Introduction Manoj Kumar Verma* Krishna Brahma‡ Department of Library and Information Science Mizoram University Aizawl Mizoram India * [email protected] ‡ [email protected] © The growing demand for technical education, fundamental changes in higher technical education in India and enhancing the value system needs the creative coordination among technical institutions at national and international level on the basis of a constant exchange of information and achievements among them. The easiest and effective way to make operational exchange of information is publication on their websites. “The World Wide Web (WWW) has now become one of the main sources of information on academic and research Downloaded by [Linköping University Library] at 21:35 26 October 2017 M. K. Verma and K. Brahma activities, and therefore, it is an excellent platform to test new methods of evaluating webometric activities” (Babu, Jeyshankar and Rao, 2010 [3]). Web resources are apple of information professional’s eyes due to their value added services to meet their current and diversified information needs. The web pages of WWW are the entities of information with hyperlinks from within and outside of them acting as citation. Quantitative analysis on WWW is being carried out in the same way as in the citation analysis. As information on web increases towards entropy, it is needed to apply some theory metrics (measurement) to develop new method, modeling techniques and metaphors to examine this emerging complex network. On the basis of the study and conception, webometrics is defined as “the study based on quantitative measurement-indirectly includes the quantitative aspect also of structure, use of information resources and technologies on WWW drawing on bibliometric and informetric approach” (Goswami, 2007 [13]). There are 8 states in northeast region of India and each state has one National Institute of Technology (NIT). The National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are the federallyfunded public engineering institutes in India. They are declared as Institutes of National Importance by an Act of Parliament of India. In the internet age, the websites of institutes are very important for dissemination of information and are now used as communication tool about the institution, their related departments, resources and services, students, faculty members, alumni etc. It is very important to keep the website updated from time to time to give latest facts to the users and visibility on the web. Hence a study to assess their web-based activities and then as basis for ranking their websites is undertaken. 2. Webometrics and Web Impact Factor Webometric is the study of quantitative aspects of the construction and use of the information resources, structures and technologies on the web drawing on bibliometric and informetric approaches. It covers research of all network based communication using informetric or other quantitative measures. Bjorneborn and Ingwersen [5] focused on the following four areas of webomerics study: ∑ Web page content analysis; ∑ Web link structure analysis (e.g. hyperlink, self link and external link); ∑Web usage analysis (e.g. exploiting log files for users searching and browsing behavior); and ∑ Web technology analysis (including search engine performance). A Web Impact Factor is a part of the methodology in webometrics studies. The Web Impact Factor (WIF) was developed by Ingwersen [8] to measure the impact of websites by the number of links it receives. It provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing websites and top-level domains and sub-domains. A website with a higher impact factor may be considered to be more prestigious or of higher quality 2 COLLNET JOURNAL OF SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Ranking of National Institutes of Technology (NITs) of northeast region of India... Table 1 Downloaded by [Linköping University Library] at 21:35 26 October 2017 List of NITs of Northeast region with their websites (Source: http://mhrd.gov.in/technical-education-5) than those websites with a lower impact factor. Three types of links and Web Impact Factor (WIF) are formulated in the following way: ∑ The Simple WIF: The ratio of all links to the number of pages. ∑ The Internal WIF: The ratio of internal links within the site to number of pages. ∑The External WIF: The ratio of links made from external sites to the target site, to the number of pages at the site. 3. Significance and scope of study Webometric is a very important segment in the field of library and information science through which analysis of websites has been conducted by information professionals. In present digital era web has become a key source of information and plays an important role in its dissemination. Now people have become more web-centric to find their information because they want their information on their fingertips so that they can access it in 24X7 modes. Therefore all the institutes have designed and developed their websites to provide information through web. This initiates the research in the area of web analysis which conceptually developed from bibliometrics. The present study is also an attempt to analyze the websites of NITs of northeast India to show the current status of their website and rank them according to their WIF. The scope of present study is limited to NITs websites situated in northeast India. The list of 8 NITs of Northeast India along with their websites is listed in Table 1. 4. Review of literature Aminpour, et al., [1] conducted a webometric study of Iranian universities of medical sciences and the study resolved that the website of Tehran university of medical sciences with 49,300 webpages and 9860 Inlinks was ranked first for the size and number of Inlinks, while its impact factor was ranked 38th whereas, Rafsanjan University of Medcial Sciences COLLNET JOURNAL OF SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 3 Downloaded by [Linköping University Library] at 21:35 26 October 2017 M. K. Verma and K. Brahma with 15 webpages and 211 links had the highest rank for the web impact factor among Iranian universities of medical sciences. Arif and Ismail [2] conducted a study on Web Impact Factor for Malaysian Public Universities. They have used Majestic SEO and Google search engine to find the WIF and resolved that University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) have the highest Average WIF with 13.013 followed by University Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) with 2.670 WIF and University Pertahanan National Malaysia (UPNM) with 1.289 WIF. Islam [6] made a webometrics study of universities in Bangladesh. The researcher has used AltaVista search engine to rank the websites based on webometric indicators and the result found was that some universities in Bangladesh have higher number of webpages but the link pages are fewer. Jalal, et al., [8] have investigated the Web Impact Factor and link analysis of selected Indian Universities and it has found that all the NITs are closely related in the topology framework whereas nodes are not linked significantly for the case of state universities and central universities. NIT Durgapur, NIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, NIT Surathkal and NIT Trichi are producing maximum links. There is no significant web-based associations amongst central universities in India but Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Aligarh Muslim University are having maximum inlinks and connected with each other. SosSciBot 3.0 has been used to extract the link data for the purpose of constructing link topology formed for NITs in India. Jati [10] made a webometric approach for Indonesian universities to find the Web Impact Factor by uses yahoo search engine and revealed that the Universitas Sriwijaya had the highest number of webpages ranked in with respect to number of webpages whereas, Universitas Bina Nusantara had the highest impact on web with far more the number of inlinks as compared to the number of webpages on its website and Universitas Muhammadiyah Malaang was ranked on the top for presence of rich files from the contribution of .doc and .pdf file type. Jeyshankar, et al., [11] conducted a study on the analysis of Web pages of ICMR Institutes websites, in which the link structures has been analyzed, the study concentrates on the classification websites by webpage size, wave web aim accessibility error, various search engine performances, the difference between pages in various time intervals and number of rich files has been calculated and also presents the link-network diagram of ICMR institutes. Maharana, et al., [14] conducted a webometric study on Web Impact Factor and link analysis of 16 Indian Institute of Technologies, in which they have analyzed the number of webpages and link pages and calculates the simple web impact factor, self link web impact factor and external web impact factor of IITs. Noruzi [15] conducted a critical review study on Web Impact Factor and associated indicators and the paper reviews how the WIF has been developed and applied. Ratha, et al., [16] made a webometric study of 15 IIT libraries websites in India. They have analyzed the design and structure of the library websites of IITs and found significant differences such as the user supporting services, number of hyperlinks on home pages and whole websites etc. Smith and Thelwall [17] made a study on Web Impact Factors for Australasian universities and the results of an exploratory study of knowledge exchange between disciplines and subfields of science, based on bibliometric methods. Verma and Brahma [20] conducted a study on webometric analysis of selected non-profit organizations (NGOs) of Assam and has found that Centre for North East 4 COLLNET JOURNAL OF SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Ranking of National Institutes of Technology (NITs) of northeast region of India... Studies and Policy Research, Guwahati and AARANYAK is at the top rank among the selected NGOs websites in Assam. Walia and Gupta [24] conducted a study on Web Impact Factor of Select National Libraries’ Websites and their study revealed that among the selected national libraries, websites of national libraries ‘of America, Australia and Britain were more visible and hosted the more content compare to the websites of India, Namibia and South Africa.

