<p>Just as a heads up for the OP--Academic Analytics is a faculty productivity ranking--it's primarily about measuring how much faculty publish and how much those works are cited in the field. So it's measuring something fairly specific and may not be the kind of ranking you were thinking of. It also bears mentioning that some academics also seriously question the weights it assigns to certain factors.</p>
