Webometrics, administered through Webometrics.org, is a global university ranking system that evaluates the multidimensional performance of higher education institutions. Unlike rankings that focus primarily on research output, Webometrics assesses universities based on their digital presence, academic influence, openness, and global visibility, using web performance as a proxy for real-world institutional impact.

The Webometrics ranking covers more than 32,000 higher education institutions across over 200 countries and is updated twice a year, in January and July. Multiple data points are gathered for each indicator, with the maximum valid value used to ensure consistency and reliability.
