Distinguishing features of the ScholarGPS institutional ranking methodology_

SCHOLARGPS FEATURE ELABORATION
Academic and Non-Academic Institutions are Ranked Rankings are available for academic institutions only, for non-academic institutions only, and for academic and non-academic institutions combined.
Unique Ranking Philosophy Institutions are ranked based on the number of outstanding scholars who, by their productivity, impact, and quality, are primarily responsible for the global scholarly reputation of the institution.
Purely Quantitative Assessment Rankings are based soley on the factual publication records of the scholars within the institution compared to the publication records of scholars at all institutions.
No Self-Citations and Weighted Authorship Self-citations are excluded. Numbers of publications, citations, and the h-index are weighted by the number of authors.
Fine Granularity of Subject Matter Rankings Rankings of academic institutions are available in four categories: (i) Overall (including all Fields), (ii) in each of 14 distinct Fields, (iii) in each of 177 distinct Disciplines, and (iv) in each of over 350,000 Specialties. Specialties are updated regularly to accommodate emerging subject matter areas.
Productivity, Quality, and Impact of Active, Outstanding Scholars Institutional rankings are based on the productivity (publication count), impact (citation count), and quality (h-index) of active (published at least once in the last five years) scholars whose ScholarGPS Ranks exceed those of 99.5% of scholars in their Disciplines, S < 0.5%.
Fair Comparison across Fields, Disciplines, and Specialties Institutional Field, Discipline, and Specialty rankings are based on the productivity, quality, and impact of scholars within the Field, Discipline, and Specialty. For example, scholars in Discipline A are compared only to scholars in Discipline A for ranking purposes, and not compared to scholars in Discipline B.
Lifetime and Last-Five-Year Rankings are Conducted The same ranking methodology is applied to both (i) lifetime publications of active scholars in the institution and (ii) only publications appearing in the last five years permitting both Lifetime and Last-Five-Year institutional rankings and investigation of historical ranking trends.
Open Access to Scholars Scholars are permitted to curate their publication lists, and correct the Discipline with which they are associated, thus ensuring the veracity of their own ranking and, in turn the ranking of their institution.
No Institutional input or Curation is Required Institutions do not need to provide any information to ScholarGPS.
