Resumen

The objective was to evaluate the variation of the position of a Peruvian amazonian university in the Webometrics ranking after applying a model for researcher's digital identity management. For this, we carried out a pre-experimental, longitudinal study with 120 university professors trained to improve their skills in digital identity management and papers publication. We designated an applied a survey to determine the level of achievement of those skills. According to the results obtained, 26.7% and 73.3% of the professors achieved high and regular skills in managing the researcher's digital identity. It has been possible to develop skills for papers publication with correct institutional affiliation and in January 2019, the university went from position 64 to 46 in the ranking. The variation has been positive, as the university has improved its position in the Webometrics ranking.
