Evaluación y visibilidad de la investigación científica

The university is immersed in an unprecedented process of pedagogical change and renewal. In recent decades most countries have implemented mechanisms that allow them to assess the academic impact of scientific research, creating national and regional research agencies, trying to introduce a culture of quality assessment to create and validate knowledge, which leads to an optimization of these institutions through support for the competitiveness of research in order to create a system of development of science as a public good. The objective of scientific quality agencies is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of the higher education system through the evaluation, certification and accreditation of teaching, faculty and institutions by contributing to the establishment of a system of constant quality improvement. Agencies develop different degree evaluation programmes, curricula, programmes, quality seals and teacher accreditation. The latter evaluates the teaching and research activity and the academic training of applicants for access to the figures of university professor (Titular University Professors and University Professors)
