Editorial: The Eighth Rothkopf Rankings of Universities' Contributions to the INFORMS Practice Literature
Abstract
Continuing and expanding on the original work that Michael H. Rothkopf established in 1996, this paper
presents the eighth ranking of universities according to their contributions to the INFORMS practice literature.
Fittingly, we have named them the “Rothkopf Rankings” in honor of their originator, a scholar and practitioner
with a passion for applied, effective, and influential operations research. The rankings assigned are based on two
metrics: one measures visibility (the number of times a university is listed as the primary academic affiliation in
the INFORMS practice literature), and the second measures yield (the equivalent number of INFORMS practice
papers attributable to each university based on author primary academic affiliation). For US universities, the
Naval Postgraduate School earns the top ranking for visibility and the second for yield, and the Colorado School
of Mines earns the top ranking for yield and the second for visibility. For non-US universities, the University
of Chile earns the top ranking for both visibility and yield.
