Research and Scholarship Ranking

Research and scholarship reflect fundamental missions of universities, particularly those offering graduate degrees. The research productivity of an institution is reflected by its federal grant function and the number of Ph.D. degrees it offers. Faculty scholarship is best measured through citation analysis: how often is their research recognized by other scholars. For more see details.
