CV SUMMARY

 

All my curriculum is developed around two axes, namely purely methodological research, within the area of Methodology of Behavioral Sciences, and methodological contributions in applied research in various substantive areas of the Social and Health Sciences.

 

The lines of investigation of strictly methodological character have developed under the protection of 13 projects of investigation granted to our research team during the last 30 years, 6 of them belonging to the National Plan I + D + I (each of them in a period of 3 years, except one of 4 years), and 7 granted by the University of Oviedo (each of them in a period of 1 year). In the last 10 years I have participated in 3 Research Projects I + D + I, and I have been IP of the last two.

 

In a general way, I have worked on the following topics:

- Univariate and multivariate repeated measures designs with autocorrelated errors.

- Robusts procedures to analyze repeated measures designs in different adverse situations, that is, absence of sphericity, normality and homogeneity, covered both the General Linear Model and the Mixed Linear Model.

- Robusts procedures for randomized designs with uncorrelated groups in absence of normality and homogeneity.

- Hierarchical designs and Multilevel Models both marginal and conditional.

- Loss of sample size (missing and dropout) and simulation study using imputation of data procedures and parameter estimation.

- Experimental and quasi-experimental designs.

- Analysis of the quality of research.

 

In a more particular way, the research I have carried out in the methodological field covers three main aspects. One involves simulation research to study the behavior of data analysis procedures under adverse conditions. Another has been and is, dedicated to the development of the method, with very relevant contributions, to mention only three of them, to the development of robust procedures in the face of the heterogeneity of the variances in transversal and longitudinal, univariate and multivariate designs, to the development of procedures for the calculation of the sample size under adverse conditions loss of data, and in the development of the procedure of multiple imputation in multivariate conditions when, in addition to the loss of data, one works with heterogeneity of the variances . And a third way is dedicated to the care of the method to guarantee excellence in research and the quality of inferences. In all these investigations, results of enormous utility have been obtained for applied researchers.

 

In the last 10 years, since 2012 included, I have participated in 15 (14 in WoS) purely methodological investigations, all of them have been published in national and international scientific journals of extraordinary quality with an impact factor in JCR (WoS), 9 of them in Q1, 4 in Q2 and 1 in Q3

 

The contributions of methodological nature in applied research, primarily in the area of Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology and Educational Psychology have been of relevant importance.

 

In these investigations I have dealt with, and I'm responsible, for all aspects related to the planning of of them since its origin (research design and careful data collection), and the statistical analysis of the data.

 

In the last 10 years, since 2012 included, I have participated in 18 publications (17 in WoS) of purely substantive research, some of them related to basic research, most of them applied research. All of them, except one, have been published in national and international scientific journals of extraordinary quality with an impact factor in JCR (WoS), 6 of them in Q1, 8 in Q2, 1 in Q3 and 2 in Q4.

 

Both methodological research and applied research have been exposed at numerous national as international congresses. Only in the last 10 years have I made 74 contributions to congresses.

 

I have co-directed 4 Doctoral Theses, all of them with a grade of Outstanding Cum Laude, and a fifth thesis is nearing completion. I have carried out the external evaluation of a doctoral thesis defended outside of Spain, and I have carried out the review of 35 scientific articles for journals indexed in JCR (WoS) and SCOPUS.

 

In 2020 I obtained the fourth six-year period of research “sexenio”, and I reached an H index of 13

 

In the same way, both methodological and substantive investigations have been published in national and international journals of extraordinary quality, some of which are highlighted in the following point.
