  4. Bibliometric analysis and its contribution for university governance Research Importance: knowledgesupplyandvaluechain, teachersscientificandtechnicalcontinuouseducation, satisfaction ofteaching & research staff Outcomes: papers, patents, reports Inputs: labourand 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 thecurrentdefinition? How to calculatethemonetaryvalueofoutcomes? Whatisusuallydone ?: select a set ofcriteriaandcharacterizequantitavellyandqualitativellywithindicators (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 Bibliometricsshouldbeconsidered as importantinformation to HEIsgovernance Still a lot to bedone: reliablemodels for performance assessment (scientificbasis, staff acceptanceandstakeholdersunderstanding) real consideration in resourcesallocationdecisionmaking
