Malaysian universities are undergoing an education revolution in order to become centers for academic excellence. In order to achieve this, several Research Universities (RUs) has been established to drive research & development, commercialization and production of postgraduates. The Malaysian University Research Assessment Instrument (MyRA) is an assessment method used to evaluate the performance of current RUs, as well as other universities vying to become one. The amount of data to be organized is vast; therefore an information system based on MyRA needs to be developed in order to organize the data more efficiently. This paper presents an Entity-Relationship analysis for such a system. The analysis can be used to guide the development of an information system to cater for MyRA evaluation.

“…The government categorises an HEI to be an Apex University when it is deemed as being of the highest national standard in education and worthy of competition on the world stage (Khalid, 2008). The Federal Government has recognised USM as an Apex (Accelerated Programme for Excellence) University in 27 August 2008 (Morni, Talip, Bujang, & Jusoff, 2009;Nordin, 2008).…”

This paper aims to investigate the impact of Federal Government policy on the categorisation of Malaysian public universities. The results of a quantitative survey questionnaire for major data collection and qualitative focus group interviews confirm that the initiative have an impact on research and teaching activities in Malaysian public universities. It can be concluded that the categorisation of Malaysian public universities play an important role in the development of research and teaching with greater focus on the university core functions. By utilising the results, the most important implications of this research relate to the practical aspects of the administration of public universities in Malaysia particularly during the government funding reforms. Finally, the researchers believe that the categorisation of Malaysian public universities is a rich and complex subject that offers many opportunities for future research including the comparative edge of Research/Apex Universities over other universities.
