7Metodology

Literature review (monographs, journals and conference proceedings). Analysis of the current landscape of scientific publication Definition of a set of indicators for the assessment of scientific

monographs. Development of a prototype for automated analysis procedures and

assessment to apply them in different contexts. Study of the possibilities of inclusion of the prototype in any of the

current tools. Or design a new tool or an executable app

9Results to date and discussion

A system of quality assessment for monographs (>30 indicators) A broader view of the world of publishing:

necessary to study of the surrounding scientific monographs before tackling the development of a model

variety of agents involved = various approaches & consensus self-publishing influence Little static environment = limit is necessary The time is now
