Abstract

The study aims to explore the webometric aspects of the top- thirty medical university websites of India.  An attempt has been made to rank these university websites according to various webometrics  indicators. Findings indicated that Aligarh Muslim University with WISER index value 14.919 ranked  as first and JSS Medical College had the lowest rank. The website of SRM Institute of Science and  Technology can be considered as having the fastest load time on google search with a score of 84 for the  desktop version and 71 for the mobile version.Moreover, this study concentrates on the correlation  between the WISER and WIF (inlinks) ranking approaches; and it is found that both have a negative  correlation. It also presents the link- network diagram of the websites using Pajek software.
