“…They could be granites from quarries that have disappeared or granite brought from Portugal, since they have similar characteristics to certain local ones. Intensive searches in the historic documentation might help to detect former quarries that could be used if restoration of these buildings had to be implemented (Pereira et al, 2013).…”

“…Sería precisa una búsqueda más exhaustiva en los archivos de esas ciudades para ubicar las canteras históricas que se utilizaron en el abastecimiento de roca de construcción en las épocas correspondientes. De este modo, si fuese posible, se propondría la utilización de dicho material en caso de necesidad de aplicar acciones de reemplazamiento para restauración de los edificios históricos afectados (Pereira et al 2013).…”

“…Dichos objetivos permitirán por un lado la localización, caracterización y conservación de las canteras históricas de algunas de estas piedran naturales que no se comercializan como tales y que ya no se utilizan de manera sistemática en construcción, así como servir de ayuda a los profesionales de la arquitectura y la restauración en la selección de los materiales más apropiados en las acciones de restauración de edificios históricos (Baltuille et al 2012;Pereira et al 2013) Por último, proponemos utilizar estos conocimientos para apoyar la candidatura de las distintas piedras González, C., et al, 2017.

“…From the search, it was observed that most of the publications from 2016 where not yet uploaded onto the WoS database. Surprisingly, it was detected that the WoS listed some of published book chapters and proceedings (e.g., Pereira et al, 2010aPereira et al, , 2013aNavarro et al, 2015a), but not all, independently of whether these books were considered in the Book Citation Report, as is the case of the Lyell Collection, published by the Geological Society of London as Special Publications. It was found that the list of publications in WoS for D. Pereira contained one book chapter in one of these Special Publications (Pereira et al, 2007), but was lacking five chapters that had been published in three of the same serial publication Publications (Pereira et al, 2010b(Pereira et al, , 2015b(Pereira et al, , 2015cPereira and Cooper, 2014;Navarro et al, 2015b;.…”

Citations and the h-index are parameters to evaluate a researcher's performance. Several platforms are used to analyse these parameters. However, all of them differ in their methods. As a consequence, an author can appear with several different h-index values and with a varying number of publications and citations, which can differ by more than a hundred per cent from one platform to another. This work investigates the differences in values obtained using the publication data of the author of this paper. The conclusion is that the databases most frequently used for academic purposes are not always the most objective, as they can lack important information that can be found in other databases that are often less considered. Here, recommendations for carrying out a citation search are made and include: avoiding a single number to characterize an author by his/her h-index; using a combination of available platforms; and exploring the use of more objective tools to evaluate the research trend of a researcher, who may depend on these numeric values for obtaining a job or a promotion.

“…Therefore, knowing the location of original stone source, as well as the petrographical and petrophysical properties of the rock, helps guarantee effective restoration work. Consequently, the interest of research groups in historical quarries has been increasing in recent years (Cooper, 2010;Hyslop et al, 2010;Fronteau et al, 2010;Baltuille et al, 2012;Pereira et al, 2013).…”

The historical quarry of the Nueva Tabarca fortress (Mediterranean Sea, SE of Spain) was developed in a complex sedimentary Miocene deposit. Five lithostratigraphic units have been defined, including different lithologies such as breccias and microconglomerates (Unit 1), massive and laminated lithoarenites (Units 1, 3 and 5), calcarenites and biocalcirudites (Units 2 and 4). A complete stratigraphic description of this sequence has been carried out, as well as the petrophysical characterization of the most significant lithologies including the analysis of rock durability as well as hydraulic and mechanical properties. Regarding durability, the softest rocks correspond to those from the Unit 4, whilst samples from Units 2 and 5 are the most durable. Three weathering patterns were observed during the artificial ageing test according to both the velocity and intensity of the sample decay. Each pattern is explained according to water-circulation possibility through the rock, its porous system, and the mechanical strength. Rock weathering in monuments of Nueva Tabarca is quantified and discussed according to the results found in the laboratory. Several decay forms are observed in the building stones (mainly differential erosion, alveolization, and rounding forms). Both 3D photogrammetric and 3D geological model of the historical quarry were elaborated in order to quantify the extracted volume of building stones, differentiating the specific quarried percentage of each lithology. Correlation between the results obtained in the volumetric analysis of the historical quarry and the building stones used in the monuments has been carried out. 3D models were also used for determining the remaining rock volume in the current outcrops. Finally, a set of recommendations for future conservation works of the architectural heritage are proposed after the current availability of the different rock varieties and their petrophysical behaviour.
