PGR: Sorting it Out by Subfields (Revised)

There is a wealth of detail in the newly released Philosophical Gourmet Report. Mindful of the fact that some departments rank high overall, but low in relatively many subfields (and vice versa), I thought to check how departments do overall if you aggregate excellence in subfields. (A proviso: subfields are not equal in size, importance to the discipline, or prestige.)

Here is a look at the top twenty US departments, plus the top in each non-US region (UK, Canada, Australasia). I looked only at the top three groupings of departments in each specialty, and Unranked (ratings of less than 3.0).

There are very few Group 1 departments in any given area, so I gave 5 points for each such ranking. Group 2 is significant, but quite a bit less noteworthy: 3 points.  Group 3 gets 1 point. Unranked is not so good: minus 1.

I have revised the table I gave earlier to include Group 3. I used Dhananjay's figures, including his corrigenda, but including the updated figure for American Pragmatism, in which Toronto got a Group 1. I also gave 1 point, instead of 2 for Group 3. (That's a judgement call, of course, but the number of Group 3 departments in most fields is substantially more than Group 2s.)

A proviso: bigger departments do better. But it benefits students to be in a large department with excellence overall. It gives them exposure to advanced thought in a range of specialized areas. You may or may not think this is an important criterion. Whatever; fair enough; form your own judgement: I am just giving a measure by the criterion you may not think important. Take it for what it's worth, and remember it's metadata.

Here, then, are the results by aggregating subfield performance, by my way of doing it. THESE ARE REVISED FROM MY ORIGINAL POST to include G3 and corrections.
