Webometrics deals with measuring aspects of the Web like websites, webpages, parts of webpages, words in webpages, hyperlinks, and Web search engine results. An attempt has been made to analyse Odisha universities’ websites or web portals by applying the webometric indicators to check their existence and performance in the virtual globe and rank them according to data availability on the basis of WIF and R-WIF. Further, with Spearman’s Rank Correlation it was found that WIF and R-WIF are correlated and associated, where there is very less difference between the two ranking methods.
