<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SUNScholar International Ranking<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SUNScholar was ranked as 2nd in Africa, and 146 globally (out of a total of 1 983) during the bi-annual July ranking of open access institutional repositories. This is an improvement from our 3<sup>nd</sup> place at the beginning of this
year. We use this ranking as a benchmarking tool, and as one of many pointers to guide us in our effort to apply best practice.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Visibility of research output is one of the most important variables measured. Approximately 13 000 items on SUNScholar have full text attached, while the rest are bibliographic records imported from the SU Research Reports from previous
years. Hopefully – with time – we will be able to retrospectively attach the full text to these articles. SUNScholar was officially implemented at the beginning of 2010, and we would not have done this well if it wasn’t for your cooperation and support. Thank
you so much. More info at <a href="http://repositories.webometrics.info/en/Ranking_africa">

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SUNScholar Internasionale Meting<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SUNScholar is tydens die tweejaarlikse Julie-uitgawe van die
<i>Webometrics Ranking</i> in die 2de plek in Afrika geplaas, en in die 146ste plek internasionaal (uit ‘n totaal van 1 983). Dit is ‘n verbetering op die 3de plek aan die begin van die jaar. Hierdie meting word gebruik as ‘n hulpmiddel om die standaard van
SUNScholar te bepaal, tesame met baie ander hulpmiddels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sigbaarheid van ons navorsingsuitsette is een van die mees belangrike veranderlikes wat gemeet word. Tans is daar sowat 13 000 items op SUNScholar wat die volteks bevat, terwyl die res bestaan uit bibliografiese rekords wat vanaf navorsingsverslae
vanaf vorige jare ingetrek is. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hopelik sal die volteks ook met verloop van tyd aan hierdie rekords gekoppel word. SUNScholar is aan die begin van 2010 amptelik in werking gestel, en ons sou dit nie kon doen sonder u samewerking en ondersteuning nie. Baie dankie daarvoor.
