[IRTalk] Webometrics Ranking for Institutional Repositories July 2017

[Wynand Van Der Walt]

Dear Colleagues,

Just a note on the rankings: please remember that a number of South  
African sites, including the SEALS Digital Commons, SCIELO platform,  
Rhodes University Hosted Journals etc., are listed in the portals  
section, as opposed to the individual institutional repository  
ranking. It is a pity that the Cybermetrics Lab is not willing to move  
all the repositories (including OJS instances and multi-institutional  
platforms) listed into a single list.

Regards,

Wynand
