Bibliometrics in practice: how to generate reports for institutions

In an institutional context and at a professional level, one of our main tasks is to carry out bibliometric reports; actually these studies are essential because they are used by managers to make decisions (distribution of funds, recruitment of personnel, planning of research lines, …). In this talk we will explain how to make a global bibliometric report of an institution, we use as a case study the University of Granada. We focus in these topics. 1) General considerations: target, selection of indicators, objetives, …) 2) what sources of information can be used. 3) How to contextualize and interpret the indicators. 4) How to compare the results with other institutions (Benchmarking). 5) How to make graphs and tables. 6) dissemination of results and dataEuropean Summer School for Scientometrics - ess

Model-driven Enterprise Systems Configuration

Enterprise Systems potentially lead to significant efficiency gains but require a well-conducted configuration process. A promising idea to manage and simplify the configuration process is based on the premise of using reference models for this task. Our paper continues along this idea and delivers a two-fold contribution: first, we present a generic process for the task of model-driven Enterprise Systems configuration including the steps of (a) Specification of configurable reference models, (b) Configuration of configurable reference models, (c) Transformation of configured reference models to regular build time models, (d) Deployment of the generated build time models, (e) Controlling of implementation models to provide input to the configuration, and (f) Consolidation of implementation models to provide input to reference model specification. We discuss inputs and outputs as well as the involvement of different roles and validation mechanisms. Second, we present an instantiation case of this generic process for Enterprise Systems configuration based on Configurable EPCs

Societal Impact

Recently there is an increasing pressure on the development of indicators and methodologies that can offer evidences of the societal impact of researchers’ activity. This presentation will offer a comprehensive overview on the definition of societal impact, types of impact, and the attribution problem when searching for potential indicators. A special attention will be given to altmetric indicators and their potential role in tracing social engagement and its relation with societal impact. Examples of potential uses and current lines of work will be presented.European Summer School for Scientometric

Journal impact measures: the Impact Factor

The seminar on impact measures will first shed light on the best known and most controversial indicator, namely Garfield’s Journal Impact Factor. Its strengths and weaknesses as well as its correct use will be discussed thoroughly. Moreover the corresponding analytical tool, Clarivate Analytics’s Journal Citation Reports will be demonstrated.

COMPLIANCE IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON PROFITABILITY, RISK, SIZE, GROWTH AND VALUE, AND PERFORMANCE VARIABLES

The current rules in the legislation, mandatory for the largest companies in the capital market in Chile, require compliance of at least 19 best practices on corporate governance. The study determines a number of financial variables covering mainly the risk, profitability, valuation, size, growth and projections for those companies belonging to the selective shares of the Santiago stock exchange price index. It aims to measure the variables previously mentioned for analysis, and to determine the differences between companies that meet to a higher extent the standards of best practices of corporate governance and the ones that comply partially. The companies that largely comply with current legislation show better returns compared to those that comply to a lesser extent the standards and the benchmark index. Under this same distinction, those companies that show better compliance carry a total and systematic risk, risk-adjusted, with better performance, size and valuations, as well as factors of growth and projection of the share prices
