MORALES FERNANDEZ, Tania et al. Scientific production of EDUMECENTRO magazine and its visibility through Google Scholar. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.4, pp. 162-179. ISSN 2077-2874.
Background: bibliometric studies are important sources for the advancement of scientific journals. Objective: to describe the scientific production of the EDUMECENTRO journal in the period 2009-2016, through different bibliometric indicators. Methods: a bibliometric, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study of the EDUMECENTRO journal of Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences was carried out from 2009 to 2016. Theoretical, empirical, as well as mathematical and statistical methods were applied. As a source of information, articles published and information obtained through the Google Academic search engine were used. In addition, different bibliometric indicators were used: productivity by authors, articles produced/cited, productivity by years, among others. Results: all published articles were included in the study (484). The years of greatest publication were 2014 and 2016. The highest citation was obtained in 2013 and 2014. The percentage of editorial endogamy was 64 %. We found 234 transient authors, so that this index was 48,3 %. The maximum number of citations received per author was 62. The H index of the most productive authors was identified. The greatest contribution of articles was from the university itself. 70 % of the published articles are original. Conclusions: this study allowed us to describe the scientific production of the EDUMECENTRO journal within the context of the health sciences, where the progression of citation indexes and the high prevalence of published original articles stand out as positive aspects.
