Webometrics is the largest academic ranking in the world, that evaluates higher education institutes in their performance, presence, and impact. They publish a list twice a year indicating which are the best universities in the world.
This ranking is created with information the Lab Cibermetría del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in Spain gathers. They examine universities that have an independent web page, and they evaluate: presence (how many times the university’s URL comes up in online search results); impact (how many external links the web domain receives); openness (open access rich files such as PDFs, PS, DOC, and PPT, as well as articles in Google Scholar); and excellence (quality scientific production).
The university also believes that the ranking’s purpose is to show an updated view about the universities’ online performance, that also allows them to evaluate their policies and practices to gain higher international visibility.
