University ranking in the US based on scholarly productivity

The Chronicle of Higher Education has published an interactive ranking of Departments with Ph.D. programs in US Universities. The ranking is based on what is termed Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index and is available for 2007 and for 2006. The 2007 index compiles overall institutional rankings on 375 universities that offer the Ph.D. degree. The index examines faculty members who are listed on each Ph.D. program's Web site, and includes a total of 217,254 names. The faculty's scholarly productivity in each program is expressed as a z-score, that reveals how far and in what direction a value is from the mean. ( A z-score of zero indicates that the program is at the national mean for the discipline).

The 2007 index for Statistics Departments is as follows:

1 Stanford U. 1.91 2 U. of California at Berkeley 1.77 3 Duke U. 1.68 4 U. of Wisconsin at Madison 1.55 5 Harvard U. 1.47 6 Carnegie Mellon U. 1.33 7 U. of Washington 1.16 8 Columbia U. 1.15 9 U. of Michigan at Ann Arbor 1.09 10 Yale U. 1.08
