Hi Alex,

There was a thread discussing the webometrics requirements. I would say
that there was nothing close to universal agreement with these proposed
requirements from the DSpace community.

For instance, a site would be penalized for using HTTPS, which among other
things runs counter to Google SEO best practices
<http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html>.
Works in an archive being easily findable through Google search / Google
Scholar is very important to many people.

Not to open a can of worms. But, I see that there are some additional items
that have been added to the webometrics requirements. The document is not
versioned, so it will be hard to track the differences.

(new #8) Repositories connected to CRIS are excluded.

(old #8, new #9) It looks like they used to have a requirement of 50% of
documents being open access, this is now 90% open access, or else archive
excluded.

(new #10) Repositories without author profiles combining article-level
metrics will be excluded
- DSpace had a proposal to add author profiles to DSpace 5
<https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/668>. Actual working code, used in
some production instances already. That didn't get incorporated into DSpace
due to concern over the repositories role in managing people's biographical
information. And also over the architecture of how DSpace would hold this
information. The plan, regardless of this webometrics proposal, is to
revisit author profiles in DSpace for a future version.
