Top OM/SCM Faculty Leaderboard

Tenure-track Operations & Supply Chain Management faculty ranked by two metrics — toggle between productivity (volume per year) and impact (citations per year of exposure).

Productivity = UTD-24 publications / (2026 − PhD year). Impact = h-index over citations / max(1, 2026 − pub year) across each faculty's UTD-24 papers — the largest h such that the faculty has ≥h UTD papers each cited ≥h times per year (requires ≥3 UTD papers). Impact values are reported as fractional h-indices, interpolated between integer levels so close ranks remain distinguishable (see methodology). Faculty without a cached OpenAlex record or with fewer than 4 post-PhD years are excluded from the productivity ranking; both leaderboards award medals across the top 100. Last publication data pull: 2026-06-24.
