Wisconsin Top-5 by departmental impact factor
ISI has released its ranking by average citations per paper, of the top 100
federally funded U.S. universities that published at least 300 papers in Thomson
Scientific-indexed psychology journals between 2000 and 2004. In it, the UW-Madison
ranks #5 in citations per paper, and #2 in overall number of papers. For more
information, visit ISI Essential Science Indicators.
December 2005
Wisconsin Top-5 among Clinical Psychology PhD programs
In a recent peer-reviewed study* "based on quantifiable measures of faculty
publications and citations," UW-Madison ranked #1 in citation ranking, and #9 in
number of publications ranking, for a composite ranking of #3. The authors
characterize this study as "the first study to rank clinical psychology Ph.D.
programs on objective and systematic data of individual faculty" and note that
because "the number of publications and citations are typically used to evaluate
faculty for promotion and tenure, " these rankings have "a level of validity in
assessing prominence that is not present in survey data" that is typically used
in rankings that are published in the popular press.
