The first method of measuring impact concentrates on tenured and tenured track faculty, with the top quartile of Universities being 1. Caltech, 2. UC Santa Cruz, 3. Princeton University, 4. Harvard University, 5. University of Colorado, Boulder, 6. SUNY, Stony Brook, 7. Johns Hopkins University, 8. Penn State University, and 9. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The second method additionally includes "soft money" scientists in research and adjunct faculty positions, with the top quartile being 1. UC Santa Cruz, 2. Princeton University, 3. Johns Hopkins University, 4. Penn State University, 5. SUNY Stony Brook, 6. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 7. New Mexico State University, 8. University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and 9. University of Virginia, Charlottesville.
Both methods reveal important aspects of Universities for graduate students, representing not only the depth but also the breadth of the science available to a student who becomes affiliated with the University. Finally, a comparison is made of the total articles published in the same 10 year period for the set of universities, both from the departments alone and from the larger universities. Three Universities have both impact index in the top quartile, and additionally have more than 1000 astronomical publications in a decade; University of California at Santa Cruz, Princeton University, and Johns Hopkins University.
