Works published per year by each institution’s currently-matched faculty (OpenAlex). It tracks the output of the people on staff now, not a historical census of the institution, and the most recent year lags as indexing catches up.
The 25 matched faculty with the highest h-index, with salary and federal grants. Ranked by a raw, field-unadjusted citation measure — high-citation-density fields dominate any such list, so this is not a cross-field ranking of scholarly standing.

Research profiles come from OpenAlex, matched to a person by name (faculty-restricted, precision-first) — the single best-scoring author is kept. Metrics are indicative: OpenAlex disambiguation can merge authors who share a common name (inflating a few profiles), and h-index / citation counts are all-time, not windowed. Coverage skews toward research-active faculty; teaching-only instructors often have no matched profile (the “none” bucket). See ADR-014.
