Webometrics is concerned with measuring aspects of the web: web sites, web pages, parts of web pages, words in web pages, hyperlinks, web search engine results. The importance of the web itself as a communication medium and for hosting an increasingly wide array of documents, from journal articles to holiday brochures, needs no introduction. Given this huge and easily accessible source of information, there are limitless possibilities for measuring or counting on a huge scale (e.g., the number of web sites, the number of web pages, the number of blogs) or on a smaller scale (e.g., the number of web sites in Ireland, the number of web pages in the CNN web site, the number of blogs mentioning Barack Obama before the 2008 presidential campaign). This book argues that it can be useful for social scientists to measure aspects of the web and explains how this can be achieved on both a small and large scale. The book is intended for social scientists with research topics that are wholly or partly online (e.g., social networks, news, political communication) and social scientists with offline research topics with an online reflection, even if this is not a core component (e.g., diaspora communities, consumer culture, linguistic change). The book is also intended for library and information science students in the belief that the knowledge and techniques described will be useful for them to guide and aid other social scientists in their research. In addition, the techniques and issues are all directly relevant to library and information science research problems.

The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic requires the Timor Leste government to make a school from home policy. This policy has encouraged several universities to improve the quality of their distance learning services. However, it seems that the government has not gone deep enough to conduct a preliminary study on each university website's readiness to face this. Based on previous research, the university website impact factor is one of the criteria for increasing webometrics rankings. Still, it is not explained in detail the types of referring pages and domains that can affect webometrics rankings. This research investigates the extent to which R-WIF affects webometrics and examines the factors that can improve the university website's quality. We surveyed the revised web impact factor (R-WIF) at seven universities in Timor Leste to determine their academic sites' relative standing. The results show, although some universities have increased the number of backlinks, the webometrics university ranking prefers backlinks that come from high-authorization sites such as .edu and .gov. The correlation value indicates this phenomenon between R-WIF and Webometrics of 0.464, which means moderate. Universities in Timor Leste need to implement several strategies to improve Webometrics rankings, especially visibility.

One of the Agenda 3 subject material, for participant in basic training of civil servant candidates (CPNS) Group III is Whole of Government (WoG). These CPNS are prospective young lecturers at various universities in Indonesia. The presence of WoG training subject, it is hoped that the prospective young lecturers can quickly actualize the concepts and implementation of WoG concepts in higher education in a policy perspective in Indonesia. Problems faced by Indonesia universities is the website ranking is still low based on Webometrics. The development of a website must have sufficient insight into the concept of Dynamic Archives, the concept of e-Government and the concept of WoG that are interrelated and have an impact. It is because of universities have vision and mission to become World Class University (WCU), and one of efforts to reach that by increasing the international ranking in Webometrics.

H-index has been widely used as a performance indicator of researchers around the world especially in Indonesia. The Government uses Scopus and Google scholar as indexing references in providing recognition and appreciation. However, those two indexing services yield to different H-index values. For that purpose, this paper evaluates the difference of the H-index from those services. Researchers indexed by Webometrics, are used as reference's data in this paper. Currently, Webometrics only uses H-index from Google Scholar. This paper observed and compared corresponding researchers' data from Scopus to get their H-index score. Subsequently, some researchers with huge differences in score are observed in more detail on their paper's publisher. This paper shows that the H-index of researchers in Google Scholar is approximately 2.45 times of their Scopus H-Index. Most difference exists due to the existence of uncertified publishers, which is considered in Google Scholar but not in Scopus.

This research managed the strengthening of science, technology and innovation of online programs in a Colombian higher education institution (HEI), by applying Scientometric, altmetric, cybermetric, webometric, informatics, and bibliometric strategies in research, science, technology and innovation. This allowed managing to incorporate investigative processes structuring R & D + i in the daily dynamics of the institution. These were applied to the current resources of both the physical and the technological infrastructure as well as to their human resources, resulting in scientific communities of interest that promote the consolidation of knowledge base researchers which articulate formative research along with applied research, thus encouraging future experimentation scenarios. The methodology used in this research is the quantitative-exploratory descriptive approach. The investigation began by exploring the participants in the process which involved people, institutional and government policies. Then it proceeded to interpret the results on the identification of actors in the Administrative Department of Science, Technology and Innovation of Colombia (Colciencias, given its Spanish acronym). Among other elements, the purpose was to identify the properties, characteristics and profiles of people with a resume showing experience in research— even if not a strong one. Indicators for each tool in the short, medium and long term were designed. For the case Uniminuto Virtual y a Distancia Colombia— Online and Long Distance Uniminuto Colombia-- the findings from 2017 and 2018 reflect an increase in the results, which are proportional to the application of cohesion rates with the employment of synthesized indicators based on the recognition model of the country, and a specific view for the strengthening of a scientific culture suitable to the environment in which the HEI develops. ; La investigación desarrollada logra el fortalecimiento de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación, en una institución de educación superior (IES) colombiana, en los programas académicos que oferta en la modalidad de educación a distancia, aplicando estrategias de cienciometría, altimetría, cibermetría, webometría, informetría y bibliometría en la investigación, la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en su sistema de investigación científica, logrando incorporar en las dinámicas cotidianas de la institución procesos de estructuración de I+D+I. Se aplicó a los recursos actuales, tanto de infraestructura física como de tecnológica y de recursos humanos disponibles, obteniendo como resultados comunidades científicas de interés que propician la consolidación de investigadores de base que articulan la investigación formativa con la investigación aplicada o situada, o propiamente dicha, propiciando escenarios de experimentación futura. La metodología aplicada es cuantitativa exploratoria-descriptiva; se inició indagando a los participantes del proceso, lo que incluyó personas y políticas institucionales y gubernamentales, para luego proceder a interpretar los resultados de reconocimiento de actores del Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación [Colciencias], de Colombia, con el fin de identificar las propiedades, características y perfiles de personas con el mínimo curriculum vitae como investigador, entre otros fenómenos. Se diseñaron indicadores para cada herramienta a corto, mediano y largo plazo. En el caso de estudio Uniminuto Virtual y a Distancia Colombia, los resultados en los años 2017 y 2018 reflejan el incremento proporcional a la aplicación de índices de cohesión, aplicando indicadores sintéticos de acuerdo con el modelo de reconocimiento del país, con la visibilidad especifica en el fortalecimiento de una cultura científica adecuada para el entorno en el cual se desarrolla la IES.

