“…Aguillo, Granadino y Llamas (2005) realizaron una primera aproximación a la web académica iberoamericana desde criterios de diseño y posicionamiento, mientras Caraballo-Pérez et al (2008) describieron la web académica cubana desde estos mismos criterios. Aguillo (2005) y Aguillo et al (2007) defi nieron indicadores de contenido para la evaluación de este espacio web.…”

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar de una forma visual la red de dominios web universitarios más importantes de Iberoamérica. En él se muestra las característi-cas topológicas y se describe las relaciones web entre universidades de diferentes países y continentes. Se seleccionaron las primeras 350 instituciones iberoamericanas de educación superior del Ranking Web of World Universities y se extrajeron sus enlaces a partir de Yahoo! Search. Se construyeron con estos datos mapas geográfi cos y gráfi cos de redes. Se utilizaron técnicas de Análisis de Redes Sociales para analizar y describir las propiedades estructurales de toda la red y sus nodos. Los resultados muestran que la red iberoamericana está constituida por subredes nacionales que se fusionan en un núcleo central. La subred española domina la red iberoamericana, la cual está dividida en dos regiones lingüísticas: portugués (Brasil y Portugal) y español (los restantes países hispanoamericanos).Palabrasclave: visualización de información, análisis de redes sociales, cibermetría, web universitaria.

“…Ortega and Aguillo [26] analysed the Web Rank of Latin-American universities, as well as the hyperlinks among them [27], and found both a high degree of cohesion in the academic network and a strong national tendency; the universities seem to interlink considerably more with other universities from the same country. Other examples within the Latin-American sphere include the works of Caraballo-Pérez et al [28] and Arencibia [29], who studied the Cuban academic Web.…”

In this paper, an analysis of interlinking between 100 major European universities is given. Since websites contain links to webpages for other organizations, they may reveal the strongest relationships established between two organizations. This analysis of web links allowed us to determine the different behaviours among the universities with regard to incoming or outgoing web links; some universities had significantly greater incoming than outgoing activity. In general, there was a low level of interaction between the universities studied. Also, we observed the existence of geographic-linguistic patterns in establishing links. Five primary nuclei or blocks of universities can be identified: the group composed almost exclusively of universities from the UK; the group composed in large part of German universities, along with some from Switzerland and Austria; the cluster of universities from Mediterranean countries, including various French universities; the group of Belgian and Dutch universities, along with some from French-speaking Switzerland; and finally, the group made up of universities from the Nordic countries. Although there are some universities that overlap with several groups or clusters, the overall design is rather clear. On the other hand, the whole picture seems to agree with the results of other studies based on bibliographic co-authorship production.

Purpose -This article aims to display the structure and reveal the web influence of institutions in the MENA zone, in geographic terms (country) and academic terms (universities), by means of their links. Design/methodology/approach -Using search engines and webcrawlers designed to gather information about web links, in conjunction with visualization techniques and degree indicators based on social network analysis, the authors achieved their objective and found responses to a series of pertinent research questions. Findings -There is no direct relationship between the number of university websites and the number of inlinks. Linking between countries in the MENA zone obeys patterns of vicinity and geopolitics. Arab universities are interlinked following trends governed by territorial proximity. There is a strong endogamic tendency, with universities from a single country citing each other, particularly in the case of Saudi Arabia. The authors present the first ranking of web influence in the MENA zone based on network indicators, namely country and university, and their order is corroborated by comparison with other rankings of a webometric or scientometric nature. Research limitations/implications -Studies of this type cannot be undertaken again, at least not from the web link perspective, as Yahoo!, Google and Bing have since blocked the webcrawlers that attempt to carry out searches of inlinking or co-inlinking between/among sites. Hence, this work can be considered both a pioneer and the last of its kind. The authors do not know if or when it will be possible to again make queries about URLs in webs or, alternatively, in titles. Originality/value -This is the first visual report of the web structure underlying the countries and universities of the MENA zone. It is also the first time that a country and university ranking of this geopolitical zone has been carried out using network indicators based on web links.
