A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
In the uploaded document, could be find 2 pages.
The first one (Sustainability researchers) shows 26 articles were the bold authors are professors from the Environmental Engineering Program. This is a list of the research realized during year 2023 in which was included at least one researcher from the Environmental Enginerring Program from the university.
Since it is focused on the environmental program, all the subjects are directly identified in sustainability research.
In the second page, (Researchers) are listed 117 profiles of professors conducting research in the university, but only 80 were reappointed as associate researchers during year 2023.
In the research web page of the university could be found the process for reviewing and validating the rearch inventory:
