An analysis evaluating electronic journals published by Spanish universities was performed, taking into account both formal aspects and cybermetric indicators. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact and visibility of these web-based publications. The number of publications, their formal and content-related characteristics, and their use of features and tools provided by the electronic medium were all considered. The results fall below expectations, due to formal problems in the structure and contents of the journals' websites, resulting in low visibility and, therefore, low impact.
