Some basic elements of theoretical character that are useful to understand, above all, from the psychological point of view, the expert’s evaluations, which are one of the most used forms to select serials in the setting of medical libraries, are approached. The cognitive and affective processes, as well as those of the activity are studied aimed at explaining their influence on the results of the evaluations given by the specialists in a specific area of knowledge and the ways to reduce the negative effects produced by the defects inherent to the own psychological processes intervening in the activity of evaluation.
