| Abstract: | The purpose of this article is to study collaboration among Iranian News Agencies Websites using Webometrics methods. In this research, in-links and co-links to Iranian news agencies websites were analyzed to determinate the visibility and collaboration among these web sites. Using Yahoo directory 21 Iranian news agencies websites were studied extract in-links & Co-links of these websites. Clustering and multi dimensional scaling methods were applied to analyze data.Using theses methods the number of websites decreased to 17. The results showed that Iranian News Agencies Websites are grouped in five clusters and exchange information and news with each other. The data revealed that those news agencies that are more identical in terms of their subject areas collaborate more, using their websites as information resources. This research also revealed that only ANA News Agency website (Islamic Azad University News Agency) had not been clustered to other Iranian news agencies websites. This research indicated collaboration among Iranian news agencies websites is increasing. This can contribute to accuracy and comprehensiveness of the news broadcast. |
