Based on the 4 principal research-performance criteria in 28 national universities in Korea, both cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling are performed in this paper. We can classify and/or specialize the initially unknown groups into a group of relatively homogeneous universities and then create new groupings without any preconceived notion of what clusters may arise. Furthermore, the level of similarity of individual universities can be visualized on the multidimensional space so that each university is then assigned coordinates in each of the 2 dimensions. Both types and characteristics of each university can be relatively evaluated and be practically exploited for the policy of the university authority through these results.
