Number One, Again
The January/February 2007 (Vol. 18, No. 1) issue of Science Watch, which tracks trends and performance in basic research, ranked Yale Engineering No. 1 in citation impact of its faculty research papers. Yale Engineering was followed by Harvard, University of California at Santa Barbara, Princeton, UCLA, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Caltech, Vanderbilt, and Michigan University.
The study focused on 100 federally-funded universities from 2001 to 2005. Science Watch rankings are “based on relative citation impact’—that is, each university’s average-citations-per-paper score for the five-year period compared, on a percentage basis, against the world impact average in each field.”
Yale Engineering papers were also ranked first in citation impact from 1997 to 2001 and ranked among the top ten from 1993 to 1997
