A CIGIP researcher among the 7 UPV researchers among the national elite
Josefa Mula, researcher at CIGIP, present in IHL ranking
Seven researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) are among the best resident scientists in Spain. This is attested by the ranking prepared by the Group for the Dissemination of Index h (DIH) from data obtained from the prestigious ISI Web of Knowledge.
They are Amparo Chiralt Boix, Mercedes Álvaro Rodríguez, Mª del Carmen Muñoz Roca, Mª Victoria Borrachero Rosado, Josefa Mula Bru, Sara Iborra Chornet and Mª Dolores Marcos Martínez.
For the elaboration of this ranking, the DIH group evaluates both the h-index of each researcher, a value that measures the scientific quality of the research personnel from the number of citations of their articles, and their h-factor, which is the quotient between the aforementioned index of each researcher and the average of all those who appear in the ranking in their area.
