Informetric analyses on the world wide web: methodological approaches to ‘webometrics’

Abstract: This article introduces the application of informetric methods to the World Wide Web (WWW), also called Webometrics. A case study presents a workable method for general informetric analyses of the WWW. In detail, the paper describes a number of specific informetric analysis parameters. As a case study the Danish proportion of the WWW is compared to those of other Nordic countries. The methodological approach is comparable with common bibliometric analyses of the ISI citation databases. Among other results the … Show more

“…As Zhao & Logan (2002) point out, some studies apply, often with modifications, informetric principles and techniques to study the characteristics and link structures of the Web. Examples include studies on search engines that make use of hyperlink structure (Clever, 1999), and so-called "Webometrics" studies (Almind & Ingwersen, 1997;Cronin et al, 1998, Egghe, 2000Larson, 1996;Rousseau, 1997;Thelwall & Harries, 2004;Turnbull, 2000;Wilkinson et al, 2003). Other studies consider "electronic ingredients" in journal articles -either in reference lists or in abstracts -to gauge the impact of electronic publications on traditional print journal-based scholarly communication (Harter, 1992;Harter & Kim, 1996;ISI, 2004a;Lu, 1999;McCain, 2000;Youngen, 1997).…”

“…Em 1996 e 1997, Almind e Ingwersen 6 testaram e descreveram o núcleo essencial dessas opções, implementando-as para esboçar um quadro do uso da WWW na Dinamarca, comparando-o com a Noruega e a Suécia e complementando-o com um panorama dos tipos de página, disciplina, extensão e número de links da Web. A webmetria pode ser usada para muitos propósitos e, no contexto do programa Sociedade da Informação 2000 na Ásia, existem enormes possibilidades no uso da WWW e da Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) como instrumentos analíticos para atividades tais como o gerenciamento de decisões, busca de talentos em negóci-os e avaliação da pesquisa.…”

“…A análise de revistas científicas é tradicionalmente objeto de estudos das áreas da cienciometria (DOBROV & KARENNOI, 1969;WILSON, 1999) e de disciplinas relacionadas, como a informetria (NACKE, 1979;BROOKES 1988), a bibliometria (OTLET, 1934;PRITCHARD, 1969), a cibermetria (BJÖRNEBORN & INGWERSEN, 2004) e a webometria (ALMIND & INGWERSEN, 1997). Com diferentes fontes de informação, essas disciplinas têm buscado respostas para a evolução da atividade científica quanto a conhecimentos produzidos, perfis de autores, contextos institucionais, critérios de avaliação, entre outros fatores que auxiliam na compreensão dos processos de produção cientifica e bibliográfica da revista (BJÖRNEBORN & INGWERSEN, 2004).…”
