Hess, the director of educational policy at the American Enterprise Institute, is a \u201cformidable scholar in the field,\u201d Chard says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using metrics ranging from Google Scholar citations to social media followers, Hess and his 28-person selection committee determine which scholars make the grade.
