A new Cybermetrics ranking reveals the 2016 Top Philippine Schools by Google Scholar Citations, which provide a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles.
The 2016 Transparent Ranking: Top Universities by Google Scholar Citations show the diverse options for studying in Philippines. In the 2016 ranking, a total of 4,134 universities in the world were considered.
In the Philippines, only 11 universities were included in the list of rankings. University of the Philippines Diliman with 28,535 citations is ranked 1 in the country but 1,139 in the world, followed by the De La Salle University in Manila at number 1,795 in the world. University of Santo Tomas is ranked 3 and 2,948 worldwide with 2,569 citations.
Google Scholar Citations recently introduced the institutional profiles for providing rankings of scientists who shared the same standardized name and email address of an institution.
According to a statement on the Webometrics website, the ranking is an experiment for testing the suitability of including GSC data in the Rankings Web, but it is still in beta as there are many shortcomings that should be solved in future editions.
In the methodology only institutional profiles are chosen, data from the top 10 public profiles of each university are collected and the head of the list is excluded for improving representativeness. The figures are valid only at the time of collection.
Below is the complete list of 2016 Top Philippine Schools by Google Scholar Citations.
