Abstract Peer review is not only a quality screening mechanism for scholarly journals. It also connects authors and referees either directly or indirectly. This means that their positions in the network structure of the community could influence the process, while peer review could in turn influence subsequent networking and collaboration. This paper aims to map these complex network implications by looking at 2232 author/referee couples in an interdisciplinary journal that uses double blind peer review. By reconstructing temporal co-authorship networks, we found that referees tended to recommend more positively submissions by authors who were within three steps in their collaboration netwo…

Proposal for the Reengineering of Processes in the Management of Information and Communication Technology

2019

This article describes the strategies implemented in the improvement of the processes in the management of information and communication technology (ICT) on the “Universidad Nacional de Loja” carried out by the “Unidad de Telecomunicaciones e Informacion” (UTI). First, the analysis of the processes carried out in the management of ICT is narrated. Subsequently, the experiences and best practices of information technology management implemented are described, considering the processes recommended by the Technology Infrastructure Library of Information (ITIL v3). Finally, the results obtained from the process of reengineering in ICT management carried out by the UTI are shown, using free soft…

Strategising IT service management through ITIL implementation: model and empirical test

2015

Research on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) lacks appropriate theories and models that capture the distinct characteristics and implications of the ITIL implementation practice. The purpose of this study is to close this gap. Based on a literature review, we develop and empirically validate a theoretical model: the ITIL Implementation Project Model. The model includes significant antecedents, which provide a foundation upon which an effective ITIL implementation project can be built, as well as the pertinent effects of implementing ITIL. The results contribute to the current research stream on the strategising of IT service management as well as to an improved under…

Políticas públicas de lectura e investigación. El diseño del Plan Valenciano de Lectura

2017

Para determinar con exactitud qué acciones deben ser consideradas prioritarias en el diseño de las políticas públicas de lectura es necesario contar, en primer lugar, con equipos de investigación que aporten datos concretos que aseguren su éxito; en segundo lugar, con metodologías para su diseño, seguimiento y evaluación; en tercer lugar, con protocolos para su mejora y, finalmente, con indicadores para la medición de los objetivos y los resultados. Este artículo resume y reflexiona sobre los retos que enfrentan las políticas de lectura a partir de la revisión de las principales investigaciones e informes institucionales sobre el tema y describe el proceso de trabajo, las metodologías utili…

ERP lifecycle: When to retire your ERP system?

2011

Published version of a chapter in the book: Enterprise information systems, vol 219, part 3, 168-177. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-24358-5_17 A lot of research has been undertaken focusing on ERP systems lifecycles, but very little paid attention to retirement. ERP retirement means the replacement of an ERP with another. The aim of this research paper is to investigate why and when should organizations retire their ERP systems. A convenience case study of an SME has been selected from Egypt. The case study under investigation has retired their local ERP system and replaced it with SAP ERP. Results of our analysis indicated that reasons of retirem…

ERP Lifecycle

2000

A lot of research has been undertaken focusing on ERP systems lifecycles, but very little paid attention to retirement. ERP retirement means the replacement of an ERP with another. The aim of this research paper is to investigate why and when should organizations retire their ERP systems. A convenience case study of a SME has been selected from Egypt. The case study under investigation has retired their local ERP system and replaced it with SAP ERP. Results of the analysis indicate that reasons of retirement were: wrong selection, users were not involved in the selection process, and lack of an official implementation methodology. This is considered a new finding since main stream literatur…

Putting documents into their work context in document analysis

2000

In trying to achieve document standardization the goal is to find more effective, consistent, and standardized ways to utilize information technology. The specification and implementation of document standards may take several years requiring a profound analysis and understanding of document management practices. Document standardization does not concern documents only: it concerns workers, their work, business partners, and future systems as well. In this paper we discuss two ways of describing the work context of documents: process modelling and life cycle modelling. In process modelling, documents are regarded as resources produced and used in inter- or intra-organizational business proc…

L'écriture des documents numériques : vers une cyber-rhétorique

2008

Laboratoire GRESEC - axe CRISTAL ICM, Université Stendhal Grenoble III; National audience; Cet ouvrage traite de la conception de documents numériques utilisés en contexte professionnel et étudie en particulier les deux thèmes suivants : le découpage de l'information pour la mise en écran, les organisateurs de structure, de navigation et de mise en relief de l'information. L'influence sur la lecture des dispositifs de mise en forme matérielle et des organisateurs de structure et de navigation est souvent méconnue. Aussi les méthodes destinées à tester le rôle des dispositifs de mise en forme revêtent-elles une importance capitale et sont présentées à la fin de cet ouvrage. Les spécificités …
