<DIV>I think sustainable support for research visibility should be our number one priority. If we do not risk (at times) improving our services, products and platforms we are not going forward. At UP we developed a php front page so that we did not have to go into serious skinning of DSpace at high cost, that "improvement" costed us our first place this round, and we will now look into alternative measures. UJ might experience the go-over of re-indexing and re-routing now, but might come out tops in the following rankings ... we should be open to experiment without too much fear of Webometrics.</DIV>

<DIV>Ina, just one correction to your figures. UPSpace was ranked 73 in 2015 and the old ETD system at its peak ranked in 62nd position in 2013.</DIV>

<DIV>Lets take it if item handles were not changed, the repository position would have not been so affected by the new domain name. If new handles were assigned then the current ranking position is understandable. My problem for the changes will be if new handles were assigned how do you resolve item links on staff webpages, citations, etc. </DIV>

<DIV class=PlainText>Dear Colleagues,<BR><BR>Congratulations to those institutions who feature on the list.<BR><BR>I do, however, feel compelled to respond to previous e-mails in order <BR>to ensure that possible incorrect information do not create <BR>unjustified impressions. I do not agree with the impact being assigned <BR>to a change in repository software as the current repository software <BR>used by UJ (and others) is fully open standards compliant in terms of <BR>accessing information (harvesting protocols etc.). There are a <BR>considerable number of sites on the ranking that can testify to the <BR>fact that the specific application is compliant in terms of open <BR>access (OA).<BR><BR>I would imagine that one of the possible reasons for a fall in the <BR>ranking might be due to a change in a the domain name which would most <BR>definitely impact on back-links etc. as per MajesticSEO and ahrefs <BR>(the two databases feeding information to determine the visibility of <BR>sites - a process which in itself takes time), as well as <BR>re-harvesting on Google & Google Scholar (extraction processes). <BR>During a change-over process a drop in ranking can be expected, but I <BR>am more than certain that the January edition of the rankings will be <BR>indicative of the true impact of repositories irrespective of software <BR>applications used.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Wynand<BR><BR><BR>Quoting Ina Smith <Ina@assaf.org.za>:<BR><BR>> Dear Lazarus<BR>><BR>> One can definitely see the impact of not using open standards/open <BR>> sources software, which is part of the philosophy of open access.
