Dear Ana, Nice to hear from you. I am branching your query the eprints and dspace lists, so that those who know of other developments can post them. Although you no doubt know some of them already, five sites I suggest you have a look at are: EPrints sites: (1) IRstats: http://trac.eprints.org/projects/irstats (2) Citebase: http://citebase.eprints.org/ Other sites: (3) Citeseerx: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/ (4) Publish or Perish: http://www.harzing.com/pop.htm (5) University Webometrics: http://www.webometrics.info/ I also suggest you look at the work of Johan Bollen: (who has just moved to Indiana University): http://proto.lanl.gov/jbollen/Johan_Bollen/Publications.html Mike Thelwall: http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~cm1993/mycv.html Hope you are having a good summer!
