DESCRIPTION
The main objective of this workshop is to advise the Teaching and Research Staff in the preparation of the CNEAI research sexenios application. The topics to be covered are the following: 1) Philosophy and principles of evaluation of the CNEAI. 2) Presentation of the evaluation criteria at a general level. 3) Presentation of field-specific evaluation criteria. 4) Search for Quality Indicators for the contributions. *Parallel workshops may be created depending on the area of knowledge and CNEAI field. The aim of this course is to learn how to use bibliometric techniques in order to provide objective quality indicators to our publications. In terms of content, an introduction to the CNEAI evaluation philosophy and a detailed explanation of the administrative process for submitting the application is offered. The next module reviews the evaluation criteria for contributions, both at a general level and by scientific field. Then, we explain in detail which are the products and indicators that we can use to support our contributions. Finally, we present a series of frequently asked questions that often arise when preparing the call for application. This course is recommended for teachers who are going to apply for a research period.
