Hi Ray - Interesting ranking. I think there is a large skew towards English speaking universities. The highly cited will very skewed, since there are many more publications in English. If two papers are published at the same time, one in Japanese and one in English, the one in Japanese may get a dozen sites in 3 years, and the one in English, which is much more accessible, even to a reseracher in Germany, will have a hundred citations. The acceptance of English a second language is a powerful factor. ** One other big factor is the push to large scale higher education - there are a number of land grant colleges in farm states which make the cut -University of Iowa, for example. Pushing education and making more availble has been a social policy which has paid off very well for the US. ** Now explain to everyone how the OSU Ducks got on this list.....
