Study on the correlation of web repository ranking to the green campus ranking of Indonesian Universities

This paper presents the analysis of fourteen universities Institutional Repository based on webometrics (IR webometrics) ranking and their relation to the universities position in the UI greenmetric ranking. The UI Greenmetric ranking provides opportunities for each university to examine their strength and weakness in promoting green university and sustainable development based on six indicators. Universities that have good Institutional Repository should also have concern about the environmental management of the campus. The purpose of this study was to measure the correlation between all of variables in IR webometric rank and UI greenmetric rank of Indonesia universities, how the correlation between variables of both. The correlations between IR Webometric rank and UI Greenmetric rank we analysed using Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient in SPSS tools. The result showed that the correlation between visibility factor (IR webometrics) and waste factor (UI greenmetric). The visibility of the repository is highly related to the waste treatment policy in these 14 universities, with 0.762 correlation indicator of value.
