"The ranking is published twice a year and takes into account four criteria - the number of external links, website size, openness, academic quality. The Department of Corporate Websites Development systematically works on each ranking criteria. It stands to mention the work of content managers of the university units, staff and faculty. Their well coordinated work allows the university to achieve high rates", Alena Ivanova, Department Manager of Corporate Websites Development of NEFU Information Policy and Communicative Technologies Management, said.

For example, “Excellence” criterion (Academic quality) estimates the number of the university research papers - documents, reports, publications, included in the group of 10% of the most cited papers in the relevant scientific fields over the past five years.

"The most significant indicator - “Impact” takes into account the number of links from other resources. The other three indicators give 50% of the ranking", the department manager of Corporate Websites Development said.

Experts of the international ranking range about 22 thousand institutions of higher education in the world. This year NEFU improved its positions - in August 2015, the University took the 50th place among the universities of Russia. NEFU has risen to 2265th place worldwide: last year the university took the 3232 position.
