Garfield, director of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), published during the eighties in the Current Contents publication.

The aim of this article is to reflect on Sheffield Hallam University's experience of implementing quality assurance systems at programme level, and to offer some features of good practice and areas of challenge. This is intended to be of practical value to colleagues in the Catalan universities in their quality assurance journey.
Mark Wainman - Head of Academic Standards & Quality Enhancement, Sheffield Hallam University, England - Ten years of the Butlletí
First of all, I offer my sincere congratulations to AQU, and especially to the editors of the Butlletí, for their perseverence and enthusiasm over ten years, and above all I'd like to congratulate them on the quality of the publication. Ten years is a considerable period of time in the world of university quality assurance, especially when only a few pioneering countries in Europe have been involved in this field for all this time. A look at the Butlletí's development offers us an overview of the various stages in quality assurance in Catalan universities.
