Teaching staff, researchers, and doctoral students are required to periodically report their academic / scientific / artistic activity. Internal periodic reports are submitted annually through the internal database:
Academic / Scientific Activity Management at UBB.
Since 2019, most internal evaluations (e.g., the periodic evaluation of teaching staff and researchers by the administration or some peer evaluations) are conducted through this database. Therefore, teaching staff, researchers, and doctoral students are asked to regularly enter all publications and recent activities that are quantified under UBB’s internal decisions or by regulations from the Ministry of Education.
If you have been recently hired, you can contact the IT department to create an account in this database:
If you have questions regarding the evaluation processes or methodology, you can contact the CEAC Committee within the Faculty of Letters or the
University Development and Quality Management Center.
In addition to these internal evaluations, the Ministry of National Education, through CNFIS
(National Council for the Financing of Higher Education),
permanently collects data on the scientific performance of academic staff / institutions.
These reports are mandatory and play an important role in determining the university / faculty budgets. If you have questions regarding institutional funding structure, please contact the Faculty of Letters’ Research Committee, the Vice-Dean for Research, or consult the basic documents regarding
institutional funding structure.
An important category of recognized publications in both internal and national evaluations includes those indexed in international databases, especially WoS, SCOPUS, and ERIH+ type articles.
The list of journals accredited in the Web of Science database can be found here:
WoS / Clarivate Analytics.
The database is accessible to UBB employees through the intranet or via the
ANELIS PLUS project (National electronic access to scientific and research literature).
