Unlike US News and World Report's approach, which is \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/articles/science-schools-methodology\"\u003eexclusively based on surveys\u003c/a\u003e, this ranking is entirely metrics-based. It measures the number of publications by faculty that have appeared at the most selective conferences in each area of computer science.\n\nThis approach is intended to be difficult to game, since publishing in such conferences is generally difficult: contrast this with other approaches like citation-based metrics, which have been repeatedly shown to be \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.0638\"\u003eeasy\u003c/a\u003e to \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://evaluation.hypotheses.org/files/2010/12/pdf_IkeAntkareISSI.pdf\"\u003emanipulate\u003c/a\u003e. That said, incorporating citations in some form is a long-term goal.\n\nSee the \u003ca href=\"https://csrankings.org/faq.html\"\u003eFAQ\u003c/a\u003e for more details.\n\n---\n\nThis repository contains all code and data used to build the computer science rankings website, hosted here:\nhttps://csrankings.org\n\n### Adding or modifying affiliations\n\n**_NOTE: Updates are now processed on a quarterly basis. You may submit pull requests at any time, but they may not be processed until the next quarter (after three months have elapsed)._**\n\n**You can now edit files directly in GitHub to create pull requests.** All data is\nin the files `csrankings-[a-z].csv`, with authors listed in\nalphabetical order by their first name, organized by the initial letter. Please read \u003ca\nhref=\"CONTRIBUTING.md\"\u003e```CONTRIBUTING.md```\u003c/a\u003e for full details on\nhow to contribute.\n\n### Trying it out at home\n\nBecause of GitHub size limits, to run this site, you will want to download the DBLP\ndata by running ``make update-dblp`` (note that this will consume\nupwards of 19GiB of memory). To then rebuild the databases, just run\n``make``. You can test it by running a local web server (e.g., ``python3 -m http.server``)\nand then connecting to [http://0.0.0.0:8000](http://0.0.0.0:8000).\n\nYou will also need to install libxml2-utils (or whatever package\nincludes xmllint on your distro), npm, typescript, closure-compiler, python-lxml, [pypy](https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/install.html),\nand basex via a command line like:\n\n``apt-get install libxml2-utils npm python-lxml basex; npm install -g typescript google-closure-compiler``\n\n### Quick contribution via a shallow clone\n\nA full clone of the CSrankings repository is almost 2GB, and the\n`csrankings.csv` file is too large to edit via the GitHub web site. To\ncontribute a change without creating a full local clone of the\nCSrankings repo, you can do a shallow clone. To do so, follow these\nsteps:\n\n1. Fork the CSrankings repo. If you have an existing fork, but it is\nnot up to date with the main repository, this technique may not\nwork. If necessary, delete and re-create your fork to get it up to\ndate. (Do not delete your existing fork if it has unmerged changes you\nwant to preserve!)\n1. Do a shallow clone of your fork: `git clone --depth 1\nhttps://github.com/yourusername/CSrankings`. This will only download\nthe most recent commit, not the full git history.\n1. Make your changes on a branch, push them to your clone, and create\na pull request on GitHub as usual.\n\nIf you want to make another contribution and some time has passed,\nperform steps 1-3 again, creating a fresh fork and shallow clone.\n\n\n### Acknowledgements and other rankings\n\nThis site was developed primarily by and is maintained by [Emery\nBerger](https://emeryberger.com). It incorporates extensive feedback\nfrom too many folks to mention here, including many contributors who\nhave helped to add and maintain faculty affiliations, home pages, and\nso on.\n\nThis site was initially based on code and\ndata collected by [Swarat\nChaudhuri](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~swarat/) (UT-Austin), though\nit has evolved considerably since its inception. The\noriginal faculty affiliation dataset was constructed by [Papoutsaki et\nal.](http://cs.brown.edu/people/alexpap/faculty_dataset.html); since\nthen, it has been extensively cleaned and updated by numerous\ncontributors. A previous ranking\nalso used DBLP and Brown's dataset for [ranking theoretical computer\nscience](https://projects.csail.mit.edu/dnd/ranking/.).\n\nThis site uses information from [DBLP.org](http://dblp.org) which is made\navailable under the ODC Attribution License.\n\n### License\n\nCSRankings is covered by the [Creative Commons\nAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International\nLicense](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femeryberger%2Fcsrankings","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Femeryberger%2Fcsrankings","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femeryberger%2Fcsrankings/lists"}
