Abstract 

We present a new tool, Kampal (http://kampal.unizar.es), developed to help to analyze the academic productivity of a research institution from the point of view of Complex Networks. We will focus on two main aspects: paper production and funding by research grants. Thus, we define a network of researchers and define suitable ways of describing their interaction, either by co-publication, project-collaboration, or a combination

of both. From the corresponding complex networks, we extract maps which encode in graphical terms the relevant information and numerical parameters which encode the topological properties of the network. Thousands of these maps have been created and allow us to study the similarities and differences of the co-publications and the projectcollaboration networks.

(本文提到了一个新工具：Kampal,从复杂网络的视角研究了机构的学术产出。本文概念聚焦两个方面：论文产出和资助。本文定义j 一个研究者网络，并从论文合作、项目合作或者两者整合三个角度定义了研究者之间的交互。从复杂网络中，研究者抽取了由上关信息组成的子图和反映网络属性的参数。研究生成了几千张图，它们为研究论文合作网络的项目合作网络的相似性和差异性提供了方便。)
