Universities by Research h-index in Spain
Universities and colleges ranked by OpenAlex's institutional h-index, which combines publication volume and citation impact. This is a research metric, not a measure of teaching quality. OpenAlex is an open scholarly index; larger and older institutions tend to have more indexed research.
