Se crea un Centro para la investigación de la Web en Inglaterra (I Aguillo)

The Government today announced the creation of the new Institute for
Web Science.

It is designed to make the UK the hub of international research into
the next generation of web and internet technologies and their
commercialisation, and was announced by the Prime Minister alongside
plans for a radical opening up of information and data to put more
power in people´s hands. The Institute will conduct research,
collaborate with businesses, identify opportunities for social and
economic benefit, assist in commercialising research and help
Government stimulate demand through procurement.

The web was originally a place where people published documents that
users could search and pick up. Web 2.0 has enabled users to
contribute and create web content more easily. Web 3.0 will take the
web to a whole new level by publishing data in a linkable format so
that users and developers can see and exploit the relationships
between different sets of information.

The development of these technologies will create significant new
opportunities for business and the public sector. The impact of these
technologies is likely to be as important as the creation of the
original web, and could generate large-scale economic benefits for the
UK in the global market for web and internet technologies. The role of
the Institute will be to undertake research and development, and act
as a bridge between research and business, helping commercialise these
new technologies. It will also advise Government on how semantic
technologies can be used in the public sector, and how public
procurement can be used to speed their adoption.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that £30 million would be set aside
to create the Institute for Web Science. It will be headed by Sir Tim
Berners Lee, the British inventor of the World Wide Web, and leading
Web Science expert Professor Nigel Shadbolt.

Introducción y estudio comparativo de los nuevos indicadores de
citación sobre revistas científicas en Journal Citation Reports y
Scopus

Resumen: La evaluación de revistas científicas con indicadores
bibliométricos ha estado dominada por el Impact factor desde los años
70. Sin embargo recientemente Thomson ha incluido en Journal Citation
Reports el Eigen factor y el Article influence score. Por otro lado
Elsevier ha apostado por incluir en Scopus el Source normalized
impact per paper (SNIP) y el SCImago journal rank (SJR). En este
trabajo se introducen y se describen dichos indicadores. Para
estudiar las semejanzas se realiza un análisis de correlación entre
los indicadores tradicionales y las nuevos, especificándose los
resultados en 27 áreas científicas. Se observó cómo existen parejas
de indicadores como Eigen-Citas, Impact factor-Article score, Impact
factor-SJR o SJR-Article score que se correlacionan en gran parte de
las áreas. Como las correlaciones manifestaron comportamientos
diferentes en Ciencias y en Ciencias sociales se recomienda tener en
cuenta el área científica a la hora de seleccionar un indicador.

Descriptores: Indicadores bibliométricos, Thomson-Reuters, Scopus,
Revistas científicas, Rankings, Factor de impacto, Eigen factor, SJR,
SNIP.

Guia sobre la evaluacion por pares (T Baiget EPI)

The UK's Research Information Network (RIN) has released a guide, Peer
review: a guide for researchers, that sets out the processes involved
in peer review for both grant applications and publications. It also
looks at the issues that have been raised in a series of recent
reports on the costs of the system, and how effective and fair it is.
The new guide provides researchers with an understanding of how peer
review works and highlights some of the issues that surround the
current debates about the peer review process. It looks at how
effective peer review is in selecting the best research proposals, as
well as in detecting misconduct and malpractice.

Contents
1. What is peer review?
2. How does it work?
3. Support and criticism
4. Is it effective?
5. Is it fair? Subjectivity and transparency
6. Is it efficient? Speeding it up and lightening the burden
7. New challenges and opportunities
