Marshall no. 7 in UT Dallas Top 100 Business School Research Rankings

The USC Marshall School of Business has been classified as one of the top business schools in research. The school was ranked no. 7 worldwide in the UT Dallas Top 100 Business School Research Rankings for 2015. The UT Dallas rankings are compiled from a database of faculty research published in 24 leading peer-reviewed journals from 2010 to 2014. Marshall had previously been ranked no. 14 on the list but moved in to the top 10 last year.

The overall ranking is a result of the combination of other areas that were ranked. Marshall ranked no. 7 based on publications in the top three accounting journals. It ranked no. 3 for publications in the top operations management journals, no. 8 for top finance journals and no. 7 for the top management journals.

The UT Dallas’ Naveen Jindal School of Management created a database to track publications in 24 leading business journals. The database contains titles and author affiliations of papers published in these journals since 1990. The information in the database is used to provide the top 100 business school rankings since 1990 based on the total contributions of faculty.

The ranking scores are calculated using a grading method based on the number of papers authored by school affiliates. Papers authored by one person results in the school of affiliation being credited with a score of one. If there are multiple authors from different schools, each school gets a score of p/n, where p is the number of authors from the same school and there are a total of n authors on the article. If an author lists multiple affiliations, each of the schools that author is affiliated with gets a corresponding scaled score. For example, if one of the n authors lists m affiliations, each school that author is affiliated with gets a score of 1/nm.
