Evaluation and Accreditation

  • ANECA Call for applications for six-year research periods CNEAI
    The National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (CNEAI) evaluates the research activity of university professors and scientific staff of public research institutions of the General State Administration, so that they may be granted a productivity bonus (six-year research period). For the evaluation of tenured lecturers, universities with a current agreement with ANECA-CNEAI may submit applications for the evaluation of research periods for their tenured lecturers and temporary lecturers.
  • ANECA - Teacher Evaluation - PEP 
    The Teacher Evaluation Program for recruitment (PEP) evaluates the teaching and research activities, and the academic training of applicants for access to the figures of contracted university professor (contracted doctor professor, assistant doctor professor and private university professor) established in the LOMLOU.
  • ANECA - Teacher Accreditation - ACADEMY
    The ACADEMIA Program, through its Accreditation Committees, carries out the curriculum evaluation process for obtaining accreditation for access to the university teaching positions of Tenured University Professor and Full University Professor. This includes the procedure for exemption from the requirement of belonging to the Corps of Tenured University Professors referred to in Article 60.1 of Organic Law 6/2001, of December 21.

Administrative processes require a series of administrative procedures:

CERTIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS:

  • PEP Program (ANECA): Copies of publications and conference presentations do not need to be certified, but all other official documents proving merit must be certified.

Citations received by a work can be found in the following resources. Sometimes it is recommended to combine searches in several of them to determine the true impact of the publications.

The lack of standardization of researchers' names and their centers in scientific publications and in the main bibliographic databases is a well-known fact, which reduces the visibility of authors and their centers at the national and international level and makes it difficult to retrieve publications and the citations they receive.

This manual contains a series of recommendations to help researchers choose their signature and that of their workplace, leading to greater standardization.

Regarding institutional signatures, the lack of standardization of researchers' names and their centers in scientific publications and in the main bibliographic databases is a well-known fact, which reduces the visibility of authors and their centers at the national and international level and makes it difficult to retrieve publications and the citations they receive.

In the case of UCAM, the following format should be followed:

  • Chair or Central Unit (if applicable) – Department – ​​Faculty – UCAM Catholic University of Murcia – Spain
  • In the case of any university institution (Institute, Center, etc.) affiliated with UCAM, the format should be: Institution – UCAM Catholic University of Murcia – Spain

The Catholic University of San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM) believes that the recognition and evaluation of the research activity of its tenured teaching and research staff should be carried out using procedures and criteria comparable to those used for evaluating the research activity of its tenured teaching and research staff. To this end, a collaboration agreement has been established with the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (CNEAI), and, starting with the next public call for applications, the research record of UCAM's tenured faculty will be evaluated by its Advisory Committees.

Prior to this public call for applications (open annually in December), and in order to ensure the success of the requested evaluations, our University is launching this separate call to pre-select the applications of professors who meet the necessary requirements to obtain positive evaluations from the CNEAI.

The purpose of this call for applications is to facilitate and ensure the appropriate participation of our faculty in the evaluation and recognition process for their research activity, which will be carried out by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (CNEAI), as stipulated in the Order of December 2, 1994 (Annex I). Similarly, a pre-selection will be made of UCAM faculty members with a realistic chance of achieving a positive evaluation for at least one period of research activity.
