The scholarly analytics company, ScholarGPS, has ranked OU Sociology Professor Samuel Perry # 1 among sociologists in the United States and around the world in terms of research productivity and impact over the past 5 years. 

The ScholarGPS platform harnesses artificial intelligence and data-mining tools to quantify scholarly activity by considering metrics of research productivity (number of publications) as well as impact and quality (citations, h-index). Scholars' publications and citations are also weighted by the number of co-authors and exclude self-citations. 

As the highest ranked sociologist in the United States, Professor Perry leads scholars in the top-10 from Harvard, Duke, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and other prestigious institutions. ScholarGPS also ranked Professor Perry in the top-25 among social scientists in the United States regardless of discipline.
