Realidad de la Revista Chilena de Radiología 2010-2014

Abstract

The purpose of this article is an editorial review of the Chilean Journal of Radiology in the period 2010 to 2014, for which the publication rates, rejections, source/origin of articles and types of work and research were analyzed. During this period 162 papers were published, of which 138 corresponded to original articles (30%), revision (25%) or clinical cases (30%), while the rejection rate was 25%. It's necessary to consider that the rejection or acceptance does not always correspond to the value of the information in the manuscript, as there are many and various factors that determine the decision to accept or reject a work. It was also observed that most of the topics refer to gastrointestinal pathology, showing that there is a deficit of studies about radiological techniques and interventional radiology. As to the sources, it was found that 23% come from abroad and 77% are national articles. Within the latter, 92% are from Santiago and only 8% are from regions. There were 1,875 citations given during the period, which corresponded mainly to North American magazines. The citations received in the period were 138, published in 60 journals, mainly from Chile (43%) and Cuba (24%). The impact factor calculated by Scientific Electronic Library On Line (SciELO) in 2014 was 0,083, with four citations received during the last year from 48 articles published between 2012 and 2013. It was also found that during the period under review the most widely read magazine article, which is index-linked in SciELO since 2002, has over 220,000 viewings. At present, the Chilean Journal of Radiology is the sixth most downloaded scientific publication, exceeding 4 million requests for articles, through the SciELO electronic library, which thus makes it the best presentation card for the Chilean Radiology Society. It must be noted that this publication is also index-linked in the Revista

“…The severity was determined by the plants with signs of disease in each plot, considering the degree of the affected region on the leaf, with 1 (0%) as the level of severity in which there is no visual presence of WB on the leaf lamina up to 9 (100%) as the maximum level of disease incidence ( Figure 9 A [ 11 ]). The severity was measured during the period of mid-pod filling (individual seeds visible in the first pods, BBCH 79, between 60–65 DAP, Figure 9 D(a)), when WB is most rapidly spread [ 83 ] ( Figure 9 D(a)) and during which the deterioration caused by the pathogen at the physiological level can be evaluated. For this purpose, 9 leaves with visual presence of WB (one for each severity scale score from 1 to 9) were selected per plant in each plot (n = 9 plants per plot) ( Figure 9 A).…”
