Summary
Hugh Davis Graham and Nancy Diamond employ a novel approach that leads to controversial findings. Moving beyond traditional methods of rating the reputations of universities, they offer instead an empirical analysis of faculty productivity based on research grants and fellowships, published research, and peer citation of published work. Comparing the research achievements of faculty at more than two hundred institutions since the 1960s, Graham and Diamond measure research productivity of entire campuses across academic fields ranging from medicine to humanities, and they analyze data on research activity in per capita terms.
