Webometric Assessment of Foreign Information Systems of Current Research

Abstract—

This article presents the results of a webometric analysis of 88 information systems of current research at foreign universities. The main goal of this study was to analyze the visibility of scientific data that are collected on these platforms and study their relevance to the user audience. The values of four basic metrics are considered: size (Size), value (Rich files), academic content (Scholar), and visibility (Visibility), and an analysis of traffic to the information systems is performed. The results revealed that the content of more than half of the information systems of current research has good visibility on the network. Academic indicators (Scholar) indicate a high citation of publications included in the information systems of current research.
