Boletín bibliométrico USTA - No. 1 (2019)

Abstract

The Universidad Santo Tomás in its 439 years of life and history has been maintained by the Christian humanist thought of Saint Tomás de Aquino that highlights professionals as articulators of truth and knowledge with impact and social belonging for the development of the country.

For three years, the General Academic Vice-Chancellor and the Directorate of Research and Innovation Headquarters included in its Strategic Plan actions to improve the visibility and impact of new knowledge of students, teachers, researchers, research and administrative groups. This generated an institutional framework oriented towards the creation of the Research Policy of the University and the digital ecosystem with platforms, networks and good practices in what is known as Science 2.0 and 3.0. In this sense, in 2017 thanks to the joint and collaborative work among the dependencies, headquarters and sectional, the USTA Scientology Observatory is created with the objective of establishing a qualitative and quantitative capture and analysis window of the University, indexed and / or Available in different media or media. With the launch of the USTA Bibliometric Bulletin we will see the delivery of a report of analysis and reflection for the entire academic community of the USTA and the country. In its content the results of the publications of the University in the mainstream (Scopus and WOS) and alternate (Scielo and Redalyc) are addressed. In addition, the behavior of the citation indexes of authors in Google Scholar is analyzed. In relation to the University's periodicals, data was collected since 2010, the "Impact Factor" index was applied and the quartiles were assigned to the journals as is done in international rankings such as Scimago and Journal Citation Report. Finally, it explores the behavior of the institutional repository and the impact that we have had since its implementation in 2015. Each of this publication recognizes the USTA authors, teachers and researchers who have achieved the highest bibliographic indicators to highlight their effort and dedication.
