Resumen: El objetivo del presente trabajo es profundizar en los hábitos de publicación de los miembros de los comités editoriales de las revistas iberoamericanas de psicología recogidas en la Web of Science (WoS) entre los años 2013 y 2015 a través de diferentes indicadores bibliométricos. Los resultados revelan una disparidad en la participación de los miembros del comité editorial de una revista a otra, un menor tiempo de aceptación de los artículos y un mayor número de citas, principalmente en las bases de datos Web of Science y BIOSIS, por parte de los miembros del comité editorial. Muchos de los miembros de los equipos editoriales son investigadores de reconocido prestigio en su disciplina, por lo tanto, su participación a través de la publicación de artículos en las revistas de las que forman parte es un aval de éxito para la publicación, dado el número de citas que reciben sus trabajos.Palabras clave: Revistas de psicología; Web of Science; comités editoriales; producción científica; revistas iberoamericanas.
Benefits of the relations between editorial board members and scholarly journals. The case of IberoAmerican journals of psychologyAbstract: The objective of the present work is to delve into the publication habits of members of editorial committees of Ibero-American journals of psychology, collected in the Web of Science (WoS) between the years 2013 and 2015. Different bibliometric indicators were used and the results reveal a disparity in the participation of editorial board members from one journal to another, including a shorter article acceptance time and a larger number of citations, mainly in Web of Science and BIOSIS. Many of the editorial board members are researchers of recognized prestige in their discipline; therefore, by publishing articles in the journals in which they play a role, they offer a guarantee of success, given the number of citations that their works receive.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal made his mark in the history of science as a brilliant researcher of the histology of the nervous system. His bold efforts and the international recognition he received during his lifetime played an important role in the consolidation of the Spanish Neurohistological School which is composed of a large number of eminent disciples. Amongst these, and of outstanding repute, is Rafael Lorente de Nó whose research had a significant influence on the work of Canadian psychololgist Donald O. Hebb and, consequently, on the development of neurophysiological theory. This paper analyses some of the contributions of Cajal and his disciple Lorente de Nó which formed the anatomical and neuropsychological framework of contemporary psychology.
