Web presence is one of the areas of research in the field of
webometrics. Due to lack of precise information on the presence of the
Knowledge and Information Science (KIS) faculty members in Iran, this
study aims to address this problem. It studies the level and quality of the
presence of the LIS faculty and its relation to their professional
effectiveness, focusing on their academic and professional performance.
This study is an applied research, taking two approaches: descriptive
survey and webometrics. The study participants are the KIS faculty
members in Iran who hold a PhD degree, have senior lecturer (assistant
professor) position and positions above that, and have scientific
publications and web citations. A checklist was used to collect the webrelated
data on their presence, and a questionnaire was designed to
collect the data on their academic and professional activities. Three
databases were used to collect the web-related data, namely Google,
Google Scholar and the Iran Science Citation Index. The data was
analyzed using statistical analysis and tests of descriptive and
interpretive types. From the web presence perspective, the findings
revealed that besides experienced academics, younger academic
members have remarkable web presence. The findings showed that there
is a meaningful relationship between the level of presence of the studyparticipants and their publications. KIS academics of Ferdowsi University of
Mshhad and Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz have gained highest positions
according to publication web presence in Google. Also, scientific databases, self
citations and university websites have got the first to third ranks in order to
publication web presence themes. In addition, results showed us publishing Farsi
and English articles in credible refereed journals is the most important theme in
scientific and professional performance.
