Webometrics ranking is not only based on the volume of the Web contents, university web presence, and web access but also focuses on enhancing electronic publications of research results, academic papers and scientific information.
This ranking system measures how strongly a university is present in the web by its own web domain, sub-pages, rich files, scholarly articles etc., especially, research results and number of publications in Scopus database.
In the ranking, Vietnamese universities are ranked lower due to the lack of academic papers published in high profile international journals.
