Objective: To describe the scientific production, through bibliometric analysis, about asthma in Latin America. Methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study, with a quantitative bibliometric approach, to evaluate the scientific production of asthma in Latin America, using the Scopus and SciELO platforms to recover files published between 2003 and 2022. Results: A totoal of 3041 documents were obtained in Scopus and 592 in SciELO. In both repositories, the original articles (2379 and 478) and the reviews (379 and 43) were the most published documents. The largest producer was Brasil: n = 1538 in Scopus, and n = 406 in SciELO, and the journal with the highest number of publications was Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia with 169 articles in Scopus and 164 articles in SciELO. Conclusion: The bibliometric analysis shows the panorama of the last 20 years in research on asthma in Latin America, where scientific production has progressively increased, mainly in Brazil, Mexico and Chile.

This study empirically examined the promotion and implementation of open science measures among high‐performing journals of Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Spain. Journal policy related to data sharing, materials sharing, preregistration, open peer review, and consideration of preprints and replication studies was gathered from the websites of the journals. Four hundred articles were coded for the inclusion of data availability statements, conflict of interest disclosures, funding disclosures, DOI, ORCID, and continuous publishing. Analyses found a higher promotion of open science measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese counterparts, and higher promotion of open science measures among international journals than their domestic counterparts. Analyses found higher implementation of open science measures among Brazilian journals than their Portuguese and Mexican counterparts. One journal out of 40 encouraged preregistration of studies; none encouraged replication studies and none had implemented open peer review. These findings reveal reasonably strong implementation of secondary open science measures (e.g., DOI, ORCID, conflict of interest and funding source disclosure) among the sample, but weaker implementation of primary measures (e.g., open data, open materials, replication studies and open peer review). The implications of these findings are considered and suggestions are made to bolster the adoption of open science measures among Ibero‐American scientific journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La difusión del conocimiento por las revistas científicas se ha involucrado fuertemente en la era digital, pasando de formatos impresos a digitales. Esto sugiere una disminución en sus gastos de gestión específicamente de impresión, y por otra parte el surgimiento de una alta cantidad de revistas científicas a nivel global. Lo descrito anteriormente obliga a estas publicaciones a buscar estrategias que permitan destacarse en el mundo digital, para ello una estrategia interesante de aplicación es la adecuada gestión del contenido. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las cualidades del contenido publicado y compartido en Facebook por parte de las revistas científicas indexadas en Scielo Colombia, Perú y Ecuador. Para esto se utilizó la observación científica como herramienta para una investigación de tipo empírica, transversal y con alcance descriptivo y correlacional. El 67.86% de las revistas indexadas en Scielo para estos tres países no dispone de un perfil en la red social Facebook (FB). Las revistas analizadas en los tres países mayoritariamente optan por hacer sus posts en FB empleando una imagen y algún texto de acompañamiento, estos resultados no sugieren una gestión activa e innovadora por parte de las revistas científicas, gestión determinante en las actividades de la economía digital.

A Bioética vem assumindo, cada vez mais, relevância teórico-prática em nosso tempo, sobretudo,com o desafiador advento da COVID-19 para a saúde. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia na saúde mental. Por meio de uma metodologia de revisão qualitativa realizar-se-á uma avaliação Bioética do perfil dos protocolos de pesquisa relativos ao coronavírus e/ou à COVID-19 aprovados pela CONEP, bem como seu reflexo no registro de publicações na plataforma Scielo, vinculadas ou não aos protocolos de pesquisa aprovados pela CONEP, com as respectivas descrições (ou falta delas) de riscos aos participantes envolvidos na pesquisa. Além disso,será avaliada a contribuição do campo da Bioética a esse cenário de investigações. Como conclusão, observou-se que há, ainda, pouca produção de estudos empíricos envolvendo os descritores “saúde mental” e “COVID-19” e, ainda mais escassos são os estudos que incorporam a Bioética como uma das categorias analíticas, o que não condiz, entretanto, com a natureza dos dilemas morais que a sindemia da COVID-19 trouxe para profissionais de saúde.

