An index earns its place here when an institution quotes it. Whether the wider world has heard of the publisher is beside the point: a table somebody has advertised a placement in is a table that counts.

Recorded placements 240

Institutions the Index records in this table. A placement here is a placement anywhere: the Index reports each institution's best, whatever its scope.
