<p>OP,</p>
<p>Northwestern should be #6 on your list.</p>
<p>@dividerofzero Your list is incorrect. Northwestern only had 28 researchers on the list. Duke had 32. Harvard doesn’t have 146 researchers on the list. </p>
<p>@Misanthrope1 The numbers are slightly higher because I counted both primary and secondary affiliations.</p>
<p>@ChaChaanTeng You are correct. Michigan actually has more researchers on the list than Northwestern does, but it is not included in the USNWR’s top 25. </p>
<p>@dividerofzero </p>
<p>It seems like you have included data for secondary appointments. Your list is still incorrect because including secondary appointments brings Northwestern up to 30 whereas Duke has 32 researchers on the list.</p>
<p>@Misanthrope1 Yeah; I searched for “Duke University, USA” in “all” and it missed the ones from DTMI and DCRI.</p>
<p>^ It’s all good. I’ll repost with the change. </p>

<p>Can somebody order this by percentages?</p>
<p>UCSD has 29, why is it not on this list?
UCLA has 26
UCB has 42
Your number is off for some reason.</p>
<p>@DrGoogle This list isn’t the top 25 by HiCi researchers. Otherwise schools with just 3 HiCi’s wouldn’t be in the top 25. These are the US News top 25 (27, since there’s a 5-way tie on #23) ranked by HiCi’s.</p>
<p>I counted both primary and secondary affiliations using the search box in the top left. Numbers will still be off because some Berkeley HiCi’s aren’t listed under “University of California, Berkeley, USA” (or something similar with another college).</p>
<p>The title does not say US news. I only counted primaries.</p>
<p>Oh, my little list was USNWR (which was stated at the top of my comment). OP went through and ranked colleges he considers “Ivy Plus.”</p>
<p>I’m surprised that Yale has so few highly cited researchers. That’s kind of a surprise.</p>
<p>@ennisthemenace It’s partially because HiCi’s are just the top 1%. Adjusting it to top 10% might make a difference in these rankings. Plus Yale’s better known for undergrad and Law than for high levels of grad research across many fields. Harvard, of course, has the opposite reputation- whenever research is in question, they outperform nearly everyone in many (or most) fields.</p>
<p>@ennisthemenace:</p>
<p>Not a surprise. Yale is pretty good, but not the very elite in STEM fields.</p>
<p>So what does top 1% mean?</p>
<p>@DrGoogle Probably the researchers whose research has been cited most often (the 99th percentile) in a certain body of publications- usually the top X% of journals in a certain field.</p>
<p>That’s why I think these data are a bit dubious; you should be able to alter the results by messing with what percentage of researchers you’re looking at + what percentage of journals you consider worth examining. This might also get fuzzier once you account for the fact that not all fields (and not all subfields, if they’re adjusting by field) tend to have paper with the same number of citations. Overall, a much better dataset would probably be the average number of citations/researcher (with individualized listings if possible) in all journals with a certain level of rigor when it comes to accepting articles- but even that will still be subjective and possibly arbitrary.</p>
<p>Initially surprised by the fact that CalTech only has 17…then I remembered how small it is, so that’s actually a great number.</p>
