INFORMACIÓN BIBLIOMÉTRICA EN EL MÓVIL: DESCRIPCIÓN Y CARACTERÍSTICAS DE LA APP UGRINVESTIGA.

It is quite common in the library and information world to find mobile applications (apps) to query scientific journals, bibliographic databases or university libraries. However, there are no apps that offer bibliometric indicators about universities, researchers, etc. We describe the development and functionality of the pioneer bibliometric app UGRinvestiga, launched on January 2015, which offers rankings of researchers from the University of Granada based on citations collected from Google Scholar Profiles. Information on the technical features of the app, the data collection process, the indicators used, the current coverage of researchers and a description of its interface and functionalities are described. Finally we emphasize the great potential of mobile applications as a tool for representing and disseminating bibliometric data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
