In this edition, Webometrics maintains the same ranking methodology as in January 2022. Specifically, Visibility has the highest weight (50%), followed by Excellence (40%) and Transparency (10%). Also in this ranking, the dramatic growth of VNU’s Visibility – from 1316th in January 2022 to 656th globally in August 2022, has shown an increase in VNU’s web content impact not only on the domestic and international academic community but also on the whole society.
