Gustavo Fischman on 10 Jun 14The Faculty Media Impact Project assesses the degree to which faculty share their research with the broader public. Given that much, perhaps most, of academic research is publicly funded today, the media citations draw attention to the scholars who offer something back to society. The formula for establishing rankings highlights this emphasis: the total average citation score of individuals within a department or school is divided by the percentage of that department's or school's public funding.
