Abstract: Automatic system for ranking of educational health care related 
Web resources based on quality criteria was developed. Automatic retrieval 
of new Web resources from well-known directories followed by their 
automatic evaluation is a keystone of the system. 
The system provides this information: a) location of the resource and its 
author, b) number of back links to the resource, c) checks presence of 
electronic labels of quality. Currently the system encompasses more than 
500 links to educational Web resources divided into 47 medical 
specialities. The resources in all categories are ranked according to their 
link popularity, the electronic labels of quality are presented. History of 
link popularity is recorded and might be displayed at every resource. There 
are 2 language editions. The system operates automatically, the editors 
check and correct the retrieved values. The described system adds to 
Website indexing criteria for objective evaluation of quality of Webpages. 
It is useful for the selection of optimum education resources in health 
care. 

Controlled Indexing: biomedical education; health care; medical information 
systems; Web sites 
Uncontrolled Indexing: educational health care related Web resources; Web 
citation analysis; quality criteria; automatic retrieval; back links; 
electronic labels of quality; Website indexing criteria 
Classification Code(s): C7140 Medical administration
