Final comments
Electronic publication (Web!) is already the most important scholarly communication tool
Web should play a key role in the evaluation of the academic activities, scientific research, technological development and the socio-cultural commitment of the academia
Quantitative Web indicators are suited for playing that role and promoting Open Access initiatives as Web Publish or Perish is the new motto
Webometrics research offers plenty of opportunities for developing theoretical and empirical analysis given the diversity of new tools and techniques currently available
