Title: Breaking the boundaries: how to use bibliometric and science mapping techniques to boost interdisciplinary and collaborative research in higher education institutions
Abstract: Building institutional and inter-institutional strategies for supporting interdisciplinary and collaborative research is crucial for boosting the production of studies which are world-leading in significance and impact. During the seminar, a new methodology based on the use of bibliometric and science mapping techniques will be presented, whose deployment has been successful in producing the interdisciplinary and collaborative research strategy for the Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance, i.e. a consortium-based strategic alliance which brings together six universities located in six different European countries. The presentation will discuss the practical feasibility, effectiveness and logistics of such a methodology by reporting on the results of this pilot study.
