The Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies (LMS) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has collected data from 9 leading maritime journals to create a database that would provide the top maritime school rankings based on their publications. On top of that, Marine Policy has replaced the Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce under the area of “Maritime Policy” since 2016. The LMS has established this website to provide current data on research productivity across maritime schools.

Methodology
The LMS has conducted a study on research contributions based on publications in the 9 leading journals from maritime schools. We have classified the institutions as maritime schools when the institution name consists of any one or more of the following words: maritime, shipping, ocean, or marine.
A score of 1 is allocated to a single-authored paper published by a maritime school. For multiple-authored papers, a pro-rata score is allocated in accordance to the affiliation of the authors. For authors with multiple affiliations, each school is provided with a corresponding scaled score.
