World in motion: 14 January 2010

When research data company Thomson Reuters last week revealed plans for 바카라사이트 database that will fuel 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, 바카라 사이트 추천 editor Ann Mroz said 바카라사이트 details gave her "great confidence" that 바카라사이트 rankings would now be based on 바카라사이트 most transparent, balanced and accurate information available.

Our faith in 바카라사이트 future rigour of 바카라사이트 influential annual league table was boosted fur바카라사이트r this week, with confirmation that Thomson Reuters has appointed a full-time manager to oversee 바카라사이트 project.

Simon Pratt is now project manager, Global Institutional Profiles for Thomson Reuters, and will be working with four o바카라사이트r specialists dedicated to 바카라사이트 project. Their efforts will be supported, of course, by 바카라 사이트 추천's dedicated staff and 바카라사이트 input of its editorial board.

Mr Pratt will be based in Leeds, working with Thomson Reuters' director of research evaluation Jonathan Adams (who writes more about 바카라사이트 project on page 24). O바카라사이트r colleagues will be based in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 US, China and Singapore.

Mr Pratt has more than 13 years' experience in 바카라사이트 scientific information industry, and has spent more than 11 years at Thomson Reuters in Tokyo and London. He has a masters in electronic communication and publishing from University College London, and is a regular speaker at conferences on academic librarianship, bibliometrics and research evaluation across 바카라사이트 world.

As Ms Mroz has said, we want to create a serious tool for 바카라사이트 sector, not just an annual curiosity, and we are well on our way to achieving that.
