletter feature now goes to over 275,000 academic contacts. The July 2026 edition, audited from GRP's campaign analytics, shows the kind of edition a single feature is placed inside. The 44.97% unique open rate compares against an academic-sector email benchmark of around 28%.
Credibility, now
The Research Collaboration Index launched on 15 September 2026: the first global ranking of how universities collaborate, covering 1,195 universities in 81 countries, with 26 subject rankings, built from the open scholarly record for 2021 to 2025.

What is included
Platinum Partnership and Gold Partnership are names of editorial and reach packages. They are separate from the Research Collaboration Index and its Platinum, Gold and Silver standing bands, and no package has any effect on any university's RCI standing, band, rank, score or award.
Audience by subject
Subscribers per subject send, from GRP's audience of over 275,000 academic contacts (2026-09-28). Each academic contact is counted in at most 3 subjects (their strongest three), and every subject send reaches at least 3,450 subscribers. Subject figures add up to 432,550 placements across the 275,000 contacts, 1.57 per contact, within the three-subject cap. Choose up to three subjects, or a whole faculty; every send is de-duplicated.
