2
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Context, in short… Research Productivity (??) & Measurement Resources Allocation Management Bibliometrics Conclusions, some…
3
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Governance of HEIs Economic relevance: direct and indirect Resources effective use: increase productivity Multi–services, joint production: undergraduate, professional and graduate education, R&D …, other services
4
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Research Importance: knowledge supply and value chain, teachers scientific and technical continuous education, satisfaction of teaching & research staff Outcomes: papers, patents, reports Inputs: labour and non-labour (buildings, equipment, research projects, materials, energy, sponsors, etc.)
5
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Research Productivity (1) Can we use the current definition? How to calculate the monetary value of outcomes? What is usually done ?: select a set of criteria and characterize quantitavelly and qualitativelly with indicators (proxis)
6
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Research Productivity (2) Scientific publications (type, number, impact) Coordination and participation in research projects (type, number, impact) PhD Students supervision (number) Other
7
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Measuring Research Productivity Construct a model using other metrics, with: criteria (variables) indicators (parameters) index (combined indicators)
8
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Resources Allocation Management Measure Compare with objectives Take actions on the resources allocation Set new objectives
9
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Bibliometrics (1) Measure the only “true” direct research outcome Research staff values it Very important externally (research projects, rankings, image, etc.)
10
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Bibliometrics (2) Difficult to measure (complexity) Difficult to normalize Difficult to represent by an indicator Difficult to manipulate?? Better likelyhood to represent authentic success
11
Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Conclusions Bibliometrics should be considered as important information to HEIs governance Still a lot to be done: reliable models for performance assessment (scientific basis, staff acceptance and stakeholders understanding) real consideration in resources allocation decision making
