Several hours ago "Cybermetrics Laboratory of Information and Documentation Center of Scientific-CINDOC, who is part of part of the largest national research center in Spain, CSIC, used and published the ranking of universities for the first half of 2010 . The results for previous measurements have not undergone major changes with regard to the positioning of the Peruvian universities leading the list, so the PUCP ranks first in the national ranking, followed by San Marcos and USMP but The three major universities mentioned fell in the rankings in Latin America, led by the USP and the UNAM respectively.
is considerable impact on the Peruvian universities engaged in these types of measurements, whose practice has spread around the world to select and position the better institutions at the regional level. And although it seems that the controversy generated by these measurements are associated with it, it is important to clear some doubts and disputes arising under the criteria used to classify CINDOC educational institutions. With certain injustice
some underprivileged university students with the results of neglect and ranking have tried to downplay the reports published by the CINDOC (Webometrics), arguing that the methodology is restricted only the visibility of the universities' websites on the internet, when this is not just that. Webometrics uses a complex methodology comprising in effect a review cybermetric, including a quantitative analysis of published scientific production, in addition to conferences, seminars and conferences organized by the university in measurement. The latter is an indication that suggests the level of excellence in the home studio and if it is true, does not cover important aspects in determining quality, the degree of specialization of teachers and infrastructure used to form a pattern and set an idea of \u200b\u200bthe university education level studied. Also, if we consider the world ranking by Webometrics developed compared with other studies more focused approach, we found a strong similarity in the results for the top 10 of the best universities in the world and Latin America, which suggests a reflection worthy of these results.
On the other hand, the controversy about the low ranking position with prestigious universities such as the latest data and University of the Pacific, could be explained considering that both universities do not develop in all academic fields, specializing runs only administrative in nature, with low production in research and an academic setting rather small. That is why universities like the USMP, which covers many more areas of science and research increased production in that it implies, has been waiting posicionare a third place ranking. Considering also that the international accreditation for all races has been an important achievement, which is reflected in the recognition of the public.
