El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el volumen de vídeos sobre Covid-19 publicados y difundidos a través de YouTube y relacionados directa o indirectamente con el territorio nacional español, caracterizar su impacto (en términos de visualizaciones, likes y comentarios recibidos), y finalmente categorizar los canales a través de los cuales se han difundido. Para ello se han analizado 39.531 vídeos publicados entre el 1 enero y el 30 de abril de 2020. Los resultados muestran que el número de vídeos sobre Covid-19 aumentaron a partir del establecimiento del estado de alarma en España y, poco a poco, han ido disminuyendo en el tiempo, con ciertos repuntes vinculados a decisiones políticas. Los vídeos logran en promedio un gran número de visualizaciones, likes/dislikes y comentarios, y han sido publicados principalmente por medios de comunicación. Los vídeos relacionados con blogs y entretenimiento son muy numerosos pero con menor impacto. Los vídeos pertenecientes a las categorías de Educación y Ciencia y Tecnología son menos numerosos pero con un alto impacto, especialmente en visualizaciones. De forma complementaria, se concluye que los criterios de ordenación de YouTube no son lo suficientemente precisos como para ser utilizados en estudios informétricos sin una alta carga de trabajo en limpieza de datos. Así mismo, la existencia de canales que aplican estrategias engañosas de posicionamiento dificulta la realización de este tipo de estudios.
Background: Subsequent publication rate of abstracts presented at meetings is seen as an indicator of the interest and quality of the meeting. We have analyzed characteristics and rate publication in peer-reviewed journals derived from oral communications and posters presented at the 1999 College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) meeting.
Resumen: Se estudia la evolución del tamaño y visibilidad de los dominios web de las universidades públicas españolas desde enero hasta junio de 2009 en función de diversos buscadores web (Google, Yahoo!, Live/Bing y Exalead). Asimismo, se proponen el factor de representatividad relativa media en tamaño (Rs) y el factor de representatividad relativa media en visibilidad (Rv) como indicadores para conocer la importancia de un dominio, en número de documentos y de enlaces externos respectivamente, durante un intervalo temporal, con el propósito de ser aplicados en el diseño y construcción de rankings de universidades basados en técnicas cibermétricas. Los resultados confi rman que las diferencias de tamaño entre los dominios académicos web son muy grandes según el buscador utilizado, por lo que el uso de un único buscador no permite conocer de forma fi able el tamaño real de un dominio web. Además, el empleo de valores combinados a partir de la media obtenida en cada buscador no ofrece resultados fi ables, dada la varianza de datos obtenida entre buscadores así como los diferentes índices obtenidos de Rs. Las diferencias en visibilidad son menores aunque igualmente signifi cativas. Se comprueba que los indicadores Rs y Rv proporcionan información útil y coherente acerca del grado de evolución de las universidades en la Web durante un intervalo temporal determinado. Se obtiene asimismo una correlación positiva entre estos dos indicadores tanto en Yahoo! como en Exalead, que confi rma la relación entre el tamaño documental de un dominio académico web y el número de enlaces que recibe a lo largo del tiempo.Palabras clave: Universidades públicas españolas, dominios académicos web, tamaño web, visibilidad web, España, ranking de universidades. Web presence and visibility of Spanish public universities
PREPRINT. Please cite as: Orduña-Malea, E., Ontalba-Ruipérez, J-A. (2013). Selective linking from social platforms to university websites: a case study of the Spanish academic system. Scientometrics, v. 95(2) Abstract Mention indicators have frequently been used in Webometric studies because they provide a powerful tool for determining the degree of visibility and impact of web resources. Among mention indicators, hypertextual links were a central part of many studies until Yahoo! discontinued the 'linkdomain' command in 2011. Selective links constitute a variant of external links where both the source and target of the link can be selected. This paper intends to study the influence of social platforms (measured through the number of selective external links) on academic environments, in order to ascertain both the percentage that they constitute and whether some of them can be used as substitutes of total external links. For this purpose, 141 URLs belonging to 76 Spanish universities were compiled in 2010 (before Yahoo! stopped their link services), and the number of links from 13 selected social platforms to these universities were calculated. Results confirm a good correlation between total external links and links that come from social platforms, with the exception of some applications (such as Digg and Technorati). For those universities with a higher number of total external links, the high correlation is only maintained on Delicious and Wikipedia, which can be utilized as substitutes of total external links in the context analyzed. Notwithstanding, the global percentage of links from social platforms constitute only a small fraction of total links, although a positive trend is detected, especially in services such as Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook.
Orduña Malea, E.; Alonso-Arroyo, A. (2016). Identifying institutional relationships in a geographically distributed public health system using interlinking and coauthorship methods. Scientometrics. 106(3):1167-1191. doi:10.1007/s11192-016-1839-z. Abstract Link analysis is highly effective in detecting relationships between different institutions, relationships that are stronger the greater their geographical proximity. We therefore decided to apply an interlinking analysis to a set of geographically dispersed research entities and to compare the results with the co-authorship patterns between these institutions in order to determine how, and if, these two techniques might reveal complementary insights. We set out to study the specific sector of public health in Spain, a country with a high degree of regional autonomy. We recorded all Spanish health entities (and their corresponding URLs) that belong to, and were hyperlinked from, the national government or any of the regional governments, gathering a total of 263 URLs. After considering their suitability for web metric analysis, interlinking scores between all valid URLs were obtained. In addition, the number of coauthored articles by each pair of institutions and the total scientific output per institution were retrieved from Scopus. Both interlinking and co-authorship methods detect the existence of strength subnets of geographically distributed nodes (especially the Catalan entities) as well as their high connectivity with the main national network nodes (subnet of nodes distributed according to dependence on national government, in this case Spain). However, the resulting interlinking pattern shows a low but significant correlation (r=0.5) with scientific co-authorship patterns. The existence of institutions that are strongly interlinked but with limited scientific collaboration (and vice versa) reveals that links within this network are not accurately reflecting existing scientific collaborations, due to inconsistent web content development.
