La influencia mediática de la investigación científica, entendida como aquella que llega a la sociedad a través de las menciones de artículos científicos en los medios de comunicación, se analiza en el área de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales (HCS), con dos objetivos principales: i) desarrollar un marco analítico definiendo las principales variables...

Personal identifiers have become essential for unambiguously identifying authors and their scholarly output. One of the top personal identifiers is ORCID because of its open, cross‐national, cross‐disciplinary nature. This study analyses ORCID adoption at two levels: (a) Spanish scientific articles in Web of Science (WoS), to explore ORCID presence...

As open publication has become a goal in scholarly communication, interest in how it relates to other features of the research process has grown. This paper focuses on the relationship between funding and open access (OA) in the Spanish National Research Council’s Web of Science publications in three scientific fields with different research practi...

Scientific activity in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) presents special characteristics that require the use of various sources and methodologies to adequately assess its impact and influence on both academic and non-academic audiences. This study aims to explore the validity of traditional and alternative information sources for the analy...

The strategic importance of healthcare research institutes (HRIs) in health sciences research in Spain has motivated this analysis of the feasibility of studing their contribution to the Spanish scientific output through their presence as a signatory institution in the publications.

Objectives: The strategic importance of healthcare research institutes (HRIs) in health sciences research in Spain has motivated this analysis of the feasibility of studing their contribution to the Spanish scientific output through their presence as a signatory institution in the publications. Material and methods: We identified the output of t...

Institutional sectors —groups of centers with similar characteristics and types of R&D— constitute an interesting unit of analysis that can also serve as a useful framework for benchmarking purposes in R&D studies. The analysis of Spanish scientific output included in the Web of Science database (2000–2011) shows the predominance of Universities (6...

Se describen las características de la revistas científicas, así como las principales herramientas internacionales de evaluación de las mismas: Journal Citation Report (JCR), Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) y Google Scholar Citation. Este documento presenta el material didáctico utilizado en el curso "Revistas Científicas: Cómo y dónde publicar" organi...

Research networks play a crucial role in the production of new knowledge since collaboration contributes to determine the cognitive and social structure of scientific fields and has a positive influence on research. This paper analyses the structure of co-authorship networks in three different fields (Nanoscience, Pharmacology and Statistics) in Sp...

A positive influence of international collaboration on the impact of research has been extensively described. This paper delves further into this issue and studies to what extent the type of collaborating country—high, medium or low R&D intensive country—and which country is the leader in the research may influence the impact of the final scientifi...

Se definen y describen los diferentes tipos de fuentes de información científica existentes en Internet: plataformas de revistas comerciales, bases de datos bibliográficas, repositorios de acceso abierto y motores de búsqueda académicos. Este documento presenta el material didáctico utilizado en el curso "Acceso a la Información Científica" organiz...

Science has become progressively more complex, requiring greater integration and collaboration between individuals, institutions and areas. Networking research establishes common rules and offers a suitable framework for this cooperation. Therefore, it is a good choice for both scientists and policy-makers. The objective of this study is to know wh...

Se presentan las agencias evaluadoras españolas de ámbito nacional (ANEP, CNEAI y ANECA) y los principales indicadores bibliométricos utilizados en evaluación de la ciencia. Igualmente se describen el Journal Citation Report (JCR) integrante del Web of Science y el Scimago Journal and Country Rank (SJR) elaborado a partir de la base de datos Scopus...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the HJ-Biplot in bibliometric studies. It is a simple and intuitive display, similar to a scatterplot, but capturing the multivariate covariance structures between bibliometric indicators. Their interpretation does not require specialized statistical knowledge, but merely to know how to inte...

A new semi-automatic method is presented to standardize or codify addresses, in order to produce bibliometric indicators from bibliographic databases. The hypothesis is that this new method is very trustworthy to normalize authors’ addresses, easy and quick to obtain. As a way to test the method, a set of already hand-coded data is chosen to verify...

Resumen: Este artículo ofrece una visión general de la actividad investigadora del CSIC en el contexto de España a través del estudio de su producción científi ca en la base de datos Web of Science, complementada con ICYT e ISOC, durante el período 2004-2009. Las ocho áreas científi co-técnicas en las que se organizan los centros del CSIC difi eren...

An overview is provided of CSIC’s research performance in the context of Spain, through a study of its scholarly production in the Web of Science database, complemented with ICYT and ISOC, during the period 2004-2009. The eight scientifi c and technical areas in which CSIC’s centers are organised differ as to their national or international researc...

In 2008, the type of document “proceedings paper” (PP) was assigned in the WoS database to journal articles which were initially presented at a conference and later adapted for publication in a journal. Since the use of two different labels (“article” and “proceedings paper”) might lead to infer differences in their relevance and/or quality, this p...

Neutron scattering (NS) is a "big science" discipline whose research spans over a wide spectrum of fields, from fundamental or basic science to technological applications. The objective of this paper is to track the evolution of Spanish research in NS from a bibliometric perspective and to place it in the international context. Scientific publicati...

Las patentes se utilizan en la evaluación de la investigación tecnológica, como un acercamiento al análisis de la innovación. De esta forma, las bases de datos que las contienen se constituyen en una herramienta eficaz para la obtención de información que permita el estudio de la I+D+i. Existe un gran número de ellas y presentan diferencias signifi...

Section 20 of law 11/86 is about the regulation of academic patents where rights and obligations of inventors and universities are established in relation to the patentable inventions that arise in the Spanish Institutions of Higher Education. Nevertheless, each university can elaborate a regulation in which not only Patent Law Resolutions are adap...

Cada día se reconoce más la importancia de las patentes comofuente de información y base para la elaboración de indicadores de la produccióntecnológica. La universidad es uno de los principales centrosgeneradores de investigación en cualquier sistema de I+D. El análisis delas patentes académicas permite conocer uno de los aspectos menos tratadosde...

The importance of patents as source of information and base for theelaboration of indicators of the technological production is increasinglyrecognized. The university is one of the main generating centres of researchin any R&D system. Thus, the analysis of the academic patents sheds lighton one of the aspects less studied of university research. Th...

Patents are essential documents in the evaluation of technological research. The patent databases on the Internet are a main source of information for this kind of analysis. However there are many databases and they are very different; therefore it is crucial to know them in order to elect their best features for a bibliometric analysis. This surve...
