The link analysis method was used as one of the webometric methods. The present study population included 18 research websites of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran. In order to assessment the status of the studied websites in terms of ranking in the world and in Iran, as well as the links received from Alexa and Webometrics.info were used. Webometric Analyst software was used to plot linkages and diagrams of co linking networks of studied websites. The results showed that the status of the studied websites is not favorable in terms of ranking in Webometrics.info. At the same time, in terms of interconnection, these websites are very weak, and in fact, there is very little interconnection between them. These websites should have a cohesive and expert editorial board and try to make their website more visible by creating a link between them.}, }
