Coordination: Gustavo Fischman
It seeks to analyze the impact and reach of Latin American research, contributing to improve the quality of data sources that enable access to the knowledge produced in the region’s academic institutions. The study will determine how research published in Latin America and the Caribbean circulates and contributes to the construction of a regional and global base of public knowledge. It will provide support for future research on the public absorption of regional scientific production and will contribute to the development of open models of innovation for South-South collaboration in research and development.
Objectives
– Evaluate the current capabilities to measure the impact and reach of Latin American research communities.
– Improve the information systems used to generate data on the impact and reach of scientific research in Latin America.
– Conduct impact and reach studies within the academic community.
