چکیده:
Research centers are among the most important institutes in a scientific society.
Using the AltaVista search engine and webometric methods, this research tries to
find the performance and impact of the top research centers of the Islamic World
Countries. The results reveal that from 57 countries, 40 of them did not have any
research centers scored in webometric ranking and the rest of them had not been
scored well in the webometric ranking model. In this study, we rank research
centers’ websites based on some webometric indicators such as number of pages,
linkages, WIF and Revised WIF. Findings show that the ranking of the websites
based on the WIF and revised WIF is almost different and there is a strong
correlation between the number of research centers in the Islamic countries that
were scored in webometrics and their ranks based on countries’ GDP.

He founded that Iranian university websites have low in-links, WIF and also because of linguistic reasons Iranian websites may not attract the attention they deserve from the World Wide Web. Hajzeinolabedini, Maktabifard and Osareh (2006) investigated National Library Websites (NLW) by using webometric methods.
