Visualizing the Quality of Scientific Production
Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology 10(12): 1435-1440, 2015 DOI: 10.19026/rjaset.10.1845 ISSN: 2040-7459; e-ISSN: 2040-7467 © 2015 Maxwell Scientific Publication Corp. Submitted: April 17, 2015 Accepted: May 10, 2015 Published: August 25, 2015 Research Article Sweet Spots for Manuscripts: Visualizing the Quality of Scientific Production 1Patricio Ramírez-Correa, 2Jorge Alfaro-Pérez, 3F. Javier Rondan-Cataluña and 3Jorge Arenas-Gaitán 1Escuela de Ciencias Empresariales, 2Escuela de Ingeniería, Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile 3Departamento de Administración de Empresas y Marketing, Universidad de Sevilla, España Abstract: This study presents a visual approach to analyze scientific activity in indexed journals based on bibliometric indicators. The result of this analysis approach supports the process of choosing a journal to submit a manuscript, especially in knowledge domains where the author, whether novice or not, has failed to follow in detail the evolution of the domain. Moreover, the same approach can be used to an overall assessment of the production of researchers, research groups, institutions and countries. The conceptual foundations of the approach are volume and citation indicators of scientific journals articles. In particular, the proposed approach is based on SCImago Journal Rank index, the h-index and the annual number of articles published. The above indicators are transformed into percentiles and then displayed on a graph, integrating in this diagram the set of articles to be analyzed. The analysis approach was implemented in Sweet Spots for Manuscripts, online software based on open source components. As an example of its potential, an analysis of the 2014 research activity of the institutions belonging to the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities is presented. -

Business Incubation in Chile Is Still in Its Nascent Stages, with Approximately 20-25 Incubators Supported Primarily by a Coalition of Government and Universities
Working Paper 2009-WP-02 April 2009 Business Incubator Financing and Financial Services in Chile Aruna Chandra and Magda Narczewska Abstract: Business incubation in Chile is still in its nascent stages, with approximately 20-25 incubators supported primarily by a coalition of government and universities. Chilean business incubators tend to capitalize on regional resource strengths and have a strategic focus on high growth, high innovation, high impact businesses as a result of a government mandate to focus on developing business with high potential for economic development and job creation. The government’s efforts to organize risk capital for early stage ventures to fill market capital market gaps and its support for angel networks as well as incubator funding are noteworthy. This paper provides an overview of the business incubation landscape in Chile, with special emphasis on incubator sponsorship and funding, services (both tangible and intangible) provided by incubators to their client firms, and the associated roles of government, academia and industry/incubator networks in fostering the growth of new ventures by creating a fertile environment for entrepreneurship. About the Authors: Aruna Chandra, Associate Professor of Management in the College of Business, Indiana State University, received her Ph.D. in Strategy and International Business from Kent State University in 2000. Her book, Business India: Finding Opportunities in this Big Emerging Market, was published in 2002 by Paramount Market Publishing. Her current research interests include knowledge management in entrepreneurial firms and approaches to business incubation in different countries. Dr. Chandra has conducted grant-funded research on business incubation in China, and also in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, interviewing business incubators to understand the various approaches to incubation in the South American context. -

Tel: 96-363-7412. E-mail: [email protected] Received: July 6, 2018 Accepted: August 12, 2018 Online Published: November 27, 2018 doi:10.5539/ies.v11n12p140 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v11n12p140 Abstract The aim of this study is to assess the web accessibility concerning the websites of Chilean universities which are listed in The World University Rankings. Web accessibility is a fundamental factor in achieving a true educational inclusion. It is especially important in the light of the current trend of expanding not only the online content, but also online learning. What makes this even more essential is the Chilean legislation which under Law 20422 establishes the regulations regarding equality of opportunity and social inclusion of people with disabilities. The analysis has been conducted on the basis of the international standard set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), version WCAG 2.0. Evaluation methodology called WCAG-EM created by the same entity, has been applied in the analysis. Various automatic web accessibility evaluation tools have also been used, apart from manual verifications. -

Humboldt State University Preliminary Tsunami Survey Team Report April 3, 2010
Humboldt State University Preliminary Tsunami Survey Team Report April 3, 2010 An interdisciplinary team (see appendix for team members) with expertise in tsunami hazard assessment, mitigation, education, and outreach visited Chile from March 26 to April 3, 2010. The team focused on identifying the factors that effected the impacts of the February 27, 2010 M 8.8 earthquake and ensuing tsunami. Most ITST groups have specific goals – modelers need good runup and water level measurements, coastal engineers examine the performance and effects of coastal structures and so forth. Because our group was looking to identify the many threads that influenced outcome, we used intensive interviews with a broad section of people including public officials, radio station personnel, community organizers, business people, and the general public to learn about pre-event planning, response, and recovery issues. Our general approach was to emphasize that we were looking for the positive stories that could be used as examples for other countries. We used the USGS Surviving a Tsunami (Spanish version) as an example. We found people, even the mayor of Constitución, very willing to talk to us. Often our subjects were relatively reserved at the beginning but after 20 or 30 minutes became very open and discussed the problems as well as the successes. We usually ended our interviews by asking what should be done to assist in reducing vulnerability in the future. Our interview method was not statistically significant, but identified a broad range of issues that future groups and Chilean researchers can examine in more detail. Our group was also interested in identifying lessons for the United States and, in particular, the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest.
