Dear Faculty members, Webometrics is going to enter the indicator of the citations on Google Scholar for the best 10 scientists of the University as following: «The recent developments by Google Scholar Citations involving new institutional profiles provide us a reliable source of research impact information. The idea will be to count the combined number of citations of the top 10 scientists in the available university GSC profiles. We are still researching about the weighting of this indicator that should be detracted from 50% that we now assigned to the visibility».

This is the second edition (with data collected during the second week of October 2014) of a BETA list of the public profiles of the most highly cited researchers (h-index larger than 100) according to their declared presence in the Google Scholar Citations database.

The list, that includes both living and deceased authors, is ranked first by h-index in decreasing order and when ties appear, then by the total number of citations as a secondary criteria.

his ranking is far of being complete, as many scientists have no developed a GSC public profile yet, that it is a very easy and free task and with a surprisingly large coverage of both contributions and citations.
