<p class="MsoNormal">- Portals who gather & group content from multiple institutions & organizations, like iRevues <a href="http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/">http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/</a><br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"">I noticed a discrepancy: If you compare the rankings in "Top Institutionals" vs (Africa/Sub Saharan Africa/ South Africa) UP ETD is ranken at 51 (67); Stell 141 (157);
Unisa 146 (165); CSIR 161 (190); UJ 210 (237). As we all look better in the "Top Institutionals" why refer to the more specific? Did any of you pick up the reason for this? This is raising concern about the reliability of Webometric but please correct me/point
me in the right direction if I'm missing something obvious.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
