Computer Science Rankings (beta)

This ranking of top computer science schools is designed to identify institutions and faculty actively engaged in research across a number of areas of computer science, based on the number of publications by faculty that have appeared at the most selective conferences in each area of computer science (see the FAQ for more details).

Click on a triangle (►) to display names and number of publications. Click on a name to go to a faculty member's home page. Click on a pie (the ◕ after a name or institution) to see a publication profile as a pie chart. Click on the raw number of publications to go to their DBLP entry.

The rubrics (AI, Systems, and Theory) are provided for ease of comparison with rankings published by US News and World Report.

Output is attributed to the institution where authors are currently affiliated full-time, tenure-track faculty members who can advise CS PhD students. An author's publications follow them if they move. Currently, this database includes selected US, Canadian, European, and Australasian CS or EECS departments (or equivalent); please submit pull requests (see below) to add any unlisted institution.

Adjusted counts: each publication is counted exactly once, with credit adjusted by splitting evenly across all co-authors. This approach makes it impossible to boost rankings simply by adding authors to a paper. Average count computes the geometric mean of the adjusted counts in each area (+ 1) for each institution. This approach normalizes for the size of areas, so that large and small areas are weighed the same. Publications must be at least 6 pages long to be counted.

All publication data is from DBLP (last updated May 9, 2017).
Click to see the current database of faculty and their affiliations. Please submit any affiliation updates via this form or (preferably) via a pull request. Please verify that the faculty members are full-time, tenure-track members of a CS department (or similar), and that their names are as they appear in DBLP.
