Daftar Isi:
- In Latin America, universities have a leading role in academic communications, mainly in the publication and dissemination of journals and books, and in the development of journal portals and digital repositories to disseminate open access publications. A critical view is presented to the traditional evaluation indicators (WoS and Scopus) that very poorly reflect the social science production published in the region and indexed in the regional quality journals portals Latindex Catalog, Redalyc and SciELO, which have developed indicators that only exceptionally are taken into account in the evaluation processes. The DORA statement and the Leiden Manifesto are described as examples of international trends in the critical review of evaluation processes and their indicators. And it emphasizes the opportunity that universities in the region have to implement peer review processes of all their scientific publications, and describe that process in each digital publication to be taken into account in evaluation processes. Universities are also recommended to support research on these issues and contribute to renewing the indicators used for evaluation in the social sciences. The cases of CONICET and Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Argentina, and CLACSO at the regional level are presented.
