Understanding the phenomena at the nanometer scale is of fundamental importance for future improvements of desired properties of nanomaterials. We report a detailed investigation of the microstructure and the resulting magnetic anisotropy by magnetic, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and M\"ossbauer measurements of the electrospun Cu$_{1-x}$Zn$_x$Fe$_2$O$_4$ nanofibers. Our results show that the electrospun Cu$_{1-x}$Zn$_x$Fe$_2$O$_4$ nanofibers exhibit nearly isotropic magnetic anisotropy. TEM measurements indicate that the nanofibers are composed of loosely connected and randomly aligned nanograins. As revealed by the Henkel plot, these nanofibers and the nanograins within the nanofibers are dipolar coupled, which reduces the effective shape anisotropy leading to a nearly random configuration of the magnetic moments inside the nanofibers, hence, the observed nearly isotropic magnetic anisotropy can be easily understood.
