    • Abstract:
      The studies and analysis of Spanish scientific activity usually are more focused on contributions in journals with impact factor than on patents as a relevant indicator of the scientific work. This reality contrasts with the trends of the specialized literature, which show patents to be one of the most important parameters to measure scientific productivity. Therefore, we conducted a case study on the patents registered by Spanish Universities in 2008, using as our source the European Patents Fulltext database. Analysis of the distribution of patents by university in this specific period of time revealed a certain correlation with other commonly used indicators. This finding can be a basis for suggesting that patents can and should be considered when conducting such studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Los estudios de la actividad científica española discriminan habitualmente las patentes como indicador relevante, centrándose más en las publicaciones en revistas recogidas en los índices de impacto. Esta realidad contrasta con las tesis de la literatura especializada, que muestra a las patentes como uno de los indicadores de mayor importancia para medir la productividad científica. Se ha realizado un caso de estudio sobre las patentes registradas por las universidades españolas durante 2008, tomando como fuente la base de datos European Patents Fulltext, analizando su distribución por instituciones universitarias en este período de tiempo. Se observa una cierta correlación con otros indicadores, dato que puede servir de base para plantear que las patentes pueden y deben ser consideradas en la realización de este tipo de análisis.
