In this web site: updated URLs; instructions for link analysis and related techniques (mostly parts IV and V); links to resources and additional information; extended glossary. Hyperlinks can no longer be collected automatically from search engines - but they can be directly crawled with SocSciBot and URL citations and title mentions can be extracted from Webometric Analyst search engine queries. |
