Abstract. We present a set of studies the objective of which was to test the robustness of the acknowledgment of earned entitlement effect across different experimental modes and populations. We present three sets of results. The first is derived from a between-subject analysis of two independent, but comparable samples of nonstudent adults. One sample participated in a standard, behavioral laboratory experiment and the other participated in a survey experiment. The two methods returned similar treatment effects.

Abstract. Responsible indicators are crucial for research assessment and monitoring. Transparency and accuracy of indicators are required to make research assessment fair and ensure reproducibility. However, sometimes it is difficult to conduct or replicate studies based on indicators due to the lack of transparency in conceptualization and operationalization. In this paper, we review the different variants of the Probabilistic Affinity Index (PAI), considering both the conceptual and empirical underpinnings.

Abstract. This paper presents a large-scale document-level comparison of two major bibliographic data sources: Scopus and Dimensions. The focus is on the differences in their coverage of documents at two levels of aggregation: by country and by institution. The main goal is to analyze whether Dimensions offers as good new opportunities for bibliometric analysis at the country and institutional levels as it does at the global level. Differences in the completeness and accuracy of citation links are also studied.

Resumen: El objetivo de esta nota de investigación es estudiar el diseño y evolución de los instrumentos de financiación de la investigación universitaria de un Gobierno autonómico (Xunta de Galicia) durante el periodo 2005-‍2018. Se presentan los principales factores y procesos asociados al diseño de las políticas científicas, desde una perspectiva histórica. Para ello se han analizado múltiples fuentes documentales y se han realizado entrevistas semiestructuradas, así como reuniones con actores relacionados con la cartera de instrumentos.

Extracto: Este artículo se centra en las implicaciones de un proyecto colaborativo de narración digital en la participación de los estudiantes dentro del contexto de la educación universitaria. El estudio empírico se lleva a cabo con un grupo interdisciplinario de estudiantes de licenciatura de una universidad nórdica (N=22) y una universidad en el sur de Europa (N=21), y los datos se recopilan a través de una encuesta en líea para estudiantes.
