Worldwide Institutional and Individual Rankings in Statistical Theory by Journal Publications over the period 1980–1986

Nine leading journals that publish statistical theory are used to provide a data base of institutional and individual research activity in statistics over the period 1980–1986. From this data base, we construct both institutional and individual research rankings according to standardized page counts of articles published in these journals over the stated period. The study is worldwide and we provide breakdowns of publication by country and by journal. Separate rankings are also provided for both institutions and individuals according to publication track records in the Annals of Statistics alone.
