Thanks for contributing to CSrankings! Here are some guidelines to getting your pull request accepted.
-
Do not use Excel to edit any .csv files; Excel incorrectly tries to convert some Google Scholar entries to formulas, corrupting the database. Use a text editor like emacs or NotePad instead.
-
Insert new faculty in alphabetical order, not at the end of
csrankings.csv. -
Read and check all the boxes below by filling them in with an X.
Inclusion criteria
- Make sure that any faculty you add meet the inclusion criteria. Eligible faculty include only full-time, tenure-track faculty members on a given campus who can solely advise PhD students in Computer Science. Faculty not in a CS department or similar who can advise PhD students in CS can be included regardless of their home department.
Updating an affiliation or home page
- Update affiliations, home pages, and Google Scholar entries by modifying
csrankings.csv. For the Google Scholar entry, just use the alphanumeric identifier in the middle of the URL. If none is there, put NOSCHOLARPAGE.
Adding one or more faculty members (including an entire department)
-
If the department is not yet listed in CSrankings, the entire faculty needs to be added (not just one faculty member).
-
Enter each faculty member's DBLP name, home page, and Google Scholar entry (just the alphanumeric identifier, not the whole URL) by modifying
csrankings.csv; include disambiguation suffixes like 0001 as needed. If the faculty entry is currently ambiguous, please do not include them. Send mail to the DBLP maintainers ([email protected]) with a few publications by a particular faculty member; also, open an issue so that when the DBLP database is updated, that faculty member's information can be added. -
If DBLP has multiple entries for this person, all of them need to be listed. If an alias is not already present in
dblp-aliases.csv, add it. -
If the institution you are adding is not in the US, update
country-info.csv.
