Abstract:
This paper introduces a number of reflection on the role to be performed in present time by university lecturers. In principle, it is supposed that this activity should be related with three pillars: teaching, research, and technology transfer. Nevertheless, following the analysis of the current legislation, it is made obvious that the legislation gives the researching task a predominant weight. This decision has necessarily a negative impact on the time devoted to the other two university tasks. It is also made evident that only that activity will be valued that achieves as a result the publication of a paper in a journal included in the Journal Citation Report. This fact suggests that the aim of the work and efforts of university lecturers in Spain is to improve the position of the Spanish Universities in the so-called Shanghai ranking.
