Methodology:

"For the study, we turned our attention to those institutions that fielded at least ten high-impact reports over the five-year period," said Christopher King, editor of Science Watch. "We used this benchmark along with a subset of reports collected from Essential Science Indicators' 'Highly Cited Papers.' By doing so, we were able to compile nearly 1,300 papers with which we identified high-impact authors and journals."

姑且不論 SCI 適不適合當作評估標準，但是和 The Scientist : Best Places to Work 2009: Academia 選出來的單位比起來，好像重複的也不是很多。看來好的工作環境也未必會有好的成果，呵呵。
