Ranking Web of Universities (webometrics.info). January 2025 edition

The Ranking Web (Webometrics) has been published since 2004 with the aim of promoting open access to the knowledge generated by universities. The January 2025 edition includes almost 32,000 higher education institutions (HEIs) from around the world. The ranking model is based on both webometric and bibliometric indicators, which are collected from reliable sources such as Majestic, Google Scholar, and Scimago-Scopus. Web data is gathered during the first days of January, while bibliometric information covers the period from 2019 to 2023. The results are historically consistent with those published by other ranking entities for top universities, but Webometrics provides data on many institutions from the Global South that are not covered by other rankings.
