Webometric Analyst

Webometric Analyst is a free Windows-based program for altmetrics, citation analysis, social web analysis and webometrics, including link analysis. It downloads data from the web through APIs or direct downloading and includes a wide range of processing options. This website contains brief usage instructions for the most popular features but many more options are available in the menus.

For automatic Web searches in Webometric Analyst, please sign up for a Bing Cognitive Services v7 key first. Webometric Analyst uses URL citations or title mentions instead of hyperlink searches for network diagrams, link impact reports, and web environment networks.

LexiURL Searcher (before April, 2011)

The original LexiURL Searcher was similar to Webometric Analyst but used hyperlink data from the Yahoo! Search API, which Yahoo! discontinued in April 2011. Webometric Analyst 1.0 used IP-based access to Bing but the Bing API changed in 2012 and again in 2016 and 2017.
