Research Productivity Rankings

The UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings offer a clear and highly useful benchmark for research productivity. I started this (side) project as a respectful extension of the UTD framework.

Methodology

Publication data: From OM/OR-filtered paper-level datasets for Management Science, Operations Research, and M&SOM (2016 onward). A paper is classified as OM/OR using Management Science departments where OM/OR is typically published (for example, Operations Management, Healthcare, and Optimization), augmented by GPT-5.3 inference for papers in other departments. This yields OM/OR shares of 26.8% for Management Science, 99.1% for Operations Research, and 100.0% for M&SOM. For school mapping, author affiliations at publication are mapped to ranked schools only when a business-school unit is present in affiliation text; MIT Operations Research Center is included by exception.

Faculty counts: Research-track Operations Management / Decision Sciences faculty only (Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors). Excludes clinical, teaching-track, emeritus, adjunct, visiting, and practice-track faculty.

Citation counts: Citation data are from OpenAlex only (no mixed sources). Papers are matched by DOI and citations use OpenAlex cited_by_count. Last citation refresh: February 19, 2026. Papers without a DOI match are left blank in the review files and treated as 0 in the table aggregates.

Displayed metrics: Papers (School/Year) = school-level paper credits ÷ years in selected period (from the review CSV pipeline, not UTD table counts); Papers/Faculty/Year = author-level paper credits ÷ faculty count ÷ years (if two same-school coauthors are on one paper, that paper contributes 2); Cites/Paper/Year = total citations ÷ school papers ÷ years; Cites/Paper/Year × Papers/Faculty/Year = (total citations ÷ school papers ÷ years) × (author-level papers ÷ faculty ÷ years).
