Webometrics evaluates the performance of more than 32,000 universities worldwide based on three indicators:
- Visibility – the number of external sources containing backlinks to the university’s web pages, calculated using Ahrefs and Majestic indicators – 50%.
- Transparency – the number of citations in top author profiles of the university according to Google Scholar Citations – 10%.
- Excellence – the number of articles included in the top 10% most cited according to Scimago calculations – 40%.
KhNURE ranks 8th in the Excellence indicator.
It’s worth noting that this is the first edition of the ranking with institutional identifiers RoR. Considering the declared goal of the ranking – promotion of open science, the organizers decided to support the RoR initiative and continue to use RoR identifiers in their own database.
