Table 3 examines the c umulative pe rcentage of articles published in each tier according to fine r
gradations of rank and peer ratings. For example, there are 21 schools ranked in the top 25 that published
in Tier 1, w hich account for 26 .1% of the articles published by all U.S. s chools. This sam e group
accounts for 26.5% of all Tier 1 articles published among the 315 peer-rated schools and 32.3% of all Tier
1 articles published b y the 86 schools ranked am ong the top 120 U.S. schools. The Tier 1 portion of the
table generally indicates that the highest of the t op-ranked schools account for proportionally more of the
publishing, as indicated b y the cum ulative totals. Relatively similar results are borne out in the peer
rating portio n of the Tier 1 results. The higher the p eer rating, the higher the relative percentage o f
publishing that is done in Tier 1. For example, 35% (62 school s) account fo r 65% of the publishing,
while 67% (115 schools) account for 86% of the publishe d articles. In this case, the additional 53 schools
account for only an additional 21% of the articles.
