Abstract:

This article provides a global ranking of research productivity of political science departments. We collect data on 115,427 articles and 12,696 books – written in both English and other languages – from 5,586 faculty members in 178 departments in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. Departments are ranked in terms of citations to articles published by faculty, impact factors of journals in which faculty published, and number of top publications in which faculty published. Results are presented for overall and more recent research productivity.
