Where did the data come from? Who at University of Oregon vetted the data?
University of Oregon participated in the data collection process by providing data about its programs, faculty and students to the NRC in 2006-07. Some data were also developed directly by the NRC, including data on publications, citations and grants. The full list of data used in these rankings, with sources for each, is available on the NRC Departmental Profile. Some University of Oregon data were generated centrally by staff in the Office of Institutional Research. Other data were provided by programs.
