Resumo Considerando o crescimento do uso de indicadores bibliométricos e cientométricos em processos de avaliação da Pós-Graduação brasileira, buscou-se identificar o nível de cobertura da Web of Science em relação à produção bibliográfica brasileira (artigos) nas diferentes Grandes Áreas do Conhecimento e Áreas de Avaliação da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, agência pública brasileira de financiamento à pesquisa, apontando limites e possibilidades da adoção desses indicadores como mecanismos de avaliação dos resultados da atividade científica dos programas que compõem o Sistema Nacional de Pós-Graduação. Our suggestion for future research is to develop approaches to evaluate books by accounting for the value added to every book at every publishing stage, which is vital for the quality of book outputs from research assessment and scholarly communication perspectives. Even more, currently used rankings of publishers focus on evaluating the gatekeeping role of publishers but do not assess other essential stages in scholarly book publishing (e.g. Our findings support doubts about whether the assessment of books based on a judgement about their publishers yields acceptable outcomes. Likewise, we find that verification of compliance with the mandatory prerequisites is not always possible because of the lack of transparency. We show inconsistencies in the levelling of publishers, such as cases where the same publisher is ranked as prestigious and not-so-prestigious in different states or within the same country in consequent years. Additionally, we test whether such judgments are transparent and yield consistent results. ![]() Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, and Spain). We investigate the practicalities of assessing book outputs in different countries, concentrating on evaluation based on the prestige of book publishers (e.g. Numerous national research assessment policies aim to promote ‘excellence’ and incentivize scholars to publish their research in the most prestigious journals or with the most prestigious book publishers. Of the results in the form of categorization. Regarding the list of publishers, it is also explained the indicator which allows its ranking. Their quality among these characteristics, stands out the fact of counting with an assessment system with external reviewers. ![]() ![]() Reported the top-rated publishers, as well as the characteristics which, according to the respondents’ opinion, determine Spanish researchers, with a response rate of 26%, in which the respondents were asked to point those quality indicators theyĬonsider the most relevant for books as well as their opinion on the quality of publishers. This article reports a survey launched to 11,647 lecturers and To take into account the academy’s opinion to determine it. An indicator which could be used is the prestige of the publisher of monographs and it is essential The best way of assessing the monographs would involve its individualized reading, this method is practically unfeasible both ![]() Books are a key channel in the scientific communication processes for researchers in Social Sciences and Humanities.
