The purpose of this article is to identify research trends in collaborative scientific studies on COVID-19, as well as the presence that different countries, approaches, areas of knowledge and topics have had in those contributions. For this purpose, bibliometric, social network and content analysis methods are used with a corpus of 63 documents indexed in Scopus and published between January 2020 and June 2021. It is found that the countries with the highest number of publications are the United Kingdom and the United States, followed by China and Canada. As for the journals, those in the area of medicine stand out. The results show that the Social Sciences are underrepresented in the collaborative contexts analyzed, and bibliometrics predominates as a methodological approach. Studies on collaborative practices have less presence and are mainly focused on analysis of experiences and cooperation challenges from the health areas to face the pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research investigates how evaluation processes are endogenized in the practices of university research groups. A case study is proposed in a Colombian university, through semi-structured interviews and a documentary analysis, taking as the axis of analysis the process of measuring groups that is conducted at the national level. Based on the literature on research evaluation and management, it is found that in groups and in the institution, learning emerges from the evaluation process, which is translated into differentiated research and management strategies and practices. These results contribute to the understanding of the performative dimension of research evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
