Duke beats Princeton, Yale and Cambridge on the 2014 Reuters Highly Cited Researchers list!

<p>32 Duke professors made the cut.</p>

<p>Princeton can boast 27 'winners'.
Yale has 21 and the University of Cambridge is home to 23. </p>

<p>Just fyi, Duke beat every Ivy except Harvard. The only US schools that have more professors on the list appear to be Harvard, Stanford, MIT and Berkeley. </p>

<p>Link?</p>

<p>I should have provided that. My bad. </p>

<p>This will have tremendous repercussions for Duke’s international ranking in the coming years (ARWU and THE use it as an important metric). </p>

<p>Combine this with Duke’s relatively small aggregate student enrollment (about 14K, undergraduate, graduate and professional). </p>

<p>The ranking serves as testament to the sheer quality of Duke’s professors. We can’t afford to become complacent though. Specially when schools like USC, Chicago and Hopkins are on the offensive (raising billions of dollars and marketing their brands very aggressively). It is imperative that we do our utmost to keep pace with them.</p>

<p>This is truly impressive from duke but I am also pleased with how uk universities performed in terms of research. Imperial college london has 21 highly cited researchers equal to that of yale, Oxford has 32 researchers and is tied with duke, Cambridge has 23, University college london has 14 with 5 of the highly cited researchers in neuroscience showing clear proof that they are among the best in the subject. Although our universities have small endowments(excluding Oxbridge) they receive no shortage in research income UCL and imperial for instance spend around £330 million to £415 million pounds on research each year. This equates at the current exchange rate to $600 million - $700 million annually. They receive more research income than Oxbridge. They only work with $160 million endowments an are very efficient, they also receive budgets around $2 billion dollars a lot less than the research powerhouses in the us yet can still compete with the best. I personally have never seen ucl rank out the top 20 in any of the major rankings yet is still seen as an average college by most us students in this forum since they mostly see uk universities as inferior compared to the us.</p>