Background:The university social responsibility (USR) goes beyond the traditional extension and solidary social projection of the universities, but the professional must improve and develop proposals in improvement of the country. The objective is to carry out a systematic review of the scientific production related to USR in Peru and to analyse the most important findings of this production. Method: A systematic review of articles in English and Spanish in Scopus, Redalyc, and SciELO was carried out, searching for research related to USR in the Peruvian context. Articles on USR in Latin America or the world were excluded. The search and filtering of articles was carried out until February 2023. Several filters were applied, starting with the search for titles according to the search equation. Then, articles that did not deal with USR were eliminated. Subsequently, abstracts were read and those that did not meet the inclusion criteria were discarded. Finally, the remaining research was analysed to obtain the necessary information for the research. Results: A total of 20 articles were analysed. The main results showed that university social responsibility in the Peruvian context seeks to benefit society and to form ethical and responsible students. However, more policies and actions are needed to encourage the participation of all universities in USR. It was found that 65% of the literature had a quantitative approach, 30% was qualitative and only 5% was mixed. Conclusion: University Social Responsibility (USR) seeks to benefit society, being students the key actors to improve their country with the professional development acquired in higher institutions. The implication for future research is to carry out more studies on USR but within the national university centres in the highlands and jungle areas of Peru, where it is possible to show the state of this topic in other areas of Peru.

Objective: Bioethics has gained increasing theoretical and practical relevance in our time, especially in light of the challenging event of COVID-19 for public health. This study aims to analyze the pandemic's impact on mental health. Through a qualitative review methodology, a bioethical evaluation of research protocols related to coronavirus and/or COVID-19 approved by CONEP will be conducted. This analysis extends to their reflection in publications registered on the Scielo platform, whether or not they are linked to the approved research protocols by CONEP, along with their respective descriptions (or lack thereof) of the risks for participants involved in the research. Furthermore, the contribution of the field of bioethics to this research scenario will be assessed. Conclusion: It is observed that there is still limited production of empirical studies involving the descriptors "mental health" and "COVID-19". Studies that incorporate bioethics as one of the analytical categories are even scarcer. This, however, does not align with the nature of the moral dilemmas that the syndemic of COVID-19 has brought to healthcare professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SciELO promotes open access and cooperative publication of scholarly journals, based mainly in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal. SciELO was created to offer solutions to increase the visibility of participating journals and facilitate free access to their full texts. This work aims to analyse the open access editorial policies implemented by the health sciences journals of the SciELO network (411 journals at the time of this study) in terms of authors' rights, copyright issues, self-archiving policies and openness. From SciELO health sciences journals network, 92% of the 411 journals use a Creative Commons licence, 89% require transfer of author copyright and 14% apply author processing charges. According to the past SHERPA/RoMEO taxonomy of self-archiving policies, 8.5% of the journals were classified as white, 81.5% blue and 10% green. The openness of journals calculated through the Open Access Spectrum approach was higher than 60% in more than 80% of the total journals. Out of the 411 journals in SciELO portals, 380 have their own website. Discrepancies were found between licences stated in SciELO compared with the ones used in their websites, mainly due to the lack of declared licences in either of the two sources or because the licences did not match. The licences used on the websites and in SciELO were also compared with their corresponding records in the Directory of Open Access Journals and Crossref, and again the differences were narrowly related to the data supplier.

El turismo de bienestar se ha convertido en los últimos años en una industria de gran desarrollo económico a nivel mundial. Actualmente, se ha incrementado el número de personas que buscan un estilo de vida saludable, propiciando el crecimiento de viajes que incluyen estas experiencias. En tal sentido, es de vital importancia conocer su evolución a partir de la literatura referente al tema. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la producción científica del turismo de bienestar durante los años 2000-2020, publicada en las bases de datos Dimensions, Science Direct y Scielo. Para ello se seleccionaron 283 artículos vinculados al turismo de bienestar. El procesamiento de la información obtenida se desarrolló utilizando los softwares Endnote X9, Bibexcel, Excel y VOSviewer. A partir de ello, se constató un creciente interés por este constructo principalmente en los últimos siete años, destacándose 2020 como el año de mayor productividad. Los artículos analizados fueron firmados por un total de 499 autores diferentes y publicados en 136 revistas. Estados Unidos fue el país más productor de acuerdo a las instituciones de los autores. Melanie Kay Smith resultó la autora líder de la investigación y la revista Tourism Management sobresale como la más productiva con 19 publicaciones. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian la importancia que ha alcanzado la temática en la literatura académica sobre el turismo, especialmente en el ámbito de la salud y los destinos turísticos; y se espera, además, un crecimiento en investigaciones futuras vinculadas al tema.

