TL;DR

This study analyzes the online research profiles of staff at the Public University of Navarra, examining their presence across multiple platforms and how it relates to variables like department, gender, and research group.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of research staff profiles across various platforms, highlighting differences and patterns in their online research presence.

Findings

Most staff have profiles on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.

Presence varies significantly by department and gender.

Many staff members lack profiles on some platforms.

Abstract

This work aims to monitor and control the presence of UPNA research staff in the main research profiles platforms, not only in the most obvious ones such as Google Scholar Citation, Researcher ID, Scopus ID and ORCID, but also in other services that, in practice, they function as research profiles, such as Mendeley, Linkedin, ResearchGate, Academia.edu and Academica-e. We also find it interesting to analyze that presence and see how it responds to a variables, such as the department, gender, job category, research group. In this study we have excluded some platforms for different reasons. Dialnet profiles are entered from the UPNA library (BUPNA), which means that all those who meet the requirements for inclusion would be there, so their analysis does not make much sense, since it depends on factors outside the will of the researcher himself. The same is the case with the UPNA Scientific Production Portal (PPC): the data is entered from the Vicerrectorado de Investigaci\'on and should include all members of the UPNA PDI. Using as a base the census of university research staff provided by the Vicerrectorado de Investigaci\'on, it has been verified, for each author, the existence or not of a profile in the different services studied. The results have been tabulated in an Excel file to be able to analyze them later. The data has been collected in March 2018 for Orcid, ResearcherID, ScopusID, Google Scholar Citations and Mendeley. In November 2018, data from Academica-e, Academia.edu, ResearchGate and Linkedin were taken. For each of the profiles, a search by institutional affiliation was used, when possible, to obtain a first list of UPNA research personnel with that profile. Subsequently, a search was carried out, person by person, of the rest of the research staff that did not appear in that first list.
