Avaliação de periódicos eletrônicos acadêmicos brasileiros: uma proposta de método baseado na análise de links para o site do periódico

Marcondes, Carlos Henrique; Mendonça, Marília Alvarenga Rocha

Resumos

Este artigo é resultado de projeto de pesquisa patrocinada pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, com a finalidade de desenvolver um método de avaliação para periódicos eletrônicos brasileiros em ciência e tecnologia, considerados emergentes pela pesquisa. O método se propõe a ser uma alternativa ao fator de impacto utilizado pelo Institute for Scientific Information; é baseado na análise quantitativa e qualitativa de links efetuados para o site de um periódico eletrônico, obtidos por meio da submissão de sua URL ao site de busca Google. Considerou-se não somente a quantidade de links direcionados ao site, mas também a existência de sites considerados autoridades na área do periódico pesquisado e links de instituições estrangeiras feitos para o site do periódico. O artigo propõe uma fórmula para calcular o grau de relevância do periódico analisado, atribuindo pesos a diferentes tipos de links. Os resultados obtidos foram validados por meio da opinião de especialistas de diferentes áreas do conhecimento.

This paper reports the results of a research project, sponsored by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - in order to develop an evaluation methodology for emerging Brazilian e-journals on Science and Technology. The proposed methodology intends to be an alternative for the impact factor used by the Institute for Scientific Information, and is based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the links to the e-journal website, obtained by submitting its URL to the Google search engine. The methodology considers not only the number of links directed to the website, but also the existence of qualitative links: websites which are considered an "authority"on specific knowledge areas, and those of non-Brazilian institutions. These different kinds of links were weighted and used to calculate a grade to an e-journal site, as an indicator of its relevance in a certain knowledge area. The results obtained were validated by specialists in different knowledge areas.
