Organization and availability of information in the public academic space of higher education websites

A key component for the quality of knowledge management at a higher education institution is understanding its mechanisms of the organization and dissemination of information. This research evaluates public websites of academic space in the domain interest of academic staff, concerning the possibilities of finding and availability of information, how the data was structured, and diffusion of information. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of criteria codification, abstraction, and diffusion was made. The template for the analysis of the website was made according to the analysis of previous research, with the necessary contextual adaptation. The obtained results enable an analysis of the information space, on a public website, revealing the quantity and quality of information relevant to the areas of interest in the academic sphere. Based on obtained data we identify factors for an effective flow of codified information on the higher education website. This paper is part of a broader research, which determines the mechanisms of information diffusion through an academic institution according to the Information Space model.
