Methodology: Institution Metrics
Institution-level statistics aggregate contributions from all authors affiliated with that institution. Affiliations are determined from DBLP person pages and CSRankings faculty data.
How Institution Data is Aggregated
All metrics are summed across affiliated authors:
- Artifacts: Total artifacts from all affiliated authors
- Total Papers: Total papers from all affiliated authors (AE-active years only)
- AE Memberships: Total committee memberships from all affiliated authors
- Combined Score: Sum of all affiliated authors’ combined scores
- Researchers: Count of unique authors affiliated with the institution
Artifact Rate and Reproducibility Rate are then computed from these aggregated totals:
- Institution AR% = (Total artifacts / Total papers) x 100
- Institution RR% = (Total reproduced badges / Total artifacts) x 100
Institution Role Classification
Each institution is classified based on its Artifact:Evaluation ratio (artifact_score / ae_score):
- Artifact-focused (Producer): A:E ratio > 2.0, or artifact-only (no AE service)
- Evaluation-focused (Consumer): A:E ratio < 0.5, or AE-only (no artifacts)
- Balanced: 0.5 <= A:E ratio <= 2.0
Cross-Area Aggregation
For institution rankings broken down by area (systems vs. security):
- Systems rankings: Include only artifacts, papers, and AE service from systems conferences
- Security rankings: Include only artifacts, papers, and AE service from security conferences
- Overall rankings: Sum of systems + security contributions
