Hi Anne-Wil,

I think it was UTAR.  See: http://rankingwatch.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/

I quote: "What actually happened to UTAR is that it has an outstanding medical researcher who is involved in a massive international medical project with hundreds of collaborators from hundreds of institutions that produces papers that have been cited hundreds of times and will in the next few years be cited thousands of times. One of these papers had, by my count, 720 contributors from 470 universities and research centres and has so far received 1,036 citations, 695 in 2016 alone."

All best
Lizzie

Hello,


I remember this (which is more general) but also a case about someone who made himself very highly cited...

Subject: Is your memory better than mine? Mega-authored papers and rankings
 

LIS members,

Can anyone remember the case where a particular university in the Middle East (?) stormed up the THE (?) rankings because they had one individual (a visiting prof even?) who was heavily involved in these mega-authored papers (papers with 1000+ authors).

I have Googled for half an hour, but can't seem to find it. Hope someone remembers.
