We are now including national research council in our web ranking going into detail to individual centers. At the moment we analyzed German Max Planck and Italian CNR, although we intend to the same with French CNRS and Spanish CSIC. You can check our preliminary results here: http://www.webometrics.info/specials_1_2005_Max_Planck_Institutes.html http://www.webometrics.info/specials_2_2005_CNR.html We would like to know about other studies regarding these institutions targeting the commitment of research councils to web publication, impact of open access and self repositories initiatives, sociological/political/economic analysis an so on. Most interesting reports, web pages or papers will be cited in our pages. -- *************************************** Isidro F.
