The Webometrics Ranking of World Universities is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish National Research Council, CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. Every six months CSIC evaluates the criteria of universities’ activity in the Web and the quality and quantity of relevant information on university websites.

The number of a site’s indexed pages and external links as well as citation index and other factors are all taken into account when putting together a new ranking.
