Ranking Web of Repositories: July 2010 Edition

The second edition of 2010 Ranking Web of Repositories has been 
published the same day OR2010 started here in Madrid. The ranking 
is available from the following URL:

http://repositories.webometrics.info/

The main novelty is the substantial increase in the number of 
repositories analyzed (close to 1000). The Top 800 are ranked 
according to their web presence and visibility. As usual thematic 
repositories (CiteSeer, RePEc, Arxiv) leads the Ranking, but the 
French research institutes (CNRS, INRIA, SHS) using HAL are very 
close.  Two issues have changed from previous editions from a 
methodologicall point of view: the use of Bing's engine data has 
been discarded due to irregularities in the figures obtained and 
MS Excel files has been excluded again.

At the end of July the new edition of the Rankings of 
universities, research centers and hospitals will be published.

Comments, suggestions and additional information are greatly 
appreciated.
