“…Esta fase permite la delimitación del tema de estudio, la elaboración del marco teórico y la orientación en la elección de la metodología de la investigación. Por ese motivo, gestores de referencia como Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote Basic, RefWorks, entre otros, son herramientas indispensables en la investigación académica; por ello, es importante que los docentes conozcan y motiven el uso de estos gestores en sus estudiantes y que la universidad los incorpore en sus procesos de enseñanza, el cual representa un gran desafío para toda la comunidad universitaria que busca desarrollar competencias relacionadas a la investigación [11]. Así, con el uso de las herramientas digitales en la gestión de la información, se puede reducir la brecha de conocimiento en los estudiantes universitarios al optimizar el tiempo en la organización de los documentos y su adecuada citación y referencia en la presentación de sus reportes de investigación.…”

Currently, ICT has allowed the emergence of various digital tools that facilitate the research process. Given this, universities must assume the transfer of capabilities for their adequate use in this area. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to perform an analysis of the information management capacity for research in Peruvian engineering students based on three capabilities: search, selection, and processing. In the sample of 310 students, the results show a medium-level prevalence with an average of 69.4% in the three skills. This implies that universities and research centers should implement systems to accompany students in the development of strategies and procedures for them to carry out research efficiently.

“…Information technology plays an important role in research workflow and can help or hinder the research process. A scholar's work may fly with ease when searching Google scholar but may struggle wrestling with moving citations from their bibliography software into their collaborative editing software with co-authors (Ivey and Crum, 2018;Berry et al, 2020;Ince et al, 2020;Thai et al, 2020). Also, there are many tools to choose from for scholarly work such as library and free databases, citation managers, writing software, social media, data analysis software, storage systems and collaboration tools provided by universities or that are either freely available or that can only be obtained and used at a cost (Monroe-Gulick et al, 2017).…”

PurposeThis paper is a qualitative study of how social sciences faculty construct their research workflows with the help of technological tools. The purpose of this study is to examine faculty scholarly workflows and how both tools and practices support the research process. This paper could inform academic libraries on how to support scholars throughout the research process.Design/methodology/approachThis is a qualitative study case study of ten faculty members from six research universities from the United States and Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and recorded. Atlas.ti was used to code and analyze the transcripts; each participant was a separate case. Descriptive coding was used to identify digital tools used for collaboration; process and descriptive coding was utilized to examine practices in scholarly workflows.FindingsThrough case study analysis the results of this study include the role of technology in faculty research workflows. Each workflow was grouped into four categories: information literacy, information management, knowledge management, and scholarly communication. The findings included scholars creating simple workflows for efficiency and collaboration and utilizing workarounds.Research limitations/implicationsThe study did not observe faculty in the process of doing research and, thus, only reports on what the researchers say that they do.Originality/valueThe research is unique in that there is almost no research on how social scientists conduct their research workflows and the affordances/impasses of this process.
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.
