  • Mapping Excellence in National Research Systems: the Case of Italy1
    MAPPING EXCELLENCE IN NATIONAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS: THE CASE OF ITALY1 GIOVANNI ABRAMO Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” – Italy and Italian Research Council CIRIACO ANDREA D’ANGELO, FLAVIA DI COSTA Laboratory for Studies of Research and Technology Transfer, Dept of Management, School of Engineering, University of Rome “Tor Vergata” - Italy The study of the concept of “scientific excellence” and the methods for its measurement and evaluation is taking on increasing importance in the development of research policies in many nations. However, scientific excellence results as difficult to define in both conceptual and operational terms, because of its multi-dimensional and highly complex character. The literature on the theme is limited to few studies of an almost pioneering character. This work intends to contribute to the state of the art by exploring a bibliometric methodology which is effective, simple and inexpensive, and which further identifies “excellent” centers of research by beginning from excellence of the individual researchers affiliated with such centers. The study concentrates on the specific case of public research organizations in Italy, analyzing 109 scientific categories of research in the so called “hard” sciences and identifying 157 centers of excellence operating in 60 of these categories. The findings from this first application of the methodology should be considered exploratory and indicative. With a longer period of observation and the addition of further measurements, making the methodology more robust, it can be extended and adapted to a variety of national and supranational contexts, aiding with policy decisions at various levels.

That has been an opportunity to talk about: • first experiences with Primo in Italy (in local mode or as SaaS) • implementation experiences of MetaLIB+ • experiences using USTAT • In addition Liliana Morotti, General Manager of Ex Libris Italy, presented the Alma Early Adopters Program for the Italian context. In February 2013, on the occasion of the visit to Italy by Matti Shem Tov, we convened an Assembly of ITALE representatives in Rome: to the President of Ex Libris was presented the current economic situation and the organization of Italian universities. In the years 2009-2012 the Italian universities have dealt with changes in the law (eg new Statutes), organizational and functional changes; they have adopted new evaluation practices and experimented with new ways of negotiation and acquisition of resources at national level (eg.
