title: [How to rank if you must? Reflections on the book of Amy N. Langville and Carl D. Meyer].
abstract: More than ever, our life is permeated by rankings. This is true also in the world of scientific research. The responsibility of the producers of such rankings is significant, since their results may influence decisions determining human fates and careers. The reviewed book - in a rather special area of ranking only - exemplifies how a set of methodologies can be systematically compiled, and how various methods can be combined into comprehensive, multidimensional rating and ranking systems.
