U.S. academic libraries: understanding their web presence and their relationship with economic indicators [PDF]
The main goal of this research is to analyze the web structure and performance of units and services belonging to U.S. academic libraries in order to check their suitability for webometric studies. Our objectives include studying their possible correlation with economic data and assessing their use for complementary evaluation purposes.

Social Networks as a Collective Intelligence: An Examination of the Python Ecosystem [PDF]
The Python ecosystem represents a global, data rich, technology-enabled network. By analyzing Python's dependency network, its top 14 most imported libraries and cPython (or core Python) libraries, this research finds clear evidence the Python network can be considered a problem solving network.
