From Certain Doubts:

Complete Hirsch Number Rankings of U.S. Philosophy PhD Programs

The first table is a simple (read: hamfisted) summary of the tables to following, generated by giving equal weight to the ordinal ranking achieved by the other measures (e.g., mean, sum h-values, JK method, and KD method). This summary compromises between measures (such as the mean) that ignore size of department and measures (such as summing h-values) that place a great deal of weight on size of department, since two of the four measures summarized by the following table are mean-driven and two are summation-of-h-value-driven.

*The data was obtained using Harzing’s Publish or Perish, which searches Google Scholar for the data to generate a Hirsch number for each scholar. Data was collected for each department based on faculty lists from the 2006-8 Leiter Report together with known changes to this list reported on Leiter’s blog, plus faculty lists from department websites, not counting affiliated faculty, visiting faculty, or emeritus faculty.
**The JK Method seeks to penalize departments that rate highly in the mean ranking because of a single superstar, and reward departments that have a large number of reputable scholars. It does so by eliminating the highest rated scholar in each department, and then looks to see if there are 7 or more scholars with a rating above the median. For departments with such a critical mass of scholars, the mean is then calculated for all faculty with a rating above the median, not including the highest-rated scholar. For departments without such a critical mass of scholars, the mean is calculated for all faculty, not including the highest rated scholar, except in cases where no faculty member is above the the median, in which case the negative of the mean is given as the rating.
The KD method seeks to reward larger departments, so long as the additional faculty count as reputable scholars. It is calculated by summing the individual ratings of all faculty whose rating is above the median, again minus the highest-rated scholar in the department.
Below is some further data about the entire data set.
