Visibilidad científica y académica en la web 2.0: análisis de grupos de investigación de la Universidad de La Sabana

Abstract

The traditional model of scientific communication focuses on the dissemination of results in traditional media such as magazines, congresses, reports, conferences, etc. However, with the arrival of the Web 2.0 web, new possibilities have emerged to improve the visibility of academic contents in Internet interaction spaces and new ways to measure their impact, such as the so-called Altmetrics (Priem, 2010). Consequently, the objective of this study was to diagnose the status of the visibility of the researchers of the research groups of the University of La Sabana in web 2.0. For this, a quantitative analysis of the descriptive type was carried out once the academic and social platforms allow the circulation of scientific and / or academic contents on the Internet. In this way it is possible to identify the low participation of researchers in the platforms that enhance scientific visibility in the web 2.0.
