Análisis comparativo de las métricas españolas de ciencia y transferencia por comunidades autónomas
No full textLa producción científica española y la transferencia de tecnología que conlleva, están en continuo crecimiento, y por consiguiente la de las Comunidades Autónomas también. Sin embargo, esto no significa que todas las CCAA evolucionen igual, ni que todas implementen las mismas políticas. En el presente trabajo presentamos una comparación de la inversión en I+D+i, la producción científica y su transferencia al tejido productivo de las diecisiete CCAA españolas en el periodo 2003-2020. Los datos utilizados para la realización del presente trabajo, han sido extraídos de tres de las plataformas creadas por el grupo SCImago: SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJ&CR), SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) y SCImago Patents Rank (SPR) (en desarrollo) basadas en la información incluida en la base de datos Scopus de Elsevier y PATSTAT. En total, se han recuperado 1.276.914 documentos primarios publicados en el periodo 2003-2020, firmados por autores afiliados a instituciones españolas que han sido desagregados a nivel de Comunidades Autónomas. Con los mismos se ha generado una batería de indicadores de la producción científica (12), su impacto tecnológico (5) y la transferencia de tecnología (5), además de sus tasas de variación.Spanish scientific production and technology transfer that it entails are constantly growing, and consequently that of the Autonomous Communities as well. However, this does not mean that all the Autonomous Com- munities evolve in the same way, nor that they all implement the same policies. In this paper we present a comparison of investment in R&D&i, scientific produc- tion, and its transfer to the productive fabric of the seventeen Spanish Autonomous Communities in the period 2003-2020. The data used to carry out this work has been extracted from three of the platforms created by the SCImago group: SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJ&CR), SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) and SCImago Patents Rank (SPR) (under development) based on information included in Elsevier's Scopus database and PATSTAT. In total, 1,276,914 primary documents published in the 2003-2020 period have been recovered, signed by authors affiliated to Spanish institutions that have been disaggregated at the level of Autonomous Communities. With them, a battery of indicators of scientific production (12), its technological impact (5) and technology transfer (5) has been generated, in addition to its variation rates.peerReviewe
Biomedical scientific publication patterns in the Scopus database : a case study of Andalusia, Spain
No full textThis paper characterises scientific output in biomedicine in Andalusia, and Spain as a whole, and conduct a first-time comparison to Europe- and world-wide production. The data were extracted from the Scopus database. Three families of indicators are explored to analyse research quantity, quality and collaboration. The results show an upward trend on biomedical output in Andalusia. Over 50 % was in clinical medicine, whose growth doubled the basic medicine. We found greater than nationwide specialisation in biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, immunology and microbiology, and pharmacology, while psychology proved to be the most prominent emerging area. The publication in most cited journals together with national and international collaboration enhanced research visibility. More citable papers were published on basic than clinical medicine, and the number of citations received by the former was also larger. The higher citation rate in basic medicine may also be explained by the bigger percentage of papers published in international instead domestic journals. Hence, publication patterns would appear to affect research visibility. The methodology proposed may provide guidance for public policy makers to improve, encourage and intensify good biomedical research practice
The 5-year synchronous impact factor for large Journal Citation Reports (JCR) subject areas
No full textUsing the largest JCR Thomson Reuters subject areas it is shown that the two-year and the five-year impact factor of journals lead statistically to the same ranking per category. This observation holds for top journals as well as lower level journals. Yet in a majority of cases the 5-year impact factor is larger than the 2-year one. A special case was observed in which one article influenced macro statistics of a whole journal subject category
Project Retrosight. Understanding the returns from cardiovascular and stroke research: Case Studies
No full textCopyright @ 2011 RAND Europe. All rights reserved. The full text article is available via the link below.This project explores the impacts arising from cardiovascular and stroke research funded 15-20 years ago and attempts to draw out aspects of the research, researcher or environment that are associated with high or low impact. The project is a case study-based review of 29 cardiovascular and stroke research grants, funded in Australia, Canada and UK between 1989 and 1993. The case studies focused on the individual grants but considered the development of the investigators and ideas involved in the research projects from initiation to the present day. Grants were selected through a stratified random selection approach that aimed to include both high- and low-impact grants. The key messages are as follows: 1) The cases reveal that a large and diverse range of impacts arose from the 29 grants studied. 2) There are variations between the impacts derived from basic biomedical and clinical research. 3) There is no correlation between knowledge production and wider impacts 4) The majority of economic impacts identified come from a minority of projects. 5) We identified factors that appear to be associated with high and low impact. This report presents the key observations of the study and an overview of the methods involved. It has been written for funders of biomedical and health research and health services, health researchers, and policy makers in those fields. It will also be of interest to those involved in research and impact evaluation.This study was initiated with internal funding from RAND Europe and HERG, with continuing funding from the UK National Institute for Health Research, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and the National Heart Foundation of Australia. The UK Stroke Association and the British Heart Foundation provided support in kind through access to their archives
Unlocking the mysteries of the past: Searching for clues in medieval manuscripts
No full textThis project looks at the reproduction of one mid-12th-century Roman text by analyzing sixteen versions of it that still exist, copied from c. 1160 through c. 1325. The author was Nicolaus Maniacutius, a cleric at St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. That original copy is lost, but versions quickly appeared in monasteries and cathedrals in Italy, Germany, France, and England. Somehow, through networks of communication and travel, reproductions were made and collected by prominent monasteries and churches, and by the Guildhall, a secular institution in the City of London
SCImago
No full textThe degree to which a scholar’s work is cited by others has been regarded as an indicator of its scientific impact relative to other researchers in the web of scholarly communications. Likewise, various metrics based on citation counts have been developed to evaluate the impact of scholarly journals. Recently there has emerged a new research trend aimed at developing impact metrics that consider not only “the raw number of citations received by a scientific agent, but also the importance or influence of the actors who issue those citations.” These new metrics represent scientific impact as a function not of just the quality of citations received but of a combination of the quality and the quantity. For example, the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator, which has been developed by the SCImago Research Group headed by Professor Felix de Moya, and launched in December 2007, is a size-independent, web-based metric aimed at measuring the current average prestige per paper of journals. This indicator shows the visibility of the journals contained in the Scopus database
Dissemination of research: Author bibliometrics (EMRSG project)
No full textThis unit is part of a collaboratively produced set of 5 units, created using the Xerte toolkit, aimed at academic researchers to enable them to enhance the dissemination of their research outputs. Through a mixture of text, videos and reflective activities, 'Author bibliometrics' allows participants to undertstand the different metrics available; recognise the advantages and disadvantages of using bibliometric data; reflect on the uses of bibliometric data; recognise some of the available sources to search for this type of data.