Diferentes tipos de colaboração (formal e informal) são requeridos na atividade científica das diversas disciplinas e áreas. Por meio de indicadores cientométricos, analisaram-se, de forma mais abrangente, práticas colaborativas (coautorias e subautorias) contemporâneas nas publicações de dois importantes periódicos brasileiros indexados na SciELO, um das Ciências Biológicas e outro das Ciências Humanas, ao longo do período de 2010-2019. Os dados sobre coautoria foram coletados através dos artigos assinados por mais de um autor e sobre subautoria através dos textos de agradecimentos (por apoio material e/ou intelectual) inseridos pelos autores nas publicações. O corpus é constituído por 1.100 artigos, 758 da Acta Botanica Brasilica e 342 da Revista de Sociologia e Política. Verificou-se que, o contexto de comunicação científica (nacionalidade do periódico e da base de dados indexadora) não tem influência direta nas práticas colaborativas, mas sim a orientação da pesquisa realizada em cada uma das disciplinas e áreas. Altos percentuais de coautorias e subautorias (apoio financeiro e técnico/instrumental) identificados na Acta Botanica Brasilica evidenciam a necessidade de diferentes tipos de colaboração (formal e informal) nas áreas experimentais. Os altos percentuais de agradecimentos por apoio conceitual/peer interactive communication identificados na Revista de Sociologia e Política, cujos índices de coautoria são mais baixos do que os índices de autoria única, revelam a importância da colaboração de subautoria dos colégios invisíveis. Conclui que, a inclusão de bases de dados como a SciELO em pesquisas cientométricas é relevante para mapear, desde outro ângulo e, de forma mais abrangente, tipos de colaboração (autorais e não-autorais) na ciência.

Resumen Este artículo presenta los resultados del Observatorio Latinoamericano de Indicadores de eVAluación (OLIVA), que buscar visibilizar y promover la valoración de la producción científica indexada en América Latina y el Caribe. Se aborda la producción publicada en acceso abierto e indexada en SciELO y Redalyc, a partir de la construcción de una base de datos consolidada y que incluye información de 1.720 revistas (de 15 países), 908.982 documentos y 2.591.704 autores/as. Se analiza la diversidad disciplinar de esta producción, así como las tendencias de la colaboración nacional, regional e internacional. También, sólo para el caso de Brasil y de SciELO, se analiza la colaboración intra-nacional. Los resultados arrojan un predominio de revistas diamante, de instituciones editoras universitarias y de formas de circulación multiescalar. Estos rasgos, así como la diversidad lingüística y disciplinar, pueden contribuir de modo eficaz a las necesidades de la comunicación científica en tiempos de ciencia abierta.

SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) es un modelo para la publicación de revistas científicas en Internet. Su objetivo principal es aumentar la difusión y visibilidad de la ciencia generada en Latinoamérica, el Caribe, España y Portugal. Es un modelo cooperativo descentralizado que agrupa colecciones nacionales y temáticas de revistas científicas que cumplen unos ciertos criterios de calidad. Su filosofía es facilitar el acceso universal y gratuito a las publicaciones científicas del ámbito latinoamericano y de este modo aumentar su visibilidad.

