网络信息计量学研究（Ⅴ）——链接分析在大学评价中的应用研究

Study on Webometrics (Part 5)--Study on the College Evaluation Based on College Website Hyperlink Analysis

本研究以链接分析为基础,对大学网站的利用情况和网络影响力在大学评价中的作用进行了探索,结果发现: ①院校排名与链接到网站的页面数不具有线性相关关系,但与Web-IF具有一定的线性相关关系,这表明网站规模对研究结果具有实质性影响; ②衡量网站链接特征的各项指标与院校排名没有线性相关关系; ③分析结果表明,网络目前在提高院校科研绩效和学术影响力,促进其发展方面所起作用还极为有限,有待大力开发以提高其功能和效益.

We discuss the relationships between college website evaluation and college evaluation. We find that there is linear relationship between Web - IF of a college website and its rank firstly. But we also find there is no linear relationship between the number of in-link of websites and the college rank.These phenomena show that the scale of website has essential influence on this kind of research. Secondly, the result indicates there is no linear relationship between the characters of website hyperlink and college rank. Thirdly, based on the above analyses, a conclusion could be drawn, that we have to do a lot of hard work in order to improve the performances of research by bringing the network into play.
