Calculate the g-index for each faculty of the institute. RPI divides institute faculties into five main groups: MDPHS (medicine, dentistry, phamacology, and health sciences), ECT (engineering, computing, and technology), LBAS (life, biological, and agricultural sciences), PNMS (pure, natural, and mathematical sciences), and AHBSS (arts, humanities, business, and social science). The g-index describes the consistency and quality of an institution faculty's research output, between 2000 and 2009 inclusive. Determine the g-index by ranking an institution's publications in terms of the number of citations that each publication received. The top "g" publications should have received, in total, at least g^2 citations. For instance, if a hypothetical Cambridge Community College published 200 papers, and the 20 papers receiving the most citations received 400 citations in total, then the "g-index" of Cambridge Community College would be 20.
Divide the g-index of the faculty research index by the g-index of the top performing faculty in the nation.
Average the different g-indexes for the different faculties, in order to obtain a comprehensive index for the entire institute.
