Scientific productivity
Scientific productivity
“ identifies our University as the one with the highest normalized impact of publications in Latin America”
Scientific productivity The report “Principales indicadores bibliométricos de la actividad científica chilena 2010” prepared by Conicyt-SCImago in 2012
Higgs particle discovery, 8 Chilean scientists among the authors, 5 from our group
47 ISI 2009 197 ISI 2013.
2010 and 2011 Best Paper Award for the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics:
Book: “Power Conversion and Control of Wind Energy Systems”July 2011.
Scientific productivity
Academia Chilena de Ciencias, 2005 report:
“A singular case is UTFSM, which with only 8,7% of the active physicists contributes with around 20% of the country physics publications. A more detailed analysis shows that the Particle Physics group of this Institution is the one that contributes the most to this singularity.”
