Computer Science Rankings

This ranking of top computer science schools is designed to identify institutions and faculty actively engaged in research across a number of areas of computer science. Unlike US News and World Report's approach, which is exclusively based on surveys, 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.

This 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 easy to manipulate. That said, incorporating citations in some form is a long-term goal.

See the FAQ for more details.


This repository contains all code and data used to build the computer science rankings website, hosted here: http://csrankings.org

Adding or modifying affiliations

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for full details on how to contribute.

Trying it out at home

Because of GitHub size limits, to run this site, you will want to download the DBLP data by running make update-dblp (note that this will consume upwards of 19GiB of memory). To then rebuild the databases, just run make. You can test it by running a local web server (e.g., python3 -m http.server) and then connecting to http://0.0.0.0:8000.

You will also need to install libxml2-utils (or whatever package includes xmllint on your distro), npm, typescript, closure-compiler, python-lxml, pypy, and basex via a command line like:

apt-get install libxml2-utils npm python-lxml basex; npm install -g typescript google-closure-compiler

Acknowledgements and other rankings

This site was developed primarily by and is maintained by Emery Berger. It incorporates extensive feedback from too many folks to mention here, including many contributors who have helped to add and maintain faculty affiliations, home pages, and so on.

This site was initially based on code and data collected by Swarat Chaudhuri (Rice University), though it has evolved considerably since its inception. The original faculty affiliation dataset was constructed by Papoutsaki et al.; since then, it has been extensively cleaned and updated by numerous contributors. A previous ranking also used DBLP and Brown's dataset for ranking theoretical computer science.
