Abstract: Since the 2000s, university rankings have played an increasingly important role in the governance of higher education and scientific research. They influence public policy, institutional strategies, and academic mobility. This article provides a literature review on the concept of university rankings, comparing the main international models (ARWU, QS, THE, Leiden Ranking) with systems specific to the Global South, notably those of the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), the African and Malagasy Council for Higher Education (CAMES), and the Qualis system of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) in Brazil. The methodology is based on a structured literature review using Boolean operators in academic and institutional databases, followed by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results reveal that in Haiti, the only available rankings come from nongovernmental initiatives (CRISH and then Le Scientifique, 2020–2025), in the absence of a national system. The article highlights the need for a national research fund, addresses issues related to article processing charges (APCs), the h-index of faculty researchers, open science, and Diamond journals, as well as the essential role of science communication, mediation, and ethics in research. Finally, it proposes concrete courses of action for ANESRS in its regulatory role.
