Currently, composite indicator measures 50% VISIBILITY for the impact based on academic performance and another 50% for ACTIVITY which compose of presence or the total number of webpages hosted in the main webdomain of the university, openness or the global effort to set up institutional research repositories and excellence or academic papers published in high impact international journals.

SCIC said that the aim of the ranking is to improve the presence of the academic and research institutions on the Web and to promote the open access publication of scientific results. The central hypothesis of Webometrics is that web presence is a reliable indicator of the global performance and prestige of the universities and as such, is an indirect way to measure all the university missions (teaching, research, transfer).
