Webometric ranking is purely based on free articles found on google in pdf! Most of these articles have an impact factor of 0.05 with few citations..Universities in Nigeria are far behind in terms of research.if u r in doubt check researchgates.net and see the impact factors of nigerian lecturers

People can scream all they want here. We know the universities to reckon with in Nigeria. Even those Tier 1 Nigerian universities are no where when you measure them against other universities in the world.

I pray our universities grow and become a force in the world.

They keep insulting my UNI and pushing us down but we the alumni know what we got and the undergraduates know what they are getting so no shaking.

It is even surprising that we were mentioned in the first 10, myopic and ignorant people around are happy never to mention us, but we are happy that we are silently and continually revolutionizing academics, in our own way, and also making inroads in government and the organised private sector.

Malabite for life.

TheVictorious:
Webometrics has recently released the openness ranking of World universities for the second half of 2016, within which less than 50 Nigerian universities were included; With Harvard University (USA) coming first in the world as usual.

Openness refers to the total number of pdf files of a university according to google. It relies on information (statistics) of web publications of a University for a Specific period of time; available on google scholar. It therefore based on volume of research articles published by a university.

The quantity of google scholarly articles a university has reveals how much of research is being conducted by the university; which is what openness ranking is all about – a university’s research output.

Openness rank is a part of the many indicators that make up several university rankings, others being excellence, presence and visibility; for Webometrics. Although it does not exactly specify the impact of the research papers a university has; the openness indicator however reveals the extent to which a school is engaged in research, which is what world class institutions are known for.

Although no Nigerian university was among the first 1000 in the world, University of Nigeria ranked highest of the Nigerian universities on the list, followed by University of Ibadan, University of Ilorin and Covenant University respectively.

Nigerian universities fail to make list of world’s top 1,000
The Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) has just released
its 2016 ranking of universities across the world.
Sadly, no university in Nigeria made the list of the world’s top
1,000.
The ranking, released on Monday, placed Harvard University,
United States, on top as the best higher institution in the world,
followed by Stanford University, also in the U.S.
Another school in the U.S, the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, is the third best in the world.
Two universities in the United Kingdom, University of Cambridge
and the University of Oxford, are ranked fourth and fifth
respectively.
Five other American universities are also ranked within the top 10
– they are Columbia University, sixth position; University of
California, Berkley, seventh; University of Chicago, eighth;
Princeton University, ninth; and Yale University, 10th.
The U.S has a total number of 224 universities among the top
1,000, followed by China, with 90.
Japan has 74, while the United Kingdom has 65.
Others are: Germany, 56; France, 48; Italy, 48; Spain, 41; South
Korea, 36; Canada, 32; Australia, 27.
In Africa, only universities in South Africa and Egypt made the list.
South Africa has five, while Egypt has four.
For South Africa, the five universities and their rankings, according
to the CWUR, are: University of Witwatersrand, 176th; University of
Cape Town, 265th; Stellenbosch University, 329th; University of
KwaZulu-Natal, 468th; and the University of Pretoria, 697th.
The four from Egypt are Cairo University, 771st; Ain Shams
University, 960th; Mansoura University, 985th; and Alexandria
University, 995th.
No Nigerian university also made the list in 2015.
CWUR said it used eight objectives and robust indicators to rank
the world’s top 1,000 universities, and listed them as follows:
1) Quality of Education, measured by the number of a university’s
alumni who have won major international awards, prizes, and
medals relative to the university’s size [25%]
2) Alumni Employment, measured by the number of a university’s
alumni who have held CEO positions at the world’s top companies
relative to the university’s size [25%]
3) Quality of Faculty, measured by the number of academics who
have won major international awards, prizes, and medals [25%]
4) Publications, measured by the number of research papers
appearing in reputable journals [5%]
5) Influence, measured by the number of research papers
appearing in highly-influential journals [5%]
6) Citations, measured by the number of highly-cited research
papers [5%]
7) Broad Impact, measured by the university’s h-index [5%]
Patents, measured by the number of international patent filings
[5%]
