In this paper, we present a methodology for findingauthoritative researchers by analyzing academic Web sites. We showa case study in which we concentrate on a set of Czech computerscience departments’ Web sites. We analyze the relations betweenthem via hyperlinks and find the most important ones using severalcommon ranking algorithms. We then examine the contents of theresearch papers present on these sites and determine the mostauthoritative Czech authors.
