Pablo Dorta González

Pablo Dorta González is a Full Professor at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. He is affiliated with the Bayesian Statistical and Decision-Making Techniques in Economics and Business research group. His current teaching responsibilities include courses on Business Mathematics and Quantitative Methods for undergraduate students, as well as a Research Training Program for doctoral candidates.

His research focuses on two primary areas: 1) Mathematical Methods in Economics, particularly facility location analysis, and 2) Quantitative Studies of Science, emphasizing bibliometric indicators for research evaluation. He has authored/co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed articles and books, including influential works on open access citation advantages, citation normalization, and policy research impact assessment.

Key contributions include developing topic-normalized impact factors and analyzing the societal impact of research through Altmetric and Overton metrics. His work frequently examines open access modalities, collaboration effects, and funding influences on research impact.

He has participated in numerous research projects funded by national and regional agencies, including studies on student evaluation competencies and digital literacy. Notable grants include projects on citation concentration modeling (2024) and SDG-funded research impact (2023).

His lab focuses on interdisciplinary applications of Bayesian techniques and has collaborated with institutions across Europe and Latin America. Recent work explores AI adoption barriers in academia and the differential societal attention given to researchers based on gender and field.
