La creación de sistemas integradores de productos de investigación, como el Researcher ID de Thomson Reuters, ha sido una necesidad emergente debido a lo complejo que es para los investigadores demostrar de manera periódica el impacto y difusión de su investigación. Sin embargo, estos sistemas se alimentan de información proveniente de las diversas bases de datos y cada vez son más inclusivos para captar productos de investigación.
Varios estudios bibliométricos han demostrado que las bases de datos contienen imprecisiones de varios tipos, que afectan directamente a los sistemas integradores. Como consecuencia, se plantea este estudio descriptivo con el fin de analizar la precisión de los registros del Researcher ID de los miembros del consejo de www.psy-wos.es y de una muestra de usuarios de esta página para cotejar los registros con los contenidos en la base de datos Web of Science, diferenciándolos de contenidos ajenos a esta base de datos. Los resultados reflejan que existen imprecisiones y errores considerables en los Researcher ID de la muestra analizada, tales como duplicidad de registros y la inclusión de registros ajenos a la Web of Science. Se concluye que los Resercher ID así como el www.psy-wos.es no son válidos ni fiables.
The creation of research output integrator systems, such as Thomson Reuters Researcher ID, has been an emerging need because of the complexity it has been for researchers to periodically demonstrate the impact and / or quality of their research. However, these systems are fed with information provided by different databases and are becoming more inclusive to gain more information related to research outputs. Several studies have demonstrated of the various types of inaccuracies in bibliometric databases that directly affects the integrator systems. As a consequence, we propose a descriptive study in order to analyze the accuracy of Researcher ID and www.psy-wos.es board member records and a sample of users of this website and collate the records contained in the web of Science database differentiating data content outside this database. The results show that there are significant inaccuracies and errors in the sample´s Resercher ID such as record duplication and non-Web of Science records. The conclusion is that Researcher ID nor www.psy-wos.es are valid and reliable.
