The Research is one of the main issues in Ingenium Group. The publications show the productivity, and they are employed to protect the intellectual property of the research work done. This report shows and analyses the publications in 2020 and over the last years. Ingenium has published 48 manuscripts in 2020, see Figure 1. 

Figure 1. Total publications per category in 2020.

The 23 research papers published in journals in 2020, present an increment regarding to the 14 papers of 2019 (see Figure 2). 

Figure 2. Total publications per category in 2020 and 2019.

19 papers published in Journals are catalogued into the Journal Citation Report (JCR)[1]. It is a remarkable increment this year, since in 2019 were 8. In 2020, 6 manuscripts were published in Q1, 3 in Q2 and 8 in Q3, Figure 3, being the maximum number of research papers published ever (see Figures 6&7).

Figure 3. Publications according on the Qi classification.

6 manuscripts were published in other journals, 1 in Information, 3 in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 1 in Ingeniería del Mantenimiento and 1 in AEND. It can be concluded that quality of the journals where the papers have been accepted has increased according to previous years, and also the number of research papers have raised, specially Q1, being 5 where the maximum was in 2019 with 5.

The number of research papers published in journals is estimated to be increased in 2021. It is important to have in mind that the Qi has been estimated considered the impact factor of the journals in 2019, but the manuscripts have been published in 2020.

7  international books have been published in 2020, in the main editorials in the worldwide as Elsevier, Springer, Intech and MDPI. This number will be maintained in 2021, also considering editorials as Springer, Intech and MPDI. 18 International chapter books have also been published (Figure 4).  The maximum production over the time was also 15 chapters books in 2015.

Ingenium has presented the main advances in the most relevant International conferences, e.g., “14th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management”, “Developments in Renewable Energies Offshore”, “XXIV Congreso de Ingeniería de Organización”, … publishing 4 manuscripts that has been considered in journal papers and 3 in chapter books. The research and development activities have been done accomplished through more-effective products, processes or business models that are readily available to markets, governments and society. The innovation activities of Ingenium have produced 1 patent, that are being evaluated by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.

 The evolution of Ingenium Research Group in the year 2020 has provided 18 new articles, including 14 chapters, 6 books and 9 journals. The increment in the number of articles in every Qi, mainly in Q3, is fundamental to ensure the divulgation of the research and obtain new synergies for future projects. 

Ingenium has published a total of 329 manuscripts, see Figure 5.

Ingenium has showed the main scientific advances in the most important conferences, e.g., IEEE, IFORS, ICMSEM, CM, RENEW, AREMA,
APMOD, E2KM, CIO, ECMS, ICAM, ICISM, RCM, SAFEPROCESS, WCCM, ICREPQ, …, presenting 95 conference papers.

The research group has been published 29 books in the most important editorials, Elsevier, Springer, Pearson, Mc-GrawHill, IGI, Intech, MDPI, Nova Science, AlfaOmega, Marcombo, ProQuest, Academia Española, UCLM, etc. Ingenium has also published 77 international chapter books in these editorials.

The innovation tasks and activities developed in Ingenium together with the industry have produced 5 patents, 1 International and 4 Nationals, and 1 is under revision.

Figure 6 shows the publication productions over the time. The trend production has been generally rising from 2002 to date. The peaks are produced by the delay of the editorials to publish the research works, e.g., research papers written in 2020 will be published in 2021. The maximum number of total publications has been done in 2020, and together with the maximum number of chapter books and journal papers, including manuscripts published in JCR journals. 

Figure 5. Publications (total)

The main interest has been focused on journal research papers, where 120 journal papers have been published, being 70 in JCR journals (Q1 – 35; Q2 – 16; Q3 – 18; Q4: 1). Figure 7 shows the journal papers over the time, where the research papers are being published in the most important journals, e.g.:

Figure 6. Publications over the time

It has been also published 49 journal papers that are not considered in JCR, most of them from International Conferences (see Figure 7). These manuscripts are mainly due to the research papers published in International Conferences.

Citations generated according to Scopus, Figure 8, have been increasing from 2002 to date. The citations in 2020 are subjected to some updates from Scopus, being estimated, considering the citations updates from previous years, around 30, i.e., more than 630 in 2020. To increase the number of citations, i.e., the impact factor of the research work, will be the main issue to cover in the strategy of Ingenium in 2021.
