“…Del mismo modo, se optó por evaluar los índices de impacto SJR y SNIP, dado que, por un lado, permiten hacer evaluaciones anuales del curso de la revista, así como también hacer comparaciones de la revista con otras de la misma categoría o bien de otras áreas, a diferencia del FI o el índice de Hirsch, error que tradicionalmente han realizado estudios bibliométricos al momento de hacer este tipo de comparaciones (Belter, 2015). En el caso del índice SJR, se utilizó el basado en tres años, debido a que es el indicador más flexible que se utiliza para evaluar el posicionamiento de la revista en el catálogo Scopus.…”

El objetivo del presente estudio fue realizar un análisis bibliométrico de Psykhe (1992de Psykhe ( -2016, considerando algunos elementos históricos que contextualizan su trayectoria, para describir sus principales características y evaluar su evolución cronológica. Para ello se construyó una base de datos con la totalidad de publicaciones de la revista (25 volúmenes y 48 números), con una muestra total de 531 artículos científicos. Se aplicaron indicadores bibliométricos, tales como los índices de productividad (Lotka), de colaboración (Subramanyam y Lawani), de temáticas y metodologías utilizadas, así como indicadores de impacto que permiten realizar comparaciones con otras revistas de referencia en la región. Los resultados evidencian que la primera autoría de los artículos correspondió a una mayor proporción de mujeres. Se vislumbra una clara tendencia al alza del número de artículos a mediados de los años 2000, el área temática con mayor número de artículos es psicología educacional y los índices de colaboración han mejorado sustancialmente hacia la actualidad. El análisis permite visualizar algunas de las fortalezas y desafíos de Psykhe. Sería interesante en futuros estudios realizar comparaciones con otras revistas de similares características. Palabras clave: bibliometría, indicadores, productividad científica, revista, psicologíaThe aim of this study was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of Psykhe , taking into consideration some historical elements that contextualize the history of the publication, to describe its main characteristics and evaluate its chronological evolution. In order to do this, a database of the entire journal (25 volumes and 48 issues) was constructed with a total sample of 531 scientific articles. Bibliometric indicators were applied, covering productivity (Lotka), collaboration (Subramanyam and Lawani), subject matters and methodologies indexes, as well as impact indicators, all of which made it possible to compare Psykhe with other reference journals in the region. Results show that most first authors were women. There is a clear upward trend in the number of articles published at the mid2000s, the subject area with the most articles published is educational psychology, and collaboration rates have improved substantially up to now. The analysis conducted sheds light on some of Psykhe's strengths and challenges. It would be interesting to perform comparisons with other journals of similar characteristics in future studies.Keywords: bibliometrics, indicators, scientific productivity, journal, psychology Las revistas científicas nacen del interés y necesidad de comunicar los resultados de investigación y generar espacios de discusión entre académicos. No obstante, hoy las revistas se han convertido en el principal y más confiable canal de comunicación de la investigación, por cuanto las mismas suponen una evaluación rigurosa y exhaustiva de los contenidos por parte de la comunidad científica. Adicionalmente, estas experimentan como nunca antes procesos de transformación, tanto en ...

Background: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease with high incidence in over 128 countries. WHO estimates 500,000 people with severe dengue are hospitalized annually and 2.5% of those affected die. Indonesia is a hyperendemic country for dengue with an increasing number of cases in the last decade. Unfortunately, the trends of Indonesian dengue research are relatively unknown. Objective: This research aimed to depict bibliographic trends and knowledge structure of dengue publications in Indonesia relative to that of South-east Asia (SEA) from 2007 to 2016. Methods: Bibliographic data were collected from PubMed filtered by Indonesia country affiliation. The annual growth rate of publication was measured and compared with neighborhood countries in the SEA region. Network analysis was used to visualize emerging research issues. Results: About 1,625 dengue-related documents originated from SEA region, of which Indonesia contributed 5.90%. The publication growth rate in Indonesia, however, is the highest in ASEAN region (28.87%). Total citations for documents published from Indonesia was 980, with an average of 14 citations per publication and h-index of 16. Within the first five years, the main research topics were related to insect vector and diagnostic method. While insect vector remained dominant in the last five years, other topics such as disease outbreak, dengue virus, and dengue vaccine started emerging. Conclusion: In the last 10 years, dengue publications’ growth from Indonesia in international journals improved significantly, despite less number of publications compared to other SEA countries. Efforts should be made to improve the quantity and quality of publications from Indonesia. The research topics related to dengue in Indonesia are in line with studies in SEA. Stakeholders and policy makers are encouraged to develop a roadmap for dengue research in the future.
