Jeyshankar and Babu [21] conducted a webometric study for 47 university websites of Tamil Nadu and concluded that inlinks are very few in number for some universities but have more number of Web pages which resulted in very low WIF. ...
The purpose of the study is to analyze the library websites of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) through webometric indicators including URL analysis, Web Impact Factor (WIF) calculation, link pattern analysis as well as file formats analysis. The survey was conducted for all IITs library websites for three rounds having the gap of fifteen days in each round. Search engine " Google " has been found suitable for the survey due to its capability to support webometrics search expressions. Very low WIF has been found for all the IITs library websites. Linking pattern amongst IITs library websites is also found very poor. The study is oriented mainly to webometric analysis of library websites. The problems and solutions have been suggested for the increase of web presence of IITs library websites.
... The study also established that Indian academic websites attracted more citations from commercial Web domains. In another study, Shukla and Tripathi (2009) examined the extent of backlinks given by different domains to Institutes of National Importance. ...
The study examines the number of backlinks to the websites of libraries belonging to Central Universities of India. The study has presented seven categories of library webpages based on their features. The study was conducted in five rounds to get the primary data through four selected search engines. Analysis is presented for each search engine separately. Study concludes that index page/home page of library websites attracts more number of backlinks than any other webpages of library websites.

Web links explore much useful information through densely linked web pages for a specific group of people or people with special research interest. The paper analyses the web link structure for a group of 23 IITs to discover new sources of information. It also discusses the problems of search engines and its limitations in web link analysis. Web link structures of Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) are analysed using SocSciBot4.0 and Pajek4. The paper tries to find out the pattern of hyperlinks among the premier IITs and new IITs separately. The study also covers the historical aspects and approaches of link analysis. Backlinks of IITs are analysed and micro-link topologies are constructed using Pajek. The result shows that more than 90 per cent of backlinks are in English language.
This part of the study highlights the contents of the published articles in terms of various disciplines or sub-disciplines and the bibliometric aspects discussed in these articles. The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during 1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals. Papers dealing with bibliometric laws received a low priority as compared to other sub-disciplines of bibliometrics/scientometrics. The analysis of data indicates that the share of theoretical studies using mathematical and statistical techniques which were missing in the earlier period (1970-1994) has increased during 1995-2014. The field of medicine as a discipline received the highest attention as compared to other disciplines. © 2018, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR).
