- the graphical setup of the Ranks page has been updated.

- year has been replaced with "calendar year" to reflect actual computation parameters.

- the self-citation rate has been added to the Developmental parameters. Self-citation rate = n dependent / n independent. With high proportions of self-citations, we advise against using any citation metrics since high rates of self-citation may herald also other spurious features (for more details on self-citation see Ioannidis JPA et al., PLoS Biol, 2019).

- the multicitation rate has been added to the Developmental parameters. Multicitation rate = proportion of independent citations citing more than two publications from this author. High values may point to "citation farms" (for more details on multicitation see Ioannidis JPA et al., PLos Biol, 2019).

______________
