ARQUS ClusterMap: UGR Bibliometric Reports Part II Torres Salinas, Daniel; Huertas-García, Carmen; Ríos-Gómez, Claudia; Arroyo Machado, Wenceslao The Arqus European University Alliance, which was formally established in Brussels on 27 November 2018, brings together the universities of Bergen, Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon, Padova and Vilnius. A multilateral alliance of internationalized institutions that aspires to consolidate a joint governance structure to achieve a high level of integration in its members’ policies and action plans for 2025 due to their prior experience in cooperation in order to: Enhance the education of critically engaged European and global citizens who are able and willing to contribute to a multicultural, multilingual and inclusive Europe which is open to the world; Increase and improve the joint research capacity of the partner universities; Better respond to the grand societal challenges of the 21st century in Europe and beyond.[1] There are a total of six action lines to reach this level of integration and achieve excellence in education and research. One of them is “Research Support and Early Stage Researcher Development”, which is coordinated by the Research Board, chaired by University of Graz. Its main objectives are: I. share best practice in research management and support; II. study the feasibility of sharing resources; III. promote joint doctoral initiatives and promote shared opportunities. Among its planned activities the first one is ClusterMap, an in-depth analysis of the status quo of research connections within the cluster (alliance). So as part of that activity this report offers an initial study to observe their research status and collaborations for the last 10 years. The main goals of the report are: Analyse the general research profile and publication trend of ARQUS’ universities. Study the collaborations between universities and identify which are their main and common research areas in order to facilitate and promote collaborations between them. An in depth analysis of the the universities publication and specialization profiles according to areas and disciplines Identify and map oustanding researcheres with the objetive of stablish a directory that facilite future collaborations

Indicadores y estadísticas de Investigación UGR 2022 Ríos-Gómez, Claudia; Huertas-García, Carmen; Torres Salinas, Daniel La UGR ha publicado en 2021 un total de 4383 artículos científicos en revistas indexadas en las bases de datos Web of Science (sin incluir ESCI); esta cifra supone un ascenso sobre el año 2020, cuando se publicaron 4248 artículos, es decir, la producción científica ha aumentado un 2,33%. Sigue aumentando la cantidad de artículos científicos que la UGR publica en Acceso Abierto alcanzando su máximo en el año 2021 con 1484. Dichos trabajos han sido publicados en revistas de la denominada Ruta Dorada (Gold Open Access). La UGR publica el 24% de sus artículos en revistas en acceso abierto, una cifra que supera la media nacional. A nivel nacional y, considerando los años 2017-2021, la UGR se mantiene como la quinta universidad española con mayor producción científica internacional, y la primera universidad de Andalucía gracias a la publicación de un total de 16806 artículos. La investigación universitaria granadina se mantiene por quinto año consecutivo entre las 300 mejores universidades del mundo, según la clasificación del Ranking Académico de las Universidades del Mundo (ARWU) de 2021, más conocido como el Ranking de Shanghái. En el Ranking de Shanghái, la UGR comparte posición con la Autónoma de Barcelona, y la Complutense de Madrid, que también se encuentran entre los puestos 201-300 a nivel mundial, y puestos 2-4 a nivel nacional. En 2021 contamos con ocho investigadores altamente citados en las áreas de Computer Science, Cross-Field, Engineering, Mathematics, según los listados de Clarivate Analytics. La UGR es la segunda universidad española con mayor número de investigadores altamente citados por detrás de la Universidad de Barcelona que tiene diez. Hemos de indicar que 25 universidades españolas consiguen situar al menos un investigador en estos listados de excelencia.

The role of scientific output in public debates in times of crisis: A case study of the reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic Gabriela F., Nane; van Schalkwyk, François; Dudek, Jonathan; Torres Salinas, Daniel; Costas, Rodrigo; Robinson García, Nicolás In exceptional circumstances such as health pandemics, it is to be expected that policy actions are supported by a balanced use of scientific information to support decision-making that impacts the lives of citizens. However, situations in which no scientific consensus has been reached due to either insufficient, inconclusive or contradicting findings place strain on governments and public organizations which are forced to take action under circumstances of uncertainty. In this chapter, we focus on the case of COVID-19, its effects on children and the public debate around the reopening of schools. The aim is to better understand the relationship between policy interventions in the face of an uncertain and rapidly changing knowledge landscape and the subsequent use of scientific information in public debates related to the policy interventions. Our approach is to combine scientific information from journal articles and preprints with their appearance in the popular media, including social media. First, we provide a picture of the different scientific areas and approaches, by which the effects of COVID-19 on children are being studied (e.g., transmission, infection, severity, etc.). This provides a snapshot of the scientific focus and priorities in relation to COVID-19 and children. Second, we identify news media and social media attention around the COVID-19 scientific output related to children and schools. We focus on policies and media responses in three countries: Spain, South Africa and the Netherlands. These countries have followed very different policy actions with regard to the reopening of schools and represent very different policy approaches to the same problem. We analyse the activity in (social) media around the debate between COVID-19, children and school closures by focusing on the use of references to scientific information in the debate. Finally, we analyse the dominant topics that emerge in the news outlets and the online debates. We draw attention to illustrative cases of miscommunication related to scientific output and conclude the chapter by discussing how information from scientific publication, the media and policy actions shape the public discussion in the context of a global health pandemic.

The growth of COVID-19 scientific literature: A forecast analysis of different daily time series in specific settings Torres Salinas, Daniel; Robinson García, Nicolás; van Schalkwy, François; F. Nane, Gabriela; Castillo Valdivieso, Pedro Ángel We present a forecasting analysis on the growth of scientific literature related to COVID-19 expected for 2021. Considering the paramount scientific and financial efforts made by the research community to find solutions to end the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented volume of scientific outputs is being produced. This questions the capacity of scientists, politicians and citizens to maintain infrastructure, digest content and take scientifically informed decisions. A crucial aspect is to make predictions to prepare for such a large corpus of scientific literature. Here we base our predictions on the ARIMA model and use two different data sources: the Dimensions and World Health Organization COVID-19 databases. These two sources have the particularity of including in the metadata information on the date in which papers were indexed. We present global predictions, plus predictions in three specific settings: by type of access (Open Access), by NLM source (PubMed and PMC), and by domain-specific repository (SSRN and MedRxiv). We conclude by discussing our findings. Paper submitted to the ISSI Conference 2021.
