Delgado-López-Cózar","doi":"10.3145/thinkepi.2022.e16a37","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3145/thinkepi.2022.e16a37","url":null,"abstract":"This essay provides some reflections on the origin of the current scientific evaluation system in Spain, focusing on an analysis of the system of selection and accreditation of university faculty. This system was put in place to prevent academic inbreeding. The thesis that this is mainly a centralized system is rebutted: although accreditation is indeed centralized, faculty selection is carried out by universities themselves. It is argued that we cannot fully trust universities to establish policies that are immune to localism and nepotism if they are not held fully responsible for their actions. The functional imbalance that exists in Spanish university teaching staff is highlighted. Among the activities currently carried out by university professors (teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and management), research is the most highly valued in evaluation programs. More specifically, publications are key to launch and advance careers in the academic environment. The success of the program of sexenios (six-year assessment periods), which serves not only as an incentive for productivity but also as an instrument to establish scientific reputation and academic hierarchy, has contributed to this situation. Other features of the current evaluation system in Spain are the predominance of individual-level evaluation and the use of bibliometric indicators as the final quality values. The Spanish academic evaluation system chose to give preference to individual-level evaluation. Once again, the origin of this approach can be found in the introduction of teacher and researcher productivity salary supplements in 1989. Spanish academics grew up in a culture of individual-level evaluation where they had to obtain their jobs through competitive examinations and were rewarded with bonuses on the basis of personal achievements. Quantitative criteria appeared as the necessary antidotes to curb nepotism. In a country lacking infrastructure and a culture of evaluation, quantitative indicators ensured objectivity and efficiency in the processes of selection and evaluation of publications, and, indirectly, a minimum amount of rigor and relevance of the research itself. The thoughts exposed here are accompanied by suggestions that might help guide the necessary reform of the scientific evaluation system.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Resumen\u0000Reflexiones sobre el origen del sistema de evaluación científica en España, centrando el análisis en el sistema de selección y acreditación del profesorado universitario.

Martín-Martín","doi":"10.3145/thinkepi.2022.e16a41","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3145/thinkepi.2022.e16a41","url":null,"abstract":"An aspect that in my view is insufficiently questioned in conversations about the future of scholarly communication is the framing of academic documents as products of a publishing industry (publications). Here, I propose that documents that serve as evidence of scholarly and scientific activities should be primarily understood as records (elements of an archive), with all that this entails. This is compatible both with the public nature of many of these documents and with the need for editing processes. The result would be a true scholarly record that is worthy of its name, something that could not exist in the past because of technical limitations. This radical shift in perspective reveals the need for academic institutions and communities to take responsibility for the governance of scholarly communication processes, a demand recently voiced by several international organizations and expert groups. The approach outlined here intends to place the management of processes in scholarly communication at the same level as any other human activity that generates documents that are considered necessary to keep supporting said activity. In other areas, responsible organizations apply the principles of records management to appraise and implement the workflows that best support the activities of the organization. This is not the case in scholarly communication, where owing to historical reasons, communication is structured around an industry in which a small number of commercial actors have eventually amassed a disproportionate amount of power, ultimately giving rise to models in which a number of sectors of the academic community are systematically excluded on economic grounds. In summary, this work argues that the digital transformation of scholarly communication points to the need for scholarly records management. Initiatives such as the FAIR principles can be framed as steps in this direction.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Resumen: Un aspecto a mi parecer no suficientemente cuestionado en las conversaciones sobre el futuro de la comunicación científica es la condición de los documentos académicos como productos de una industria editorial (publicaciones).

Se generaría así un verdadero archivo académico (scholarly record), algo que no era posible en épocas previas por limitaciones técnicas. Esta radical diferencia de enfoque pone de manifiesto la necesidad de que las instituciones y comunidades académicas asuman la responsabilidad de gobernar los procesos de comunicación científica, demanda recientemente pronunciada por diversas instituciones y grupos de expertos internacionales.

The piece reflects on the two main functions that Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) are aimed to fulfill. These to some extent conflicting functions are in the first place to showcase the research activity conducted within an organization as a practical implementation of Open Science, and then to collect and store institutional research information for internal use in evidence-based decision-making processes. The text argues that both functions are in fact complementary. Moreover, simultaneously pursuing both of them requires an efficient collaboration across systems (technical interoperability) and across the various institutional units involved in the management and administration of CRIS systems (human interoperability). The text explores the present CRIS landscape in Spain under this double-function perspective and highlights some best-practice case studies in terms of this collaboration.\u0000\u0000\u0000Resumen\u0000Como continuación a la nota ThinkEPI de 2019 sobre esta misma materia (De-Castro, 2019), este texto reflexiona sobre las dos principales funciones, en cierta medida contrapuestas entre sí, de los sistemas de gestión de la información científica o CRIS.
