Índice de Productividad Investigativa — Fórmula
## Research Productivity Index
This composite index combines three dimensions of research output into a single score for self-assessment and goal setting.
### Formula
**Index = (Pubs/Year x 10) + (Citations/Year x 0.5) + (Active Grants x 15)**
The weights approximate relative effort: publications represent direct output, citations indicate reach, and grants reflect funding competitiveness.
This is a self-benchmarking tool. Compare your score across years to track growth, not across fields where norms differ.

Ejemplo Resuelto
Over 3 years: 8 publications, 120 citations, 2 active grants.
- Pubs per year: 8 / 3 = 2.67
- Citations per year: 120 / 3 = 40.0
- Index = 2.67 x 10 + 40.0 x 0.5 + 2 x 15 = 26.7 + 20.0 + 30.0 = 76.7
- Citations per publication: 120 / 8 = 15.0
