El artículo tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar la producción de libros académicos en Colombia entre 2013 y 2019. Para hacerlo, toma como fuente la base de datos de ISBN gestionada por la Cámara Colombiana del Libro y selecciona dentro del universo editorial general, a través de materias, la producción propiamente académica. Así, con la información exigida por la organización gremial del libro en el país y suministrada por los mismos editores, se presentan criterios que permiten caracterizar la producción de libros académicos en Colombia dentro del periodo Es la primera caracterización de este tipo que se hace en el país. Resulta llamativo que, según la metodología utilizada, el grupo de libros académicos constituya el 67% de la producción total de libros registrada. Las materias en las que más se publican libros académicos son Sociología con el 15%, Economía con el 12% y Derecho con el 10%. Con respecto al origen de las publicaciones, se debe reconocer el papel fundamental que juegan las editoriales universitarias. El grupo de libros académicos es además analizado por si se trata o no de traducciones. Este aporte es el piloto para consolidar los criterios para hacer posibles estudios comparados de la producción de libros académicos en países de habla española y portuguesa.
Science policymakers are devoting increasing attention to enhancing the social valorization of scientific knowledge. Since 2010, several international evaluation initiatives have been implemented to assess knowledge transfer and exchange practices and the societal impacts of research. Analysis of these initiatives would allow investigation of the different knowledge transfer and exchange channels and their effects on society and how their effects could be evaluated and boosted. The present study analyses the transfer sexenio programme, which is a first (pilot) assessment that was conducted in Spain to evaluate the engagement of individual researchers in knowledge transfer to and knowledge exchange with non-academic stakeholders, including professionals and society at large. The breadth of the information and supporting documentation available (more than 16,000 applications and 81,000 contributions) allows an exploration of knowledge valorization practices in terms of the transfer forms used and the researchers involved—distinguishing between the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts (SSHA) areas. By focusing on SSHA fields, we explore knowledge dissemination via enlightenment or professional outputs. We conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis which provide a more comprehensive overview of knowledge transfer practices in Spain in the SSHA field, in particular, and has implications for future assessment exercises.
