WP 3 Open Access in institutional Rankings

The aim of WP 3 is to critically accompany OA as an evaluation dimension of institutional rankings. To this end, interpretation and intervention aids for the management of scientific institutions will be developed on the basis of an inventory of institutional rankings.
