Ranking based on scholar productivity can change a lot from one year to the next. The same professor can publish four papers in one year and then none in the next. It’d be better if there are some sort of long-term averages.

After all, peer assessment is about reputation and brand which are long-term oriented; a more valid comparsion would be peer assessment vs, say, 10-yr FSP average.
