This ranking measures research publications by professors across the field of computer science. Publications occurring in selected conferences in the year 2010 or later are counted based on the proportion of authors that are professors at that institution. The numbers we report under the csrankings column might differ from csrankings.org because while we use the same formula (geometric mean count) we have a different implementation and different subfields.

Ranking based on placement of students from an institution into faculty positions. The data comes from a publicly-editable dataset of professor profiles. The university where a professor got their bachelors or doctorate is treated as the source node in the Pagerank algorithm, where the score is generated from. See the original scores for the PageRank calculations.

This ranking measures papers from 30 top computer science conferences recognized as "best papers". Points are assigned to schools based on author affiliation and their position in the author list based on a decreasing exponential scale. See the best papers page for the full listing.
