Webometrics Ranking Methodology July 2023
There are several Webometrics ranking indicators that are used to show the performance of each university, although the scores are not used in the calculations. Based on information quoted from the official Webometrics website, the following indicators are currently being applied:
1. Visibility
Visibility indicators show the impact of the content of each university site. Webometrics looks at this indicator through the number of networks or external sites related to the official campus website. The source of the visibility indicator is Ahref Majestic and is weighted at 50 percent.
2. Transparency
What is meant by transparency indicators are the researchers who are cited. This indicator refers to the citations of 310 researchers, including the top 20 outliers. The source of the transparency indicator is Google Scholar Profiles and is given a weight of 10 percent.
3. Excellence
The excellence indicator refers to the most cited studies. This indicator is based on the amount of research among the top 10 percent most cited in each of 27 disciplinary fields.
The excellence indicators are obtained from data from 2018 to 2022 and sourced from Scimago. Webometrics gives 40 percent weight for this indicator.
