Four indicators. Fully disclosed. No black box. Every score is reproducible from public web and bibliometric data.
Webometric uses a transparent, reproducible methodology to rank higher education institutions worldwide. Each university receives a composite score based on four carefully weighted indicators.
All data is collected from publicly available sources and recalculated twice a year (January and July) to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Each indicator measures a distinct dimension of institutional excellence. Weights are published, versioned, and unchanged mid-cycle.
Volume and richness of an institution's web domain — pages, subdomains, and the density of academic content published openly.
Citations from top-cited authors publishing under the institution's domain, rewarding open, high-quality research dissemination.
Share of an institution's papers ranked among the world's most-cited 10% across all disciplines, over a rolling five-year window.
Number of external domains linking to the institution's site — a proxy for visibility, reputation, and network centrality.
All data used in Webometric rankings is derived from publicly available sources, ensuring full reproducibility and transparency.
All data is collected, processed, and verified through automated pipelines with manual quality assurance checks.
We believe that rankings should be open, verifiable, and free from hidden biases. Here's how we ensure transparency:
Webometric rankings are recalculated twice a year to keep data current and relevant.
All past editions are archived and available for historical comparison.
