Among the scientific methodologies used to measure the Science, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) is considered a very useful means to assess the quality of the networks established by the Science. The SNA offers the possibility of simulating the relationships established by different factors, such as the scientific collaboration, the analysis of subjects, or the relationships of scientific journals. The Arts & Humanities Citation Reports (A&HCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) databases of the Web of Science (WoS) have been selected as sources of information. From these databases, we analyze the behavior presented by the 550 journals classified in the different thematic categories of literature. It is proven that the current interdisciplinarity in literature results from collaboration with 11 other scientific branches, among which linguistics and history stand out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The disparity of areas being part of Legal Psychology requires a specialized training. By offering an array of masters and degrees and the university’s endorsement, postgraduate training enables quality training in this area. Currently there are 4 official masters and 11 master programs across the Spanish universities that cover most areas of intervention of legal and forensic psychologists. While official masters have a similar number of credits, covering a mandatory attendance and a practice period, master programs vary from 60 to 80 credits, with few options and a mix of regular attendance and distance learning or a totally distance training, while practices are usually voluntary. It can be concluded that postgraduate training offered by universities and associated institutes allows legal and forensic psychologists to meet their professional demands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study used journals in the Development Psychology category of the WoS service and Scopus database to investigate whether there is an association between developmental psychology and health. We analysed 291 journals in the Developmental Psychology category of the JCR (SSCI) and the SJCR. In total, 21.7% of the WoS Developmental Psychology journals and 16.1% of the Scopus journals are also classified in health-related areas such as Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis Psychology, Pediatrics, and Rehabilitation. The Clinical Psychology category has the highest representation, with 20.3% of journals in the JCR (SSCI) and 10.1% of journals in the SJCR. The results suggest that there is an association between developmental psychology (normative and non-normative) and the field of health. This association should to be taken into consideration when planning the health pathway of psychology degrees that qualify individuals to access Masters degrees in General Health Psychology.

The scientific publications are one of the basic dimensions of the evaluation of the quality of research of teaching and research personnel in Spain. The most used criterion for the evaluation is the publication of papers in journals included in the Web of Science (WoS) or Scopus databases. The objective of this work is to know that psychology journals, which publish works of legal psychology, are currently included in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, offer an analysis and comparison of the quality indicators of the journals in these databases, in order that researchers working in this discipline know the status of publications in their field of knowledge and provide them with the best choice to publish.

The main objective of this study is to figure out the volume and evolution of the Spanish scientific production in Psychology based in the data provided by the databases Web of Science (Thomson Renters) and Scopus (Elsevier) during the years 2000-2009. It is proposed to determine which are the scientific journals used by most Spanish psychologists to spread their research at an international level; and to compare the coverage and overlap of the journals and documents that are present in both databases. Quantitative data is offered, as well as the possible correlation between both databases is studied and the overlap of documents and journals is analyzed, such as the increase model that is present and the dispersion of the articles, among others. The results demonstrate that both information systems are complementary but not exclusive, as well as the relevance and importance of the Spanish journals in Psychology which use the diffusion of the re search in this discipline in the international science context.

The aim of this study was to determine author productivity and scientific collaboration in the Journal Ansiedad y Estrés during the period 1994-2011 using social network analysis methodologies. Social network analysis is a tool increasingly used to understand the relationships between the different elements that comprise a bibliographic scientific work. In this paper researchers' collaboration patterns have been studied and networks of coauthorship and collaboration have been built to identify the different research groups. Results show an increase in the number of works published by women throughout the period studied. The information collected was analyzed using Pajek and Ucinet programs and network graphics were designed with Netdraw graphics software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the history and evolution of the bibliographic database "Bibliografía Histórica sobre la Ciencia y la Técnica en España," which collects works on the history of science and technology by Spanish authors. The author notes the database's use of both international and local publications, which allows for a greater breadth of accessible information. The transition to the Internet and the improvement of the design and search function of the database are also explored.

The article examines difficulties in extracting and validating bibliographical references on modern history in the Spanish ModernitasCitas modern history database, as well as in creating citation indexes of Spanish modern history journals from this database. The article maintains that its findings apply not only to research in the field of modern history, but to research in the humanities in general as well.
