For the 2014 edition, new peer assessment surveys were conducted and new rankings will be published online for social sciences and humanities Ph.D. programs in economics, English, history, political science, psychology, and sociology, as well as for master's programs in library and information studies.

Prospective students can use the Best Graduate Schools rankings and other data to make comparisons of concrete factors such as student-faculty ratios; research expenditures; acceptance rates; undergraduate grade point averages; average scores on the GRE,LSAT, and GMAT; and placement success upon graduation.
