Their increasingly presence on the web gave the Spanish CSIC the starting point to investigate how the academic, the research activity and scientific publication lead by the medical group is reflected in this medium. Using cybermétric quantitative techniques has been developed an initial ranking of hospitals, worldwide coverage on the web (http://hospitals.webometrics.info). The study, conducted on a population of more than 17,000 hospitals, shows the first thousand centres positioned depending on the WR. It highlights the American leadership followed by the European, and the unfavourable location of Spanish centres respect them. On the other hand, it is remarkable the insufficient broadcasted character of scientific publishing on the Internet, although the Universitary hospitals are the most active on this matter and therefore placed first. The ranking has been built through the collation of the websites of health centres throughout the major search engines (Google, Yahoo! Search, Live Search and Exalead). This comparison has been based of two key indexes: the visibility of web sites and the volume of published information. This paper shows the pattern followed for the development and publication.
