Hello, Dr. Thelwall

to conduct awebometric analysis in general?

Hello Mahmood,
ReplyDeleteI would recommend not to use this tool because there does not seem to be any explanation of where the numbers come from and there is no webometric research on the accuracy of the site. I would stick to AltaVista and Yahoo for links and Bing/Live Search for other types of webometrics research because these are well-known search engines and there is some research on their accuracy.
Best wishes,
Mike
Dr. Thellwall, how are you?
ReplyDeletePlease, what is the best tool can I use it for doing a webometric study about the academic web in one country, AltaViata or Google, Yahoo, SOCSINBOT? what is the difference between them?
sorry, Altavista...
