Implementación de aplicaciones móviles para la gestión de la investigación a partir de información bibliométrica

Abstract

Objective. A methodology was proposed for implementing a mobile application (App) in the Javerian Pontific University (JPU), Colombia. Design/Methodology/Approach. A mix methodology was used to expose the theoretical, methodological, and technological elements, whose main reference was a previous proposal developed in the University of Granada, Spain. A survey to researchers from the JPU was also applied. Results and Discussion. Different ways of information visualization were displayed emphasizing the functioning and reading of the results, such as the importance for the management of research. The researcher indicators (cites and H index), such as their positioning in the university and faculty were relevant results derived from the application functioning. Conclusions. The App offered information and bibliometric indicators in real time, making also possible the user-technology interaction from an entertaining and simple technological environment. Its use favors the increasing of visibility of university academicians and their future collaborations; such as the improvement of project management, the search for experts, and the identification of information professionals. Originality/Value. This proposal might be considered as an incentive not only for researchers and the university, but also for information professionals with the consequent visibility and recognition from the management of research profiles for the projects