"This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Romero-Frías, E.; Vaughan, L. European Political Trends Viewed Through Patterns of Web Linking. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 61(10): 2109-2121 (2010), which has been published in final form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.21375 . This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving." ; This study explored the feasibility of using Web hyperlink data to study European political Web sites. Ninety-six European Union political parties belonging to a wide range of ideological, historical and linguistic backgrounds were included in the study. Various types of data on Web links to party Websites were collected. The Web co-link data were visualized using multidimensional scaling (MDS) while the inlink data were analyzed with a two-way analysis of variance test. The results showed that Web hyperlink data did reflect some political patterns in the European Union (EU). The MDS maps showed clusters of political parties along ideological, historical, linguistic and social lines. Statistical analysis based on inlink counts further confirmed that there was a significant difference along the line of the political history of a country, such that left-wing parties in the former communist countries received considerably fewer inlinks to their Websites than left-wing parties in countries without a history of communism did. The study demonstrated the possibility of using Web hyperlink data to gain insights into political situations in the EU. This suggests the richness of Web hyperlink data and its potential in studying social-political phenomena. ; The second author is supported by a research grant on from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

The final version is available at: http://jis.sagepub.com ; This national-level study intends to describe the existing relationships between the number of web pages, inlinks to and outlinks from Europe and national or internal links in the European Higher Education Area through a sample of 535 European universities web domains. Several geographical maps are introduced to summarize and visualize this statistical information. The main result shows that larger countries link less to the remaining European countries, while the smaller ones are characterized by their link profusion to the European zone. The great presence of national links in large and medium size countries confirms that the European academic web space is shaped by the aggregation of national sub-networks, while the similar low presence in small countries suggests that these are linked to another large country.

Web Logfiles protokollieren Benutzertransaktionen auf Webservern und bieten aufgrund ihres Umfangs, ihrer Eigenschaften und Potenziale ein ausgezeichnetes Untersuchungsfeld für heutige Informations- und Onlineverhaltensstudien. Die empirische, explorative Untersuchung aus den Bereichen Web Mining, Webometrics und Logfileanalyse stellt neue Gesichtspunkte und Analysemöglichkeiten für Logdaten vor. Zu diesem Zweck entwickelt und testet die Arbeit ein quantitatives, nicht-reaktives Messverfahren (Logmetrik „Web Entry Faktoren“), das anhand von einfachen Web Logdaten, Aussagen über die Zugänglichkeit und Sichtbarkeit von hochfrequentierten Einstiegspunkten einer Website ermöglicht. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die drei unterscheidbaren Navigationsarten im Web „Navigation über Suchmaschinen“, „Navigation über Backlinks“ und „direkte Navigation“. Die Untersuchung integriert ein Klassifikationsschema für Webseiten sowie den prominenten externen Parameter PageRank der heute wichtigsten Suchmaschine Google. Untersuchungsgegenstand sind Web Logfiles zweier kompletter Jahrgänge (2000 und 2002) des Webservers des Instituts für Bibliothekswissenschaft an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (http://www.ib.hu-berlin.de/), sowie die 100 am häufigsten genutzten Einstiegsseiten dieser akademischen Universitäts-Website. ; Web log files record user transactions on web servers and offer due to their extent, their properties and potential an excellent investigation field for contemporary information and online behaviour studies. The empirical, explorative investigation from the fields Web Mining, Webometrics and Logfile Analysis introduces new aspects and analysis possibilities for web log data. The study develops and tests a quantitative, non-reactive measure method (log metric "Web Entry Factors"), that allows statements about the accessibility and visibility of highly frequented entry points of a web site. The three distinguishable web navigation types "navigation about search engines", "navigation about backlinks" and "direct navigation" are focused. The study integrates a classification scheme for web pages as well as the prominent external parameter PageRank from the today most important search engine Google. Investigation subject are Web log files of two complete age-groups (in 2000 and 2002) of the web server of the Institute for Library Science at the Humboldt University to Berlin (http://www.ib.hu-berlin.de/), as well as the 100 most frequently used entry pages of this academic university web site.
