Site Updates

A chronological log of new features, new schools, and improvements to this directory. Suggestions are welcome via the contact page.

August 2026

  • Aug 23 — New school: Colorado State University. The directory now covers 181 schools.
  • Aug 22 — Improvement: UC Davis rosters corrected — the scraper had been reading the school-wide directory instead of the department-filtered listings and captured only a fraction of each group; the Operations Management roster now lists all 12 active members, and the newly added Business Analytics department all 19 (12 of them unique to that group).
  • Aug 19 — New school: University of Nevada, Reno. The directory now covers 180 schools.
  • Aug 19 — Improvement: Collaboration network ties (the map's co-authorship arcs and the centrality ranking behind the Collaboration Hub badge) now require at least one active tenure-track OM/SCM/Decision Sciences author — co-authors in other fields still count as partners, but ties between out-of-scope faculty no longer inflate the network. The school leaderboard's Top Partners numbers also gained hover tips explaining what they measure.
  • Aug 18 — New school: Simon Fraser University. The directory now covers 179 schools.
  • Aug 17 — Improvement: The All Faculty page now loads without freezing the browser — its ~2,000 rows render progressively instead of all at once, on first load and whenever a search, filter change, or re-sort broadens the visible set, so the page stays responsive throughout.
  • Aug 17 — New feature: Industry & Practice section — researchers who left tenure-track academia but remain research-active now have their own section in the faculty directory, showing their current affiliation alongside their last academic school. They stay on the papers page and in reviewer recommendations, and their publications keep syncing, while remaining excluded from all rankings and school aggregates.
  • Aug 16 — New feature: Collaboration centrality — every school now carries a 0–100 network-centrality score measuring how essential it is to collaboration in the field, shown on its page and as a third toggle on the school leaderboard. The top 10 schools earn the new Collaboration Hub badge.
  • Aug 16 — New feature: Collaboration Map — a world map of all 178 schools colored by faculty count, with two networks: co-authorship arcs from the last five years and a directed PhD-placement mode (arrows from PhD program to hiring school). Long-distance ties aggregate into region-to-region bands that expand on click, a search box jumps straight to any school, clicking a school isolates its network, every school page links to its own map view, and INSEAD appears once per campus.
  • Aug 16 — New feature: This Site Updates page, with a running log of site developments back to launch.
