Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has retained the first position for the sixth time in the biannual Webometrics ranking among Polytechnics
This is contained in a statement by YABATECH Deputy Registrar, Mr Joe Ejiofor, in Lagos.
Ejiofor said the College also moved up by two steps, displaced other universities, widened the gap between the College and the first runner-up polytechnic by 17 steps, and improved upon its January 2023 position.
According to Ejiofor, Webometric is a ranking of higher institutions of learning; it uses both Webometric and Bibliometric (research) indicators.
Webometrics ranking is based on web content impact, top-cited researchers, and papers published on research and publication platforms online.
The primary objective is to promote open access to the knowledge generated by institutions.
