[Sigmetrics] More uses of Google Scholar

[Isidro F. Aguillo]

Dear colleagues,

As many of you already realized, Google Scholar Citations introduced 
very recently the institutional profiles for providing rankings of 
scientists who shared the same standardized name and email address of an 
institution. You can see the example for Harvard:

https://scholar.google.com.tr/citations?view_op=view_org&hl=en&org=1896398670060433590 


As the total number of individual profiles is probably close to one 
million, while the number of universities profiles is over 5000, we 
thought that it was possible to build a global ranking of the best 
universities using this data. We publish a beta version (Top 600 
universities) that is mostly an experiment for testing the suitability 
of including GSC data in the Rankings Web 
(http://www.webometrics.info/). For the moment we are combining the 
number of citations of the top ten most cited scientists with public 
profiles, trying to be size-independent. You can check the preliminary 
results collected a few days ago here:

Any comment, suggestion or criticism is welcomed,
