They do include books (1 book = 5 articles) for humanities, but this is definitely an issue in other social sciences as well.Julienne Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989351017526826333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819620844167690741.post-59700595525514212082010-10-02T09:42:07.084-07:002010-10-02T09:42:07.084-07:00I also find it interesting that in anthropology, b...I also find it interesting that in anthropology, books are not included in the "pubs per faculty" rating.

I'm sure there are more than these three flaws, but it still is fascinating to see the data from anthropology departments, especially faculty publications and citations, % of students with funding, and time to completion. <br /><br />More discusson on these issues can be found at http://chronicle.com/article/After-Years-of-Delay-NRC/65918/#commentsJulienne Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989351017526826333noreply@blogger.com
