The Good Oil
We've used the data from our 2009 rankings of the world's architecture schools to compile a list of individual academics {professors}. This list shows how they rate on our Research Score. The list includes over 3,100 academics from the major English-speaking nations.
We've received a bucketload of emails from aggrieved architecure academics complaining about their position in our ratings. You can read a typical critique of our exercise from Dr Tom Loveday, of the Faculty of the Built Environment at the University of New South Wales. He has every right to object, but we take deep offence at his attempt to bully us into silence.
We've also read comments in places such as Archinect that lists such as this will not help you choose an architecture school. The authors are right, and we have never claimed otherwise. But such a ranking may be of use for for postgrads wanting to do research.

Our survey was conducted in the southern summer of 2008-2009. Read this to find out who we included in our list.
