Dear Colleagues

The new ranking of institutional repositories by Webometrics has been released. Well done to all for doing a great job in making African research more visible! Congratulations UPSpace for continuing to set an example, together with SUNScholar and UNISA in the top 3. So great to now have 74 IRs from all over Africa ranked!! Africa is doing great!!

Please keep track of your ranking over the years, so that you can continue to benchmark against yourself and measure your own IR progress.
