This classification is a version of the Ranking Web of Universities published by Webometric on June. This classification does not use the institutional profiles of Google Scholar Citations (GSC) at the request of many universities. Nonetheless, these data will be used as an indicator of transparency in the next edition of the Webometrics Ranking, which is expected for July 2018.

Google Scholar Citations offers a simple way to find the references of the articles so that they can verify who is referencing their publications, chart the references on time and calculate several metrics of the references.
