Framework for ranking institutions and authors based on their publications Institutions Ranking by Publications is a free application that provides a general framework for ranking institutions and authors based purely on their publications. Customizable policies guide the ranking process, for example, by assigning different weights to different publication venues or by determining how a publication's score will be distributed among multiple authors. The goal of Institutions Ranking by Publications is to be applicable to as many subfields of computer science research, and to accommodate as many ranking policies, as possible.While there are many bibliography services, such as DBLP, Computer Science Bibliography, and ACM Digital Library, only INSPEC consistently provide institution information for its bibliographic data. Thus the data included in the download is collected from query results on INSPEC, and the programming logic is based on this format of data. However, there is no limitation in the application's capability to get data from other sources, if this data is more complete and accurate.The toughest question is about how to give a score to a publication. Ideally it would be based on a citation count, assuming the most cited paper is the most important paper and thus deserves the highest score. Institutions Ranking by Publications does not support this calculation. However, it can be easily extended to support merit-based scores, given some easily accessible scoring mechanism.The current methodology bases a publication's score on the place where each publication was originally published. It is assumed that each research field has a set of conferences and journals with various qualities and that publications appearing in more privileged conference/journals should receive higher scores. Inevitably, the weight (privilege) given to each conference/journal is subjective, and treating all publications of a single journal/conference as of the same importance is far from perfect. However, this process is generic, making it applicable to any subfield of computer science, and it is customizable, accommodating many people's judgments.Many publications have multiple authors. Unfortunately the bibliographic data of INSPEC only collects the institution of the first author, where the other sources do not provide this information at all. This shortcoming reduced the accuracy of the ranking.Institutions Ranking by Publications is capable of handling multiple authors from multiple institutions and lets user decide how a publication's score should be distributed among each author.
