PhD programs in North America—all of
which are among the very top programs
in the world: Harvard, MIT, Yale,
Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, and the
University of Chicago. Conley and
Önder divided up the graduates of each
of those programs according to where
they ranked in their class, and then
counted up the number of times each
PhD graduate was published in the first
six years of his or her academic career.
