WP 3 Open Access in institutional Rankings

Lead

Description

Institutional rankings enjoy a high level of attention among science policy decision-makers and the public because they succeed in comparing scientific institutions with each other in a generally understandable and clear manner. Despite numerous points of criticism, rankings can therefore not be ignored as a measure of the perception of academic institutions and play a corresponding role in institutional information management.

WP 3 takes into account that OA is increasingly appearing as a comparative dimension in rankings, for example in the Leiden Ranking of the CWTS, the COKI Open Access Dashboard and the Scimago Institutions Ranking.
