UI doctoral programs ranked on scholarly productivity Twenty-six doctoral programs at the UI were ranked in the top of their fields based on the 2005 Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index. The entomology program received the highest honors with a No. 1 ranking. The 2005 index compiles overall institutional rankings on 166 large research universities, which offer 15 or more doctoral programs, as well as 61 smaller research universities, which offer between one and 14 doctoral programs. Each institution was ranked using the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index, which provides an overall measure of faculty performance. The primary criteria for the rankings included journal publications, citations of journal articles, and federal grant dollars awarded. The survey was compiled by Academic Analytics, a company owned partially by the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
