“…These rankings generally use two major methodological approaches, one based on expert judgments and one based on objective/quantitative indicators such as citations, cross citation patterns, references used, quality of authors (based on citations), or similar computations (Baumgartner & Pieters, 2003;Collazo-Reyes, Luna-Morales, Russell, & Pérez-Angón, 2008;Harzing & Val, 2009;Mingers & Harzing, 2007;Romero-Torres, Acosta-Moreno, & Tejada-Gómez, 2013). Previous studies have indicated that both types of journal assessment show high correlations (Mingers & Harzing, 2007).…”

This article presents the results of a study on the perception of quality of Latin American business journals based on the judgment of relevant experts -senior professors with knowledge of Latin American research and journals. Forty-five journals were included in the study. The highest perceived quality scores were given to Academia (CLADEA -Uniandes), RAE (Fundação Getulio Vargas), and Innovar (Universidad Nacional de Colombia). When perceived quality was weighted by awareness, Academia, LABR-Latin American Business Review (University of San Diego -Coppead), and Innovar had the highest scores. Results complement a recent study by Ruiz-Torres, Penkova, and Villafane (2012) that focused on management journals published in Spanish. Analysis of results suggests that language and branding have an effect on the perception of journal quality. Implications for editors/ publishers, tenure, promotion, research grant committees, and authors are provided.KEYWORDS | Scientifics journals, ranking, Latin America, scientific production, business research.

“…We believe that such a marked difference between citations and documents may be partially because Spanish researchers are on the periphery in relation to the critical mass of research now being carried out mainly in the U.S. and the U.K. This situation was also mentioned for Latin America and the Caribbean in a study by Collazo-Reyes et al (2008).…”

A large part of Social Sciences and the Humanities do not adapt to international proceedings used in English for scientific output on databases such as the Web of Science and Scopus. The aim of this paper is to show the different results obtained in scientific work by comparing Social Sciences researchers with those of other sciences in four Spanish universities. The first finding is that some Social Sciences researchers are somewhat internationalised. However, the majority of individuals who are prestigious in their local academic-scientific community do not even appear on the information sources mentioned above.

“…In other words, their editorial committees may favor publishing articles by authors of the same country, leading to a high level of self-citation and in the same (national) language. Indeed, the lowest impact levels are positively correlated with high percentages of self-citation and publication in the national tongue (Collazo, Luna, Russell, & Pérez, 2008;Collazo, 2014). This happens both in Thomson Reuters and in Scopus (Santa & Herrero, 2010).…”

What factors affect the visibility of Argentinean publications in humanities and social sciences in Scopus? Some evidence beyond the geographic realm of research

Argentina´s patterns of publication in the humanities and social sciences were studied for the period 2003-2012, using the Scopus database and distinguishing the geographic realm of the research. The results indicate that "topics of national scope" have grown and gained international visibility. They can be broadly characterized as having Spanish as the language of publication, and a marked preference for single authorship; in contrast, the publication of "global topics", not geographically limited, characteristically have English as the language of divulgation, and institutional collaboration is stronger and more consolidated.Citation is apparently not determined only by the geographic realm of research, but also by language of publication, co-authorship, and the profiles of the journals where published. These results could contribute to constructive reflection upon publishing policy. The existence of a community of journals that tolerates biased patterns may make researchers echo and perpetuate poor practices, constructing or adapting the channels of communication. Such results also prove useful as a point of reference when evaluation criteria are elaborated by scientific committees, as unsupervised promotion and evaluation patterns could become Pre-print of: Scientometrics, DOI 10.1007/s11192-014-1414-4 2 based on local or overly subjective precepts, disregarding the disciplinary practices of the international scientific community.
