The Relationship Between the Scientific Activities in Research Laboratories with Webometrics Ranking of Algerian Universities: An Empirical Investigation

Algeria has paid attention to the higher education and scientific research sector through five-year technological development programs (1998-2002, 2008-2012, 2014-2019). The study aims evaluate activities in Algerian universities within framework of programs, relationship by researchers laboratories with Webometrics ranking universities. It is eluted what are which have most impact on ranking. We adopted experimental, exploratory approach collecting, exploring, analyzing correlation between data from university rankings according number laboratories, citations, patents, published papers, each ranking, Spearman’s coefficient test strength signification these rankings. results showed various components scientific, material, human financial research, but it not enough. Also, despite many at improvement internationally university, this did contribute improving its global due weakness laboratories. result that interested virtual presence web, negatively affected conclude improve ranks aspects, they must their citations. Accordingly, international visibility universities, decision-makers adopt indicators ‘research quality’ (number citations), production’ (publications) financing accrediting
