DTU ranks sixth in the Top 10 Universities in Vietnam
Every six months, Webometrics ranks universities based on their web presence and impact. Their original objective was to promote online publication to promote Open Access initiatives, access to scientific publications and other academic materials. However, web statistics are very useful for ranking purposes too, as they are not only based on the number of visits or on page design but also on the global performance and visibility of the universities.
Experts agree that, due to the lack of academic papers published in high profile international journals, Vietnamese universities are ranked lower. Of the 23,887 educational institutions participating worldwide, Vietnam National University ranked 894th and was the only university of Vietnam in the top 1,000.
