This book provides research and curriculum managers with a novel methodology for information analysis and strategic use in order to promote research with high quality standards for institutions, centers, and groups dedicated to research. Thus, the first chapter discusses the conceptual framework of three cross-cutting research areas-Law, culture, and society; Sustainable human development; and Management and technology at the service of society-that articulate research lines from both social and human sciences, economics and administration, engineering, architecture and design, and basic sciences, whose main purpose is to foment and disseminate research, development, and innovation projects in thematic areas that are relevant to their disciplines. To the effect, the chapter presents a Statistical Analysis of Textual Data (SATD) of 33 protocols from these research lines. The second chapter illustrates the application of a strategic planning methodologywith a mixed design-for the planning, direction, organization, and monitoring of research. This book is an important reference point for the orientation of research processes and their effective integration with curriculum.
