Scientific production and visibility of UNIANDES researchers in SCOPUS: A retrospective bibliometric study in Ecuador
Keywords:
UNIANDES, scientific productions, bibliometrics, bibliometric indicators, EcuadorAbstract
The study of the production of articles and the position of the authors is of great interest in the academic field and university research. Scientific research serves as a quality indicator in university processes, therefore, establishing scientific evaluation indicators is crucial to make efficient decisions in the use of resources and in administrative management. The present work was carried out with the objective of analyzing the behavior of scientific production and the visibility of UNIANDES researchers during the period from January 2015 to January 2022. For this, a retrospective bibliometric study was carried out using the database Scopus data as a source of information. The results reveal a significant increase in the scientific production of the university and in the performance indicators in recent years. This production is characterized by its originality and focuses on areas such as business management, social sciences, accounting, economics, finance and mathematics. The most prolific authors with the greatest academic impact stand out for their participation in extensive networks of scientific collaboration. However, there is a lack of collaboration with international institutions, the most common being collaboration between researchers from different regional headquarters. In terms of international positioning, UNIANDES has stood out as one of the top 20 universities in Ecuador in terms of scientific impact.
