Testing Differences Statistically with the Leiden Ranking
Computers and Society
2011-12-20 v1
Abstract
The Leiden Ranking 2011/2012 provides the Proportion top-10% publications (PP top 10%) as a new indicator. This indicator allows for testing the difference between two ranks for statistical significance.
