Abstract

In this document the authors present the results of the retrieval, processing and analysis of data from publications of researchers affiliated to Universidad Santo Tomás, seccional Bucaramanga, 2016-2020. These data were retrieved from Scopus (citation index developed by Elsevier) and complemented with the analysis of publication data queried using Publish or Perish v.7 (developed by Tarma Software and Anne-Wil Harzing) from Google Scholar Authors’ Profiles (Alphabet Inc.) corresponding to researchers affiliated to seccional Bucaramanga. Bibliometric indicators of output, national and international coauthorship, and impact based on citation counts were extracted using VantagePoint v.13 (text-mining software developed by Search Technology and subscribed by Universidad Santo Tomás, Colombia). Moreover, indexing status in Scopus, quartile ranks, national indexing categories and international indexing homologation data were identified for each publication source by searching, on the one hand, in SCImago Journal and Country Rank (SCImago Lab) for sources indexed in Scopus, and, on the other hand, in Publindex for journals edited in Colombia (results from convocatoria 875/2020, MinCiencias Colombia) and international homologation status for all other journals identified in Google Scholar. Also, output activities in conference proceedings (symposia, workshops) were identified for each framework. Output and citation-based indicators were calculated for departments and individual researchers. Finally, document-level citation indicators retrieved from SciVal (Elsevier) such as Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and Field-Citation Average were added to citation counts for documents published in sources indexed in Scopus.
