Popis: Research quality is commonly evaluated by the quantity of papers published in high impact factor-indexed journals. In fact, many of these journals and conference articles show partial or final results of research projects done individually or together with other research centers, universities, and companies. However, the visibility and impact on society of these projects, even with the existence of specific websites, funding, and publicizing requirements, are generally low. This study takes the example of the ReViBE project, in which the Research Group on Project Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia takes part, by presenting how the use of three tools designed to generate ideas, such as surveys, brainstorming, and teamstorming, serves at the same time to give support to research and as a loudspeaker to enhance the visibility of the project. The study compares the quality and quantity of data collected or generated by each tool and methodology and evaluates its capacity for dissemination.
