11. Kita boleh Kira Sendiri!
• We know the Formula PRESENCE (20%). The global volume of contents published on the university webdomains as indexed by the largest
commercial search engine (Google). It counts every webpage, including all the formats recognized individually by
Google, both static and dynamic pages. For the purposes of the Ranking the web presence is a good proxy of the
activities performed by the Universities in the 21st century.
IMPACT (50%). The quality of the contents is evaluated through a "virtual referendum", counting all the external
inlinks that the University webdomain receives from third parties. Those links are recognizing the institutional
prestige, the academic performance, the value of the information, and the usefulness of the services as introduced
in the webpages according to the criteria of millions of web editors from all over the world. The link visibility data is
collected from the two most important providers of this information: Majestic SEO and ahrefs, that provides an
overlapping scenario very close to a true global coverage
OPENNESS (15%). The global effort to set up institutional research repositories is explicitly recognized in this
indicator that takes into account the number of rich files (pdf, doc, docx, ppt) published in dedicated websites
according to the academic search engine Google Scholar. Only correctly formed file names are considered (for
example, the Adobe Acrobat files should end with the suffix .pdf) for the period 2007-2011.
EXCELLENCE (15%). The academic papers published in high impact international journals are playing a very important
role in the ranking of Universities. Deepening the commitment to this measurement started in previous edition we
are introducing the Excellence indicator, the university scientific output being part of the 10% of the most cited
papers in their respective scientific fields. Although this is a measure of high quality output of research
institutions, the data provider Scimago group supplied non-zero values for more than 5200 universities (period 2003-
2010).
