Abstract
The monitoring and evaluation of the scientific production of a nation is key to consolidating its I+D+i objectives. Honduras has not had a database on the national ecosystem of researchers, which limits such consolidation. This work continues one of the first efforts aimed at building a national ranking of researchers according to the H index, which Google Scholar assigns to each registered profile. A data analysis tool was designed with Microsoft Power BI. The process was carried out in three stages: Collection and purification of data from Google Scholar, creation of the integrated data model and design of the visual structure in Power BI style. The dynamic board can be seen at the link and makes visible the scientific production of 300 researchers in more than fifteen national institutions. In the following phases of the project, more researchers will be included, as the ranking and its inclusion requirements are announced.
