Webometrics.org (https://www.webometrics.org/) is a global platform for university rankings designed to reflect the multidimensional performance of higher education institutions. Unlike traditional rankings that focus solely on research, Webometrics evaluates universities based on their digital presence, academic impact, openness, and global visibility.

*We note that organizations conducting university ranking assessments periodically change their criteria, and as a result, there may be certain changes in universities' positions on the ranking lists.
