Quality recognition

These forty monographs meet the nine requirements of the monographs that request it: quality and transparency of information (identification of the monograph, electronic availability and inclusion of metadata), quality of the editorial policy (availability of scientific or editorial committee and editorial policy of the publishing entity) and quality of the editorial process and scientific evaluation (instructions for the presentation of manuscripts, information on the manuscript selection process, external evaluation reports and reasoned communication of the resolution of the publication of the work).

Final resolutions

Following the reports issued by the evaluation committees of the four areas of knowledge, the monitoring committee was responsible for adopting the final resolutions. Its members were Susana Quicios, director of the ANECA Teaching Staff Evaluation Division; Anabel Bonilla, responsible for ANECA's recognition and seal processes; Cristina González, director of Scientific Information at FECYT; María Ángeles Coslado, responsible for the FECYT seal journal evaluation process; María Isabel Cabrera, president of UNE; Ana Isabel González, UNE Quality Advisor; and Joaquín Corbacho, administrator of the CEA-APQ Seal.

Research merits

The CEA-APQ Seal, created and developed by UNE and endorsed by ANECA and FECYT, has been recognised, since its creation in 2017, as an indication of the quality of publications in the evaluation of research activity, a recognition carried out by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (CNEAI), and in the evaluation criteria for the research merits claimed for the different teaching staff accreditation figures carried out by ANECA (See BOE of December 19, 2024).
