"Chapman School of Law Hits #1 in Key Scholarly Output Ranking"

Check out the Law Librarian Blog (9/12/2006) for
an indepth post about law school scholarship rankings and
what the blog terms 'info-antics.'

The article begins by quoting a September 8 press release
issued by the Chapman University School of Law announcing that
the school has been "ranked #1 in the nation in terms of the number
of scholarly articles posted in the past 12 months on the
Social Sciences Research Network." Harvard ranks second
in the list. The article goes on to analyze the data with
number-crunching panache and lots of colorful graphics.

This is an entertaining look at ranking 'fever' in the
academy.
