a b s t r a c tGovernmental initiatives around scientific policy have progressively raised collaboration to priority status. In this context, a need has arisen to broaden the traditional approach to the analysis and study of research results by descending to the group or even the individual scale and supplementing the output-, productivity-, visibility-and impact-based focus with new measures that emphasize collaboration from the vantage of structural analysis. To this end, the present paper proposes new hybrid indicators for the analysis and evaluation of individual research results, popularity and prestige, that combine bibliometric and structural aspects. A case study was conducted of the nine most productive departments in Carlos III University of Madrid. The findings showed hybridization to be a tool sensitive to traditional indicators, but also to the new demands of modern science as a self-organized system of interaction among individuals, furnishing information on researchers' environments and the behaviour and attitudes adopted within those environments.
Análisis bibliométrico de la red de colaboración científica que genera la coautoría de artículos entre autores de las universidades españolas. A partir de los documentos contenidos en el Science and Social Citation Index entre 2000 y 2004, se analizaron los datos de producción más importantes aplicando el método de análisis de redes sociales, elaborando un mapa bibliométrico que permite su visualización. La red de colaboración interuniversitaria en España resultante, permite observar que está compuesta mediante la interconexión de subredes de colaboración de ámbito regional. La red de colaboración entre las universidades españolas se constituye en un gran componente con ausencia de componentes alternativos y/o nodos aislados. La colaboración entre los investigadores universitarios españoles está geográficamente localizada.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