To identify and analyze the websites of NITs of Northeast region of India. 2. To calculate the number of webpages of NITs websites 3. To examine the number of link-equity of NITs websites 4. To find out the number of internal and external link pages of NITs websites. 5.To calculate the web impact factor of NITs websites and rank the NITs websites on the basis of WIF. 6. Methodology The observation method was used as research methodology and data were collected from the websites of NITs of Northeast region of India by using the tool called open site explorer (www.opensiteexplorer.org). It is a search engine optimization tool for links which is developed by Moz.com that helps to track the links leading to the website. The open site explorer is one of the essential tools that gives wealth of data by gathering, sorting and exporting link data easier than ever. It is built with speed and accessibility at the forefront and provides tremendous amount of information about the links to any page or site. 7. Method of calculating Web Impact Factor The result of web impact factor visualized various impact factor such as Simple web impact factor, Internal web impact factor and External web impact factor. Distribution of Data by SWIF has been calculated by the following formula: SWIF = Total No. of Links Total No. of Webpages Distribution of Data by IWIF has been calculated by the following formula: IWIF = Total No. of Internal Links Total No. of Webpages COLLNET JOURNAL OF SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 5 M. K. Verma and K.

Data analysis There are 8 NITs in the Northeast region of India. Data is analyzed based on the objectives of study using MS Word to present the tables and MS Excel for bar graphs. Table 2 and Figure 1 reveals the Domain and Page Authority of NITs of Northeast India. Domain Authority is a measure of the power of a domain name. It is a quality score developed by Moz (tool for measuring, monitoring and evaluating the onsite and off-site aspects of a website’s level of search engine optimization) that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. Page Authority is a quality score developed by Moz that predicts how Fig. 1 Domain and Page Authority 6 COLLNET JOURNAL OF SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Ranking of National Institutes of Technology (NITs) of northeast region of India...

A high page authority score means your page has the potential to rank well in search engine results. The result visualized that the Domain Authority of NIT Silchar with 43 (18.85%) ranks at top, followed by NIT Agartala and NIT Sikkim with 32 (14.03%) which occupies the second place and the third place goes to NIT Mizoram with 30 (13.15%). The Page Authority of NIT Silchar with 52 (16.82%) occupies the first place, followed by NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram and NIT Sikkim with 41 (13.26%) which occupies the second place and the third place goes to NIT Manipur with39 (12.62%). Table 3 has listed the Just-Discovered Links and Established Links of NITs of Northeast India. Just-Discovered links report helps any one to identify recently created URLs and links i.e., the newest links which are indexed within few hours to a day of being published. The Established links are the number of links created with domain authority, page authority and just discovered links. Root Domains are the number of unique domains linking to your domain or page. Total Links is the total amount of links to a site. This would be all types of links. The result shows that NIT Silchar and NIT Mizoram has got 2 numbers of Just-Discovered Links and the rest of the NITs has got zero links. The NIT Silchar with 97 RDs (3940 TLs) has the highest number of Established Links, followed by NIT Sikkim with 30 RDs (1246 TLs) occupies the second place and NIT Mizoram with 27 RDs (1064 TLs) in the third place.
