Producción científica y visibilidad de los investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid en las bases de datos del ISI, 1997-2003
Los objetivos planteados en esta tesis son conocer los hábitos de publicación de los investigadores adscritos a un conjunto de áreas/departamentos de la UC3M, durante el período 1997-2003, en las bases de datos del Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), identificando la calidad de las publicaciones recogidas (documentos propios y citas recibidas), medida ésta en términos de impacto y visibilidad, y relacionando esta calidad con los hábitos de publicación obtenidos.
La metodología utilizada en el trabajo ha requerido la aplicación conjunta de técnicas estadísticas (univariantes, bivariantes y multivariantes), y del análisis de redes sociales, para la construcción de indicadores bibliométricos unidimensionales y multidimensionales, tanto de la producción científica identificada como de las citas recibidas por la misma.
Entre las conclusiones del estudio destaca que tanto la producción como las citas recibidas en todas las áreas/departamentos analizados tienen una tendencia ascendente, que los trabajos se realizan habitualmente en colaboración, así como que las temáticas con mayor producción son Física y Matemáticas, que gran parte de la investigación se publica en revistas situadas en el primer cuartil del Journal Citation Reports (JCR), y que esta actividad investigadora recibe normalmente citas de revistas con igual o mejor posición en el JCR en función de su Factor de Impacto
Bibliometrics and university libraries: Adding to the professional profile?
The creation of bibliometric services within university libraries opens up new professional possibilities for libraries, when they are in the midst of rethinking many of their functions. Services to the researcher, such as supporting the management of their curricula vitae through CRIS (current research information system), finding quality measures of journals, or providing advice during the evaluation processes, along with elaborating bibliometric reports in order to support the governance of the University, are postulated as new tasks that can be carried out by the library staff. For these new tasks to be effective, librarians must have some transversal and specific competences. Moreover, they need some of the skills associated with communication competences, because of the importance of communicating properly the work that has been done by the Unit, within the library and for the users and institution
El Servicio de Bibliotecas de la Universidad de Navarra
En 1952, de forma paralela a la creación de la Universidad de Navarra, hallamos el germen del Servicio de Bibliotecas. En este artículo se hace una descripción de la historia del servicio y de sus principales funciones en la actualidad, haciendo una mención especial a la labor de su primer bibliotecario general, Álvaro d’Ors, quien diseñó y puso en marcha un modelo de biblioteca que sigue vigente. El apoyo a la docencia y a la investigación marcan el quehacer diario del personal del Servicio de Bibliotecas, cuyas funciones van evolucionando según lo hacen las necesidades del entorno académico.1952an, Nafarroako Unibertsitatea sortzearekin batera, Liburutegiko Zerbitzuen lehe- nengo hazia jarri zen, 1960an zerbitzuari hasiera ofiziala eman zitzaiolarik. Artikulu honetan zerbitzuaren historia eta gaur egungo funtzioak laburtu ditugu, eta bertan, Álvaro d’Ors-en lana azpimarratu nahi izan dugu batez ere. D’Ors lehenengo Liburu- zain Orokorra izan zen eta gaur egun dugun liburutegia diseinatu eta martxan jarri zuen. Liburutegi zerbitzuaren lan nagusia irakaskuntza eta ikerketa arloan gure lagun- tza eskaintzea da, eta horrekin batera, ingurune akademikoan ager daitezkeen beharrei erantzuna ematea.The origin of the Library Service of the University of Navarra is in 1952, coinciding with the start of the University. This article describes the history of the service and its main functions at present – and, in particular, the work of the first General Librarian, Álvaro d’Ors, who designed and launched a library model that is still in operation today. Teaching and research support are hallmarks of the day-to-day activities of Library Services staff, whose roles have evolved in response to changes in the academic environment
Citation journal impact factor as a measure of research quality
The aim of this paper is to determine if the scientific papers published in high impact journals are not only of sufficient "a priori" quality to be accepted by such journals, but acquire further impact because they are cited by journals with at least a similar impact. A normalized impact factor (NIF) is proposed as a measure to compare the visibility of research conducted by different university departments working in different disciplines. This analysis is supplemented by a study of the distribution by quartiles of the journals involved. In addition, the quality of the journals citing the papers in the sample selected for the study is evaluated to determine research prestige. The feasibility of using citation journal impact in the evaluation as an incentive for research quality is
posed in this work. This paper will be of interest to those institutions interested in quality research evaluation as well as those involved in science policy
Apoyando la investigación: nuevos roles en el servicio de bibliotecas de la Universidad de Navarra
In the last few years, the Library of the University of Navarra has taken on new librarian roles, mainly related to research support. Along with tasks such as on-demand training sessions and the promotion of open access to the Library’s repository, we have started several new lines of research support. These primarily focus on advising professors about accreditation processes and six-year research evaluations, and providing data review and item validation support for the institutional research management system. We analyze these new roles and tasks that have been undertaken, together with their impact on traditional tasks, their benefits, and new perspectives for the future
Investigating SSH Research and Publication Practices in Disciplinary and Institutional Contexts. A Survey-Based Comparative Approach in Two Universities
In this paper, we comparatively analyze, present and discuss the results from a survey on increasing the visibility of research achievements in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) that was carried out at the University of Vienna (Austria) and the University of Navarra (Spain) in 2016 and 2017. Covering four major topics—searching and finding literature, publishing, the visibility of research, and the assessment of research outputs—we ask the following questions: are there disciplinary differences to be identified, and how do they present themselves in the two institutional contexts? Discussing the results, we showcase how disciplinary and institutional traditions and contexts are important factors that influence research and publication practices in the SSH. Our results indicate that the practices of searching and finding literature as well as publication practices and behavior are shaped by disciplinary traditions and epistemic cultures. On the contrary, assessment and valuation of research outputs are influenced by institutional and national contexts in which SSH research is organized and carried out
Apoyando la investigación: Nuevos roles en el servicio de bibliotecas de la Universidad de Navarra
La Biblioteca de la Universidad de Navarra ha ido asumiendo en los últimos años nuevos roles de apoyo a la investigación.
Junto con tareas como formación a la carta o el fomento del acceso abierto a través del repositorio, se han iniciado asesoramientos a profesores en procesos de acreditación y solicitud de sexenios, así como colaboración con el sistema de gestión de datos de investigación en tareas de revisión y validación de la producción científica. Se detallan las nuevas funciones y tareas asumidas, su incidencia frente a las funciones tradicionales, las ventajas que han comportado y las líneas de futuro.In the last few years, the Library of the University of Navarra has taken on new librarian roles, mainly related to research
