En este artículo revisamos los principales rankings que utilizan datos de investigación para clasificar a las universidades. Las bibliotecas universitarias en España han ido desarrollando servicios de apoyo a la actividad investigadora y, en muchas ocasiones, se han convertido en verdaderas unidades de bibliometría donde se analiza la producción científica de la institución. Los rankings de universidades, entre otros criterios que miden los resultados en investigación, utilizan las publicaciones científicas y los factores de impacto en determinadas bases de datos, esto es especialmente interesante para los bibliotecarios que deben conocer el alcance de los mismos ya que sirven para posicionar a las universidades y subyacen en la dura competencia por la captación de recursos y de estudiantes, además de tener una gran repercusión en los medios de comunicación. A modo de ejemplo, incluimos el posicionamiento de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha en los principales rankings universitarios desde el punto de vista de la investigación.
