The aim of the Ranking is to support Open Access initiatives and therefore =

This months ranking is strongly shaken up, compared to the January 2010
ranking. Although there is no formal or full explanation, 2 elements could
contribute:<br>
<br>
- .xls files are no longer counted as full texts ("rich files").<=
br>
- Because of "strange results" visibility in the Bing search engi=
ne
was excluded form the visibility parameter.<br>

Changes in the ranking algorithm always make it very tedious to compare thi=

We were able to identify a few institutions who weren't in the top 100 befo=
re,
but are now. Unfortunately, we have no exact ranking for these institutions
from previous editions. (position - institution name - positions won):<br>

<br>
Especially the Universit=E9 de Li=E8ge's appearance on place 35 is remarkab=
le, as
it's a very high entry for an institution not being in the top 100 before (=
so
it's at least 65 positions up)<br>
<br>
It would be great to hear from the top climbers, if they made certain
customizations or improved their repository in a certain way, to explain th=
e
improvement in rank. At this point it's very hard to identify whether the
change in the algorithm is fully responsible for the changes, or whether be=
st
practices at institutions could explain the changes.<br>
<br>
To make a further analysis for your institution, it could be useful to comp=
are
the 4 different metrics between July & January:<br>
<br>
<b>Size (S)</b>. Number of pages recovered from the four largest engines:
Google, Yahoo, and Exalead.<br>
<b>Visibility (V)</b>. The total number of unique external links received
(inlinks) by a site can be only confidently obtained from Yahoo Search and
Exalead.<br>
<b>Rich Files (R)</b>. Only the number of text files in Acrobat format (.pd=
f)
files extracted from Google and Yahoo are considered.<br>
<b>Scholar (Sc)</b>. Using Google Scholar database we calculate the mean of=
the
normalised total number of papers and those (recent papers) published betwe=
en
2001 and 2008.<br>
<br>
After the ranking in January 2010, we identified following institutions tha=
t
kept winning positions, despite the change in algortihms:<br>
