Webometrics World University Ranking is prepared twice a year by the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Spanish National Research Council) in Madrid. The comparison focuses primarily on university web communication. The rankings does not take into account scientific achievements, but rather materials published online by individual universities.

The criteria taken into account include impact (how often other sites redirect to the content on the university website), presence (the number of sub-pages in the domain which belongs to the university), openness (the number of documents, e.g. doc, pdf, available on the website), as well as excellence (participation of universities in the most cited scientific publications). The authors reserve that in particular editions the methods for evaluating universities may vary.
