The new citation data are now available for Winter 2023. Citations are tracked for “regular” (i.e., tenure track) faculty in urban planning programs and departments in the U.S. and Canada. I am pleased to report that over 76% of the faculty being tracked (784 out of 1,039) now have Google Scholar Citation Profiles. See the ScholarMetrics page to look up individual faculty and planning program data.

Are you going to use the standardized citation metrics like mentioned here? https://cde.nus.edu.sg/cee/news-detail/worldstopscientists/
Also, it might be interesting to compare planning faculty from all the English speaking institutions.
Because I’m only focusing on a single discipline (although multidisciplinary in nature), I don’t adjust the numbers. There are topical areas that do get cited more often, see: https://www.mdpi.com/2413-8851/4/1/4. I would certainly like to include more schools and faculty, but there is a lot of manual data collection involved. I’ve looked at some non-North America schools, but it has its challenges: UK and Ireland Planning Faculty Citations
