摘要:In recent years, bibliometric indicators have been firmly established as a tool for research management and decision-making in the context of scientific policy. Spanish universities represent one sector that has seen signifi cant growth in the use of indicators. These institutions now find themselves in an ever more competitive environment and therefore have a greater need to have knowledge of the performance of their researchers. Against this background, this paper presents a proposal for the creation of Bibliometric Units in Spanish universities and attempts specifically to illustrate both the model and functions of these units based on three pillars: control of information sources related to research, preparing reports, and advice/training. In addition to the theoretical proposal we present different examples from the universities of Navarra and Granada. The text concludes that such units could represent an important opportunity for jobs in the fi eld of Information Science.
