This research investigates how evaluation processes are endogenized in the practices of university research groups. A case study is proposed in a Colombian university, through semi-structured interviews and a documentary analysis, taking as the axis of analysis the process of measuring groups that is conducted at the national level. Based on the li...

We explore the strategies implemented by Research Groups' Leaders while coping with unstable contexts, characterized by incoherence and lack of coordination among different policy discourses and instruments, and scarce resources. We focus on a country where these conditions are present: Colombia. In doing so, we study two cases, one in nanotechnolo...
We aim to establish the relationship between the stakeholders who are part of the Open-Access Ecosystem (OAE). The study was developed from an ecosystem approach, analyzing the actors and their relationships. As a result, we proposed a simplified view of the main components of an OAE and the relationships between them, which could be useful for und...
Open Access (OA) as a movement has been steadily gaining strength for roughly the last two decades. As this happens, new actors, policies and tools have emerged to support this movement, composing what could be seen as an Open Access Ecosystem (OAE). However, the literature is still surprisingly scarce on the elements, structure and relationships a...
In addition to being considered as a food pantry by different entities, such as the FAO, the Colombian agriculture industry represents 6.7% of the country’s GDP and 7.4% of total exports. This shows a clear inclination towards agriculture and the urgent demand for technicizing the countryside. Even more when considering the increase of almost 70% i...

Durante el periodo 2015-2017, en Colombia se modificaron los criterios utilizados por el Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (Colciencias) para la indexación de revistas especializadas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación en Publindex. Estos cambios han conllevado tensiones entre los editores, las instituciones y Colcienc...
The success of science, technology, and innovation (STI) programs depend on the contributions of researchers, their networks and interactions with policymakers and implementers. Despite this recognition, the literature on STI policy retains a top-down focus. A bottom-up perspective is needed to appreciate how the research community responds to a gi...

This work explores the processes through which the relevance of developments in nanotechnologies is built. With this purpose, we study the case of a research group of a Colombian university, which develops a technology for water decontamination, based on nanocomposites. The analysis focuses on the group's vision of relevance, in which, the construc...
Este trabajo indaga sobre los procesos mediante los cuales se construye la pertinencia de los desarrollos en nanotecnologías. Con ese propósito, se estudia el caso de un grupo de investigación de una universidad colombiana, que desarrolla una tecnología para descontaminación de agua, basada en nanocompuestos. El análisis se concentra en los proceso...
This paper explores how university research groups (RG) deal with the gaps between the requirements of their practices and research strategies, and policies of science, technology and innovation (STI), implemented through various instruments. To this end, we study the case of a research group who develops a technology based on nanotechnology. We co...
This paper identifies and analyzes the existing frameworks for supporting the identification and classification of best practices at an organization level.
The major contribution of this paper is the proposition and application of three criteria for analyzing, comparing and classifying the four identified frameworks. The first criterion is based o...
Los estudios sobre mediadores de conocimiento han estado concentrados en una perspectiva funcional o en la naturaleza intrínseca de los agentes (sociales o materiales) (Burt, 2004; Davenport & Prusak, 2000; Hargadon & Sutton, 1997; Goul & Fernández, 1989). Este trabajo busca investigar los procesos de co-construcción de conocimiento entre universid...

Our interest is the operation of knowledge among knowledge-based enterprises. To study these enterprises, we group them in two categories: the academic laboratories and the technology-based enterprises located in technological parks. To analyze them we have utilized two methodologies, the first is a field study with direct observation, interviews a...
Some scholars have recognized the important role of publicly funded basic research (Salter, AJ and BR Martin (2001). Research Policy, 30(3), 509–532; Szulanski, G (2000). Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 82(1), 9–27) for the production of knowledge. Among the identified benefits is an increase in "the stock of useful knowledge"...

Purpose of this paper
The important role of publicly funded basic research has been widely recognized. The knowledge produced is made available to society, who could use it for innovation and in this way contribute to economic growth. Thus, it is important to support scientific activities. We propose that researchers could profit from approaches s...
Innovation and thus the production of knowledge becomes a factor of competitiveness. The research activities aim, in particular, the production of new knowledge. Researchers could profit from approches and methods such as quality mana gement. In this communication, we study the approaches used while implementing a quality management system within v...
The research activity aims at the production of new knowledge. It is then desirable to use mechanisms to support the knowledge production process. Quality management could be used for this purpose. We have noticed that this methodology has two principal motivations: To organize the activities and to manage data. The quality systems turn, then, arou...
