EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Ohio ranked based on their research performance in Physics. A graph of 8.65M citations received by 333K academic papers made by 57 universities in Ohio was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
