Webometrics Ranking Methodology
 
The Webometrics ranking does not merely evaluate the design quality of a university's website. Rather, it utilizes digital presence as a proxy to reflect multifaceted performance, including academic output, research strength, transparency in knowledge dissemination, and international recognition. The evaluation is based on three primary indicators:  
 
 Impact or Visibility (50%): Assessed by the number of external networks linking to the institution's webpages (External Referring Domains).  
 
 Excellence (40%): Evaluated based on the number of research papers positioned in the top 10% of the most cited papers globally, utilizing data from the Scopus/SCImago databases.  
 
 Openness or Transparency (10%): Measured by the number of citations from top researchers' profiles on Google Scholar.
