The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) project is a Research Evaluation Platform and Ranking Generator to analyze research outputs of universities and research-focused institutions. The SIR platform aims at designing analytical tools to help institutions monitor and assess their research outcomes and make decisions to improve their research performance and funding opportunities.

The SCImago Journal & Country Rank is a portal that includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus database (Elsevier B.V.). These indicators can be used to assess and analyze scientific domains.

The Atlas of Science* project proposes the creation of an information system whose major aims is to achieve a graphic representation of the IberoAmerican Science Research. Such representation is conceived as a collection of interactive maps, allowing navigation functions throughout the semantic spaces formed by the maps.

In addition, Map Indexes by Autonomous Regions is a browsable mapping system that represents the spanish scientific production in the years 1998-2000 by Autonomous Regions. The access mode is by subject or by institutions. The organization is based on Social Science Networks (SNN) methodology.

The Ranking Iberoamericano de Instituciones de Investigación - RI3 application is part of the R+D project The Atlas of Science elaborated by the SCImago research group. At this point in time, RI3 makes available the scientific information contained in the databases of Thomson Scientific - ISI regarding the ten Ibero-American couuntries with the most scientific output. Gradually, the data from Peru and Uruguay will be incorporated, as these are the next countries in terms of overall production; to be followeb later on by Costa Rica and Panama, until eventually all the countries of the region are included. Preselection of the institutions was based on the criterion that, during the period 1990-2004, they had managed to produce at least 100 scientific documents recorded in the aforementioned databases.

The interactive character of this application allows for the analysis of scientific output from different perspectives: by country, by geographical region or globally, by field of knowledge, or by type of scientific indicator.

It is important to underline that, at present, the different indicators used to associate each institution with a specific amount of production or an impact factors are consistenly based on the number of documents gathered in the journals indexed in the Thomson Scientific - ISI databases. Parallel work now underway is aimed to incorporate indicators from other databases.

The following links (Geographic Zones, Areas, Institutions, Scientific Indicators) describe the concepts of classification and include fold-out menus for the application.

FECYT offers, through this portal, a new service of added value that allows the user to configure reports about the scientific output of researchers.

MPI (Mi Perfil Investigador) is a tool developed by the SCImago research group of the University of Granada, in the framework of the project known as The Atlas of Science. This tool elaborates a bibliometric report that shows the data corresponding to scientific production of a given author or group of authors as derived from the databases of Thomson Scientific.

The information provided refers to output, collaboration, visibility, etc., related with the documental corpus selected. The generation of a report begins with the search for an author and the selection of the documents associated with him/her. MPI uses data from the period 1990-2005; the fact that it is annual can determine the precision of the analysis of one or more specific indicators within that limited time frame.

This tool can be utilized by all persons authorized to use the WOK databases, for which reason no previous register is required.

If you are an authorized user of WOK, click in the link MPI to access the service. All WOK users that have direct access via a fixed ip will be able to view the MPI consultation screen. For users with variable ip or users from a remote situations, a screen of WOK identification will appear, and using the same passwords as for a normal register, the system will present the page of consultation of the MPI.

Once the initial page of MPI is accessed, introduce the same of the researcher that you wish to consult and click on Search. You can also indicate the scientific field on which the search is focused. The different forms of the author name identified by the system will be shown. Select those considered correct and click on Send.The next screen shows the scientific output of the author identified by the system. The user selects those that are considered to be correct (by default, all appears as selected) and clicks on Report. The bibliometric report of the forms of the selected author name will appear. For more information, consult the complete user manual or use the contextual help made available on the pages themselves.
