Second Edition (July 2016 version 1.1)

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. The total number of individual profiles is probably close to one million, while the number of universities profiles is over 5000, so it is possible to build a global ranking that, although still incomplete, can be representative at least for the best universities.

This ranking is an experiment for testing the suitability of including GSC data in the Rankings Web, but it is still in beta. The current methodology is simple:

1. Only institutional profiles are chosen. If your university or your faculty members are not included, please promote they set up (voluntarily) their own Google Scholar Citations public profiles with a normalized (official) name of the university in the affiliation and using the INSTITUTIONAL email address.

2. Data from the top 10 public profiles of each university are collected. This number of profiles is for allowing size independent comparisons.

3. The first profilte of the list is excluded for improving representativeness. For the rest of the top 10 (maximum 9 profiles) the number of citations are added and the institutions are ranked in descending order of this indicator. If there are several entries for the same author, only the best profile is used penalizing organizations that are not cleaning duplicates from the list. Non individual profiles (journals, departments, groups) are excluded, that means the number of entries computed are reduced.

4. The figures are valid only at the time of collection. We don`t comment on the numbers or absences. Please, contact directly with Google Scholar for any aspect related with its database or profiles.

IMPORTANT INFO

To set up an personal profile in Google Scholar Citations database is voluntary, but once made it public the responsibility for info correctness belongs to the author. GSC automatically updates the profiles that is very practical but that sometimes adds non-pertinent records and citations to the profile. Authors should be aware of these issues and clean their profiles periodically. Also institutions should monitor their members profiles for intended (or unintended) fake, incorrect or duplicate records. This is key for the ranking as any institution with at least one of these problems can be excluded from future editions of the ranking.
