NCU E-theses & Dissertations System and Institutional Repository website, both founded by university library, have respectively placed No. 174 and No. 277 in Spain’s Ranking Web of World Repositories (Category: Top 400 Institutional) published in July 2010. In terms of rankings among universities in Taiwan, the E-theses & Dissertation System comes in top three, followed by the repository website in the 6th place.
This ranking is conducted by Spain’s Centre for Scientific Information and Documentation, who publishes their results twice a year. According to their website (http://repositories.webometrics.info/), four indicators are considered to assess the web performance: the amount of web pages and scholarly documents, the search results, and the numbers of being hyperlinked by other sites, in order to reflect one website’s quality and visibility from all angles.
On receiving the good news, the library staff couldn’t feel more rejoiced—especially in view of that the repository website has just begun to run its course since last year! The ranking not only signifies the recognition for the staff’s devotion to facilitating general public’s access to our academic researches, but, viewed from a wider perspective, could also stand for future opportunities for our professors and students to communicate and exchange their discoveries with worldwide scholars.
