Guidelines for External Use (Medical) 

1. To reference rankings: 

• It is okay to say that your university, broad field or discipline is ranked in the top x0 (in units of ten as a minimum:10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc…) universities/disciplines in the USA based on the Scholarly Research Index and is in the company of universities a, b, and c in this ranking (no more than three). 

• It is also okay to say that you are ranked in the top x0 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc…) for a discipline based on a particular metric (e.g., grant $$/faculty) provided that the variable is stated. 

• It is NOT permissible to state that Academic Analytics ranks your university or discipline as better than named universities. This includes the naming of groups (such as Big 12) and geographic locations (such as all of New York). 2. Reference Academic Analytics as source with date and release year specified (AAD 2016, AAD 2017, etc.). 3. Comparative data from a custom report may require additional language explaining the source and filters utilized.
