English abstract

Twitter is one of the most popular social networks and the one with the highest increase in its number of users in the last years. Measuring the influence that the information transmitted through the tweets have had in its environment is key to define the importance of the profile that generates them and the audience they can reach. We propose a new index, Influ@RT, which considers several categories of data to deter- mine the scope and influence that their profiles have in the particular field to whom they belong. Their cal- culation was applied to a field formed by the profiles that the Spanish university libraries have in this net- work. Several APIs were used for data collection that are described. The obtained results point to a better definition of the level of influence by the proposed index.

Spanish abstract

Twitter es una de las redes sociales más conocidas y que han tenido un mayor incremento en su número de usuarios en los últimos años. Poder medir la in- fluen-cia que la información transmitida por medio de los tweets tiene en su entorno permite definir la im- por-tancia del perfil que la genera y su audiencia potencial. Proponemos un nuevo índice, Influ@RT, que considera varias categorías de datos y que per- mite determinar la influencia y el alcance que tienen en un determinado ámbito los perfiles que a él perte- necen. Su cálculo se aplicó sobre el ámbito que for- man los perfiles que poseen las bibliotecas univer- sitarias españolas en esta red. Se describen las APIs empleadas para la recogida de datos. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan a que el índice propuesto consi- gue una mejor definición del nivel de influencia.
