There are two kinds of data: on the one hand, data of the library of the UPV that was mainly obtained from the statistical data published annually by REBIUN. On the other hand, data of research outputs of the UPV that were obtained by consulting different bibliographic databases such as SCOPUS. Several variables of each kind of data were selected and a correlation analysis was made between different variables of each group.
