LTSNU in the Ranking Web of Universities

27.7.2021

The Ranking Web of World Universities as of July 2021 was published. 

The Spanish National Research Council has published the next edition of the Ranking Web of Universities (Webometrics). According to the updated results, our university retained the 36th position among the higher educational institutions of Ukraine.

In the European ranking, we got the 1321st place, and in January we were on the 1369th. In addition, in the world ranking, our university took the 4365th position, and half a year ago – it was the 4624th position.

It should be reminded that the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities is one of the most authoritative rankings in the international educational environment. It represents over 12,000 universities and educational institutions from all over the world. As of July 2021, 315 Ukrainian higher educational institutions received their ranking web sites, including Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University.

The Ranking is based on an analysis of the official websites of educational institutions, therefore, only those universities that have their own independent web domain are included in the Ranking.

In the process of compiling the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities, developers take into account the number of pages on websites in the main domain of the institution (including subdomains and directories), which are indexed by the Google search engine; a combination of the number of external links to the university domain, calculated by Ahrefs and Majestic; the number of cited works by the top 110 authors of the institution (the top ten most cited authors are excluded) in Google Scholar; the number of publications of university scientists in international scientific journals included in the top 10% of the most cited in 26 fields of science according to the Scimago ranking (for the five-year period 2015-2019). Thus, the content and informational component of the website of the educational institution is assessed.
