The Naveen Jindal School of Management has released The UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings™ for 2014, providing a benchmark to measure faculty research productivity at schools around the globe.

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania retained the No. 1 spot it has held since the annual rankings began in 2005.
Harvard University maintained the No. 2 place in the latest North American and worldwide rankings, while New York University moved to No. 3. The standings are based on articles published in 24 leading peer-reviewed journals from 2009 to 2013.
The Jindal School tracks those article contributions to create separate U.S. and worldwide rankings. The scoring system measures single and multiple authors of articles, as well as multiple university affiliations.
The rankings document a significant increase in business faculty research in the past nine years. The 100 ranked schools produced 9,174 articles in the 24 leading journals during the most recent ranking period. That number has risen from 5,879 articles in the first period used in the rankings, from 2000 to 2004.
