          Abstract

          RESUMEN Objetivo: La sociedad actual ha sido testigo de cómo el rol del docente en la universidad se ha transformado por el impacto de las TIC. El propósito de la presente investigación es evaluar el comportamiento de docentes universitarios de Ciencias Pedagógicas en un período de un año respecto a la comunicación y la colaboración científica en redes sociales académicas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio longitudinal de tipo panel sobre una muestra de 12 investigadores. Los instrumentos aplicados para obtener la información fueron la entrevista y la observación de perfiles en las redes. Resultados: Se obtuvo una conceptualización de los procesos de comunicación y colaboración científica en redes sociales académicas. El principal hallazgo de la investigación muestra que los investigadores son reacios a compartir recursos y a contribuir con sus aportes a las investigaciones de otros académicos en ambientes digitales. Otro resultado relevante es que las redes sociales académicas son esencialmente utilizadas para difundir información preferentemente en formato de artículo. Conclusiones: La comunicación y colaboración científica en redes sociales académicas son afectadas fundamentalmente por dos elementos: la tendencia a no compartir ni solicitar recursos y la inercia al empleo de tecnologías colaborativas en la investigación.

          ABSTRACT Objective: The current society has witnessed how the role of teachers at the university has been transformed by the impact of ICT. The purpose of this research is to assess the Pedagogical Sciences university teachers’ behavior during a one-year period as scientific communication and collaboration in academic social networks is concerned. Methods: A panel longitudinal study was carried out on a sample of 12 researchers. Instruments applied for gathering information were the interview and the network profiles observation. Results: A conceptualization of scientific communication and collaboration processes in academic social networks was an outcome. The main finding of this research shows that researchers are reluctant to share resources and to contribute with their knowledge to other academician's researches in digital environments. Another relevant outcome is that academic social networks are used essentially for disseminating information, in paper format preferably. Conclusions: Scientific communication and collaboration in academic social networks are affected fundamentally by two elements: the trend to avoid sharing or requesting information and the inertia to the use of collaborative technologies for researching.

              Digital Presence of Norwegian Scholars on Academic Network Sites—Where and Who Are They?

              The use of academic profiling sites is becoming more common, and emerging technologies boost researchers’ visibility and exchange of ideas. In our study we compared profiles at five different profiling sites. These five sites are ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google Scholar Citations, ResearcherID and ORCID. The data set is enriched by demographic information including age, gender, position and affiliation, which are provided by the national CRIS-system in Norway. We find that approximately 37% of researchers at the University of Bergen have at least one profile, the prevalence being highest (> 40%) for members at the Faculty of Psychology and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Across all disciplines, ResearchGate is the most widely used platform. However, within Faculty of Humanities, Academia.edu is the preferred one. Researchers are reluctant to maintain multiple profiles, and there is little overlap between different services. Age turns out to be a poor indicator for presence in the investigated profiling sites, women are underrepresented and professors together with PhD students are the most likely profile holders. We next investigated the correlation between bibliometric measures, such as publications and citations, and user activities, such as downloads and followers. We find different bibliometric indicators to correlate strongly within individual platforms and across platforms. There is however less agreement between the traditional bibliometric and social activity indicators.
