Online Impact: TAU 1st in Israel, Among Top 100 Worldwide

Tel Aviv University was ranked 73^rd out of more than 31,000 institutions worldwide, number one in Israel and third in Asia by Webometrics, a ranking system designed to measure the impact of academic knowledge made available online.

The ranking is published twice a year and was created to promote the availability of academic articles online and, more broadly, open access to academic research.

Webometrics’ higher education ranking is determined by three objective factors:

1. Impact (accounts for 50% of individual institution’s score), measured by the number of external networks linking to the institution’s webpages;
2. Openness (10%), measured by the number of citations from top 210 authors according to Google Scholar Profiles and
3. Excellence (40%), measured by the number of papers among the top ten percent most cited in a given field.

Hebrew University is ranked 165^th (on second place in Israel) and the Technion 226^th (on third place in Israel). A total of 44 Israeli institutions can be found among the top 22,504 institutions.
