Better rankings for a better education We are a team of academics and data scientists working to provide an objective InfluenceRanking™ of people, places, and institutions. Colleges and universities shape our destinies. Thanks to 30,000 schools of higher learning worldwide, half a billion people have earned a college degree, with the remaining 6.6 billion people on our planet often having to follow their lead. Thus, if we can determine which schools have most influenced humanity, and if we know in which disciplines and through which scholars they have exerted their influence, we can better understand where our species is headed and to what we may legitimately aspire. At AcademicInfluence.com, we have cataloged the influencers associated with colleges and universities across numerous disciplines and subdisciplines. Here at Academic Influence News, we explain and justify how our InfluenceRanking™ algorithm measures the degree to which universities, both individually and collectively, influence the world.
