What is webometrics ranking?

Webometrics Ranking of World Universities is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The ranking is based on several criteria, which are as follows:

  1. Presence: The number of web pages of the university indexed by search engines.
  2. Impact: The visibility of the university’s web pages outside its own web domain, measured by the number of external links to the institution’s web pages.
  3. Openness: The number of files published in the institutional repository.
  4. Excellence: The number of papers among the top 10% most cited in 26 disciplines.
  5. Scholar: The number of papers in the top 10% most cited in 26 disciplines.
