Resumen El presente estudio caracterizó la producción de la revista Diversitas: perspectivas en psicología, lo cual resulta pertinente por cuanto se convierte en un elemento de direccionamiento estratégico y un recurso de información para los índices de citación en los cuales la revista busca ingresar. La metodología correspondió primero, a un análisis bibliométrico de 11 años de la revista y segundo, descriptivo longitudinal y retrospectivo para 12 años un período entre el 2005 y el 2016. El procesamiento de la información se llevó a cabo por medio de una base de datos en Excel y el análisis a través del SPAD. Todos los artículos de la revista (284) corresponden a la población objeto de estudio desde su inicio hasta nuestros días. Se Identificaron variables como autores, redes de colaboración, áreas y tendencias temáticas, países, instituciones, usos de la revista (descargas por países y citas recibidas); y esto permitió mapear la publicación y proyectar las acciones necesarias para mejorar la visibilidad, la cobertura y la calidad de la revista.

Abstract This work describes the production of Diversitas: Perspectives in Psychology in order to provide tools for strategic planning and an information resource for citation analyses. We performed a bibliometric analysis of eleven years of material, and a descriptive longitudinal retrospective design for 12 years from 2005 and 2016. Information was poured into an Excel database and analyzed with SPAD. The population was 284 articles, and the extracted data were, among others, authors, collaboration networks, areas, topics, countries, institutions, downloads and citations. This led to a complete publication map and to the formulation of actions geared towards increasing visibility, coverage and quality.

Impacts of the Journal Evaluation Program of the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) on the Quality of the Member Journals

BACKGROUND: In 1997 the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) instituted a program to evaluate member journals. Journals that passed the initial evaluation were indexed in the KoreaMed. Here, we report changes in measures of quality of the KAMJE member journals during the last 20 years. METHODS: Quality measures used in the study comprised 3 assessment categories; self-assessment by journal editors, assessment of the journals by KAMJE reviewers, and by Korean health science librarians. Each used detailed criteria to score the journals on a scale of 0 to 5 or 6 in multiple dimensions. We compared scores at baseline evaluation and those after 7 years for 129 journals and compared improvements in journals indexed vs. not-indexed by the Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded; SCIE). RESULTS: Among 251 KAMJE member journals at the end of 2015, 227 passed evaluation criteria and 129 (56%) had both baseline and 7-year follow-up assessment data. The journals showed improvement overall (increase in median [interquartile range; IQR] score from baseline, 0.47 [0.64]; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.44–0.61; P < 0.001) and within each category (median [IQR] increase by editor's assessment, 0.17 [0.83]; 95% CI, 0.04–0.26; P = 0.007; by reviewer's, 0.45 [1.00]; 95% CI, 0.29–0.57; P < 0.001; by librarian's, 1.75 [1.08]; 95% CI, 1.77–2.18, P < 0.001). Before the foundation of KAMJE in 1996, there were only 5 Korean medical journals indexed in the MEDLINE and none in SCIE, but 24 journals in the MEDLINE and 34 journals in SCIE were indexed by 2016. CONCLUSION: The KAMJE journal evaluation program successfully contributes improving the quality of the member journals.

¿Estar indizados o no? Esa es la cuestión / To Be Indexed or not to Be Indexed? at is the Question

El Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Colciencias, de Colombia, lanzó la más reciente convocatoria del Índice Bibliográfico Nacional Publindex para evaluar las revistas científicas arbitradas correspondientes a 2016. En esta oportunidad se utilizó una modificación de la anterior metodología que mantuvo la clasificación (A1, A2, B y C) y los criterios internacionales, aunque aumentó la exigencia en algunos ítems. Incluyó también una valoración predeterminante para inclusión de las revistas en los sistemas de información bibliográfica: el escalafón en otros sistemas.
