New Webometrics Ranking
The new Webometrics ranking is out.
Some interesting points
The top 20 are all in the USA.
The best non-US university is Cambridge at 27.
British universities do not do very well. Oxford is at 37, University College London at 57 and Imperial at 157 while Webometrics joins the anti-LSE conspiracy by putting it at 234.
The top European universities seem to be in the North -- Edinburgh, Oslo, Helsinki. Something about the cold weather?
Regional Rankings
Best in Latin America: Sao Paulo
Best in Europe: Cambridge
Best in Central and Eastern Europe: Charles University
Best in Asia: Tokyo
Best in South East Asia: National University of Singapore
Best in South Asia: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Best in the Arab World: King Saud University
Best in Oceania: Australian National University
Best in Africa: Cape Town
Finally Israeli universities should get a special award for mobility. They manage to be in Asia and Europe at the same time.
A couple of comments from the editors of the Webometrics Ranking.
ReplyDeleteYou are forgetting the impressive performance of the Canadian universities, second only to US ones.
Regarding British universities, they are clearly leading the European ranking, 3 out of the Top five. Obviously they are losing ground against the US institutions on the Web, mainly because of bad practices, like a wrong naming domain policy of Imperial College, the lack of a good repository of Oxford, incorrect positioning of the UCL web pages, etc.
Nice dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
