Highly Cited Work

CSU Ranks Among Top 25 Universities for Faculty Citations

Colorado State’s ECE Department ranks among the top 25 universities in the nation for faculty citations and awards. Many researchers and field experts have cited the published work of our faculty and continue to use their findings as a cornerstone for further discovery and research. Scroll down for a listing of faculty publications that have been cited more than one hundred times.*

Highly Cited Work - A True Measure of Research Quality

While scientific publications report proven, solid findings, not all published journal articles are cited and used by other researchers to advance knowledge. The value of citation analysis as an indicator of research quality has been widely acknowledged; in fact, roughly half of all scientific publications are never cited at all. Ranking university programs by the frequency with which the published scholarship of their faculty is cited by others thus provides a valuable benchmark of research quality, arguably the best single measure available.**
