ABSTRACT:
In this article, we define webometrics within the framework of informetric
studies and bibliometrics, as belonging to library and information science,
and as associated with cybermetrics as a generic subfield. We develop a
consistent and detailed link typology and terminology and make explicit the
distinction among different Web node levels when using the proposed
conceptual framework. As a consequence, we propose a novel diagram notation
to fully appreciate and investigate link structures between Web nodes in
webometric analyses. We warn against taking the analogy between citation
analyses and link analyses too far.
