Webometrics ranking
Largest classification of higher educations institutions, 17,000+ universities
Conducted by Cybermetrics Lab (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain
http://www.webometrics.info/
Twice a year (January and July).
Disparity between Sri Lankan IR process and world ranking
UGC IR Manual on World Ranking
Whether Sri Lankan Universities should be encouraged to gain international rankings is another question before the academic community.
There appears to be little justification for adopting a ranking system purely for the local universities.
Webometrics ranking – Aims
To improve the presence of the academic and research institutions on the Web
To promote the open access publication of scientific results.
