Scientometrics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The reproducibility of the results of university ranking systems and the problem of how to climb in rankings have been discussed in the literature for a long time. We created the simulation software WURS which can be a useful tool to shed light on these discussions. In this paper, we present the features and usage of WURS.
