Contributing to CSrankings

Thanks for contributing to CSrankings! Here are some guidelines to getting your pull request accepted.

  1. Use a reasonable title that explains what the PR corresponds to (as in, not "Update csrankings-x.csv"). IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOUR COMMIT WILL BE SUMMARILY REJECTED.

  2. 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.

  3. Insert new faculty in alphabetical order, not at the end of csrankings-[a-z].csv. Do not modify csrankings.csv, which is auto-generated. DO NOT MODIFY csrankings-[0-9].csv, WHICH ARE BEING DEPRECATED. USE csrankings-[a-z].csv INSTEAD.

  4. 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 research
    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. Faculty should also have a 75%+ time appointment (check
    old/industry.csv for faculty who are now more than 25% in industry).

Updating an affiliation or home page

  • Update affiliations, home pages, and Google Scholar entries by modifying csrankings-[a-z].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-[a-z].csv (the letters correspond to the first letter of the faculty members' names; please do not use the numeric suffixes, which are being obsoleted); 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.

(Advanced) Quick contribution via a shallow clone

A full clone of the CSrankings repository is almost 2GB. To contribute a change without creating a full local clone of the CSrankings repo, you can do a shallow clone. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Fork the CSrankings repo. If you have an existing fork, but it is not up to date with the main repository, this technique may not work. If necessary, delete and re-create your fork to get it up to date. (Do not delete your existing fork if it has unmerged changes you want to preserve!)
  2. Do a shallow clone of your fork: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/yourusername/CSrankings. This will only download the most recent commit, not the full git history.
  3. Make your changes on a branch, push them to your clone, and create a pull request on GitHub as usual.

If you want to do another contribution and some time has passed, perform steps 1-3 again, creating a fresh fork and shallow clone.
