The ranking studies 296 universities. Among them there are 239 that have obtained the same score, so they are in the same position and there are only 90 positions.

We work as precisely as possible so that the data we work with would be exact, however, we can not ensure the accuracy of all information from all universities because it has not always been possible to have direct information from from it.

In order to be transparent we offer the free download of all the information and statistical analyzes performed for this ranking. This makes it possible to verify the accuracy of the data we've used.

Download the recommended open source software

Just because the results are free that may help to make other related work. Help to enhance the culture and have more reports that provide useful information and be able to be downloaded and shared. PortalProgramas has released all the information and it's available for download. Spread free knowledge helps to create a more equal society and to get better technological results because there is no limits to take advantage of the knowledge provided by others.

Our interest is to spread this philosophy and one of the ways to do it is by downloading open source software. Definitely, knowing all the programs alternatives and choosing the best for us is the best way to represent freedom. For instance, you have the office suite LibreOffice, which is an open source alternative to Microsoft Office. Another great war within the software is about internet browsers. Open source browsers like Firefox are showing their quality beating apps like Internet Explorer. There are open source software alternatives to download any proprietary software: we recommend music and video players like VLC, or a great alternative to Photoshop image editor, the Gimp software.

If you are interested in knowing the software's world and downloading free apps, we recommend to start with these, and then check the thousands free applications available on internet.
