The website Webometrics.org provides an independent ranking of universities based on the same known measurement indicators (impact, openness, and scientific excellence). However, it is published by a different entity not affiliated with the original Spanish source of the Webometrics ranking. It operates as an independent project despite using the same name, brand, and indicators, following the cessation of the original Spanish site Webometrics.info from publishing updates through its traditional platform during 2025.
