Abstract

Bibliographic control by academic libraries is currently of major importance. We describe the problems that arise and the planning required in the collection, tracking and dissemination of publications by university researchers. Open access platforms can be used to disseminate publications data, interacting with institutional archives and the CV of each researcher. In addition, libraries can regularly review and unify researcher profiles in bibliographic databases, improving the researcher's h-index and assisting in the collection of bibliographic data. Finally, it is useful for academic libraries to participate in and disseminate the Orcid project's unique identifier for the authors.

Abstract

Planning and problems encountered to collect, track and disseminate researchers publications at the University of Oviedo. The library is an essential part of the university’s Annual Research Report. A double bibliographic platform in Dspace is used, that allows user interaction with both the institutional research archive and the institutional open access repository, and also connects with software to produce researchers’ Standard Curriculum Vitae (currículum vitae normalizado, CVN). The library monitors authors profiles, checking them against the main scientific databases in order to calculate a more accurate h-index, and better use evaluation products like Scival Strata and Scival Spotlight.
