@Alexandre Fair enough. That misconception is probably what led people to refer me to Carnegie in the first place. May I ask how you are rating these universities’ departments?
@merc81 Yeah, I didn’t realize the website was primarily ranking universities based on their graduate research. Duly noted. And I’d never heard of normalizing before, but after a quick google search, if I’m correct, you mean that bigger department sizes will naturally publish more in any field, so this website has to adjust its rankings by proportionally adjusting the “amount of papers published by a university” by the department size?
