Precisión de los perfiles de autor en portales institucionales de producción científica

Abstract

Universities disseminate their scientific production using research portals integrating their researchers’ publications from bibliographic databases such as Web of Science. This study examined the correspondence between the available information of the University of Salamanca researchers in Web of Science and the USAL Research Portal. The methodology employed was mixed and included automated and manual analysis techniques for Web of Science data processing, which made it possible to identify inconsistencies in the publication and author data. We developed a five-phase methodology; it provided a semi-automatic extraction of ResearcherID identifiers from Web of Science of researchers who did not have this identifier in the USAL Portal and helped validate the correctness of the existing identifiers. The method used in the analysis and the typification of incidences are replicable in any research entity. The conclusions determine the consistency of the information provided by Web of Science, advocate for the autonomy of institutional
