The Webometrics Ranking of World Universities, also known as Ranking Web of World Universities, is ranking system for the world's universities based on a composite indicator that takes into account both the volume of the Web contents (number of web pages and files) and the visibility and impact of these web publications according to the number of external inlinks(site citations) they received.

The ranking is published by the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) located in Madrid.

Which ranking is this? Webometrics, Qs or times?

This rankings uses different methodologies and ranking high doesn't necessarily mean quality graduate or research output. Webometrics for example, uses the online presence meaning it ranks by the content of university's' websites.

I wonder which ranking the article in the (sub)standard is referring to since UON ranked 12th (not 17th)in the current webomertics rankings
