The document "TA Observatory 2020", presents the study on the situation of Technical Architecture[1] at the level of scientific production, Universities, researchers and professionals, offering a vision, both of the institutions and of the authors, regarding various parameters and indices, and a chronological analysis of the evolution suffered over time.
In this work, 51 Universities have been analyzed, 961 TAs with scientific production and the University Libraries and University Institutional Repositories that had documents have been included. In addition, both the CSIC, Dialnet and REBIUN have offered their collaboration and help for the doubts raised.
In total, 2,421 documents have been analysed.
These are the conclusions.
about the observat orio
What is an observatory?
It is a way of visualizing the research work that has been carried out on the scientific production of Technical Architects. For this, both data from Authors and Universities are presented.
What documents have been incorporated?
Within the wide technical-scientific production that has been found, the one that had external quality indicators that were recognized as accepted by the different evaluation agencies has been extracted.
That does not mean that there is much more interesting documentation to view. But at this stage we have stuck to these.
Which databases have been analysed?
For all types of documents, the repositories of the Universities were initially searched.
For articles, papers, patents and monographs in the Web Of Science, SCOPUS, ResearchGate, Google Academic and CSIC repository databases
Patents, in addition to the above sources of information, in the Registry of Patents and Trademarks
Doctoral theses in TESEO, Dialnet, REBIUN and University Repositories
How have the Technical Architects * been identified ?
The collaboration of Universities, Schools, Professional Associations and the researchers themselves has been very important in this work. . Without your enthusiastic help it would have been impossible.
* AT: Technical Architects, Building Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Degree in Technical Architecture, Degree in Building Science and Technology, etc.
