| Abstract: | We applied a set of standard bibliometric indicators to monitor the scientific state-of-arte of 500 universities worldwide
and constructed a ranking on the basis of these indicators (Leiden Ranking 2010). We find a dramatic and hitherto largely underestimated language effect in the bibliometric, citation-based measurements
of research performance when comparing the ranking based on all Web of Science (WoS) covered publications and on only English
WoS covered publications, particularly for Germany and France. |
