Abstract:
An overview of current scientific journals evaluation initiatives in Spain is presented. Most of these models are focused on social sciences and humanities journals because of their special features, and are targeted to research evaluation activities. Indicators developed in these systems are analysed, including the methodological difficulties that they entail and the relative merits of each in terms of efficiency. Moreover, the criteria used by the evaluation agencies in relation to scientific journals are examined. Finally, a model based on a diverse range of indicators on editorial quality, international visibility, peer review and impact is proposed.Document Type: Research article
