Science and Chemical Technology - Special prizes

Criteria and weighting
The academic committee has created a list of weighted criteria to prioritise the applications
received. Applications must be accompanied by a curriculum vitae that describes the candidate's
merits in relation to these criteria and by the corresponding accrediting documentation.
The criteria for prioritising the applications will be based on the tangible results obtained during the
doctoral degree, which will be reflected by publication in indexed journals, papers given by the
applicant to conferences or international scientific meetings, periods spent with international
research groups, European or international distinctions, grants obtained through competitive
competitions and other merits.
1. Publications in journals (50%)
o Bibliometric data will be used to take into account the number of publications and
quality of the journals:
 publications in the first decile, 50 points is the candidate is the first author.
 publications in the first quartile, 30 points if the candidate is the first author.
 publications in the second quartile, 10 points if the candidate is the first
author.
o If the candidate is the second author, 60% of the previously specified points will be
awarded. If the candidate is the third or subsequent author, a maximum of 25% of
the previously specified points will be awarded.
The maximum points for this item will be assigned to the candidate who obtains the
highest score on the scale. The scores for the other candidates will be adjusted
accordingly.
2. Papers given at international conferences (10%)
3. Periods spent in international research groups (20%)
o Only periods of 3 months or more will be counted.
4. Competitive grants (10%)
5. European or international distinctions (5%)
6. Other merits [5%)
o Among others, unindexed publications and book contributions will be considered.

Required complementary documentation
The documentation must be submitted to the secretary's office of the Department of Physical and
Inorganic Chemistry or the Department of Analytical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry and must
include the application form signed and registered, accompanied by the candidate's curriculum
vitae in the format specified in the annex. Candidates may include copies of documents accrediting
the merits indicated in their curriculum vitaes that have not been issued by the URV or that are not
accessible through the bibliographic databases. Examples of such documents are: book chapters,
articles in unindexed journals, certificates of study visits no linked to an international distinction
regarding the qualification, etc.
