Of the total number of articles indexed in 2023, 297 (98%) are available for open access. They are distributed as follows: 

Under the gold route we find 136 articles that have been published in open access magazines. Under the greenway we find 77 articles that have been deposited in UPCommons and that they will be available in open access respecting the conditions of the journals (version of the article and appropriate embargo period). In addition, there are 84 articles published openly in hybrid journals.

The increase in open access articles from hybrid journals continues, going from 42 to 84 articles in two years, as a result of the consolidation of the transformative agreements signed by the UPC with some scientific publishers.

Interactive map of the authors' production of the Terrassa Campus of the UPC and his co-authors.

• Each node is dedicated to an author who has published on the subject discussed in this survey. The edges indicate the number of documents co-authored by the aforementioned authors. The blue nodes identify the authors linked to the Terrassa Campus.
• This map includes researchers who have written at least one post.
• Due to the fact that documents with more than 50 authors make it impossible to create the next interactive map, these articles have been removed to draw the graph.
• Once the map is opened, consult the instructions for use to make the most of the possibilities it offers.

Altmetrics have very often been presented as alternative metrics to those traditionally used, such as the journal impact factor and personal citation indices such as the h-index. The altmetrics of an article go beyond its number of citations, they cover other aspects of its impact, such as the number of databases and knowledge bases that refer to it, its views, its downloads, or its mentions in social media and news media.

To make this report we used the Altmetric Attention Score (Altmetric.com). It is a composite indicator (weighted average of heterogeneous measures and sources) that wants to measure the attention received on the Internet and is used both for UPCommons as for FUTUR.

Of the 303 indexed articles, these are the 12 articles with a “Altmetric” value higher than 10 on 28.03.2025:

>Methodological note

This report has been prepared based on the publications included in the Web of Science database.

This resource collects the articles of researchers of the Campus of Terrassa of the UPC that meet the following conditions:
- Have been published during the year 2023.
- The authors sign as researchers from the Terrassa Campus of the UPC or one of their schools.
- Belong to a journal indexed in the JCR (Journal Citation Reports) in the 2024 edition.

The results obtained have been treated with a reference manager (Zotero) for the presentation of the bibliography.

The different reports presented in this resource have been generated from the application of the options "Analyze Results" and "Create Citation Report" to the results obtained.

For each Campus author, a link has been added to the researcher's file FUTUR: Portal of the Scientific Production of the researchers of the UPC. For each article, a link to the DOI of the publication has been added, whenever possible.

The lack of an article in this collection can be caused by one of these causes:

• Articles that have not been incorporated into the Web of Science (ISI) database.
• Articles in which the mention of the Terrassa Campus does not appear in the signature of the authors.
• Errors in indexing in the database.

If you have any fault or failure, you can contact biblioteca.campus.terrassa@upc.edu
