This table directly compares all full professors against each other, regardless of university affiliation, at the top 75 universities. All of the professors were sorted in descending order by number of publications in the “Through Top Business Journals” category, followed by the totals in the “Through Top 6” category, and so forth to the “All” category. The listing was then divided into the appropriate percentage range and the average of the percentage range is reported.  The overall minimum and maximum publication records are also reported (table available for download).