Different types of collaboration (formal e informal) are necessary in the scientific activity of different disciplines and areas. Through scientometric indicators, it broadly analyzes contemporary collaborative practices (coauthorship and sub-authorship) in publications of two important Brazilian journals indexed at SciELO, one from Biological Sciences and other from Human Sciences, during the period of 2010 to 2019. The data on co-authorship were collected from papers signed by more than one author, and the data on subauthorship were collected from publications acknowledgment texts (for material and/or intellectual support) written by the authors. The corpus is composed of 1,100 papers, 758 from Acta Botanica Brasilica and 342 from Revista de Sociologia e Política. It found out that scientific communication context (nationality of the journal and of the indexing database) does not directly influence the collaborative practices, but what does influence is the nature of the research performed in each of the disciplines and areas. High percentages of coauthorship and sub-authorship (financial and technical/instrumental support) identified in Acta Botanica Brasilica evidence the need for different types of collaboration (formal e informal) in experimental areas. The high percentage of acknowledgment for conceptual/PIC support identified in Revista de Sociologia e Política, whose co-authorship rates are lower than those of single authorship, shows the importance of authorship collaboration from invisible colleges. It concludes that the inclusion of databases such as SciELO in scientometric researches is relevant for mapping types of collaboration (authorial and nonauthorial) in science from a broadly and different perspective.

The purpose of this paper is the bibliometric analysis of the journals indexed in SciELO in the area of teaching and learning English as a second language. The journals searched were: How, Profile, and Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal. The search for information made it possible to compare different bibliometric indicators. Although it is true that the results of this research show that scientific production in the field is abundant, varied in terms of thematic lines, and collaborative, it is only reported in three journals indexed in SciELO; however, other research that reports on the scientific production on the teaching of English as a second language, all the scientific production published in journals indexed in SciELO is made invisible. Since most of the publications in the journals studied are by Latin American authors, it is evident that in other productions the region's research in the field is being ignored.

Objetive. To carry out the sustainability analysis of the Latin American initiative Redalyc.org, based on two fundamental aspects, the economic and the need for its existence. Method. the measurement of the man-hours required to publish a scientific article is carried out, using Marcalyc. 40 articles published in scientific journals from different areas of knowledge, belonging to Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela, are processed using this tool. Results. it is obtained that the markup takes on average 86.3% (SD = 4.2%) of the total processing time, distributed in almost equal parts between the content of the article (body) (average = 48.3%, SD = 9.5%) and references, notes, acknowledgement, appendix and glossary (back) (mean = 43.2%, SD = 9.3%). Conclusions. The sustainability of Redalyc's publication model is more economically guaranteed for two reasons; 1) the processing time to generate XML-JATS is much shorter than SciELO, and 2) it uses a markup tool (Marcalyc), which can be used directly by the editorial team of a journal, without the need for specialized technical knowledge. This favors the sustainability of the scientific publication model in Latin American open access and returns the control of the publication process to the editors.

En este artículo se analizan indicadores bibliométricos de las revistas indexadas en SciELO pertenecientes al área de ciencias agrícolas para el año 2019 y su relación con indicadores de desarrollo de la agricultura en la región. Los datos bibliométricos fueron obtenidos del portal oficial de SciELO y los de desarrollo de agricultura se obtuvieron del portal del Banco Mundial. Los datos fueron procesados mediante técnicas estadísticas de asociación por conglomerados para observar similitudes o diferencias entre los indicadores por país. Las relaciones entre los indicadores se establecieron mediante análisis de correlaciones canónicas y árboles de clasificación. El análisis de conglomerados mostró que los países de agrupan según los indicadores bibliométricos en cinco clústeres donde Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Colombia son independientes y Bolivia, Paraguay, Perú y Venezuela se agrupan en un solo clúster. En cuanto a los indicadores de desarrollo de agricultura, se evidencian cuatro clústeres, Bolivia y Paraguay ubicados independientes, Argentina y Venezuela en un clúster y Brasil, Chile, Colombia y Perú en otro. Se evidenció poca relación entre los indicadores bibliométricos y los de desarrollo de agricultura, con predominio de relaciones inversas moderadas con la industrialización y el valor agregado de la agricultura (%PIB). = This article analyzes bibliometric indicators of the journals indexed in SciELO belonging to the area of agricultural sciences for the year 2019 and their relationship with indicators of agricultural development in the region. The bibliometric data were obtained from the official SciELO portal and the agricultural development data were obtained from the World Bank portal. The data were processed using statistical techniques of association by clusters to observe similarities or differences between the indicators by country. The relationships between the indicators were established through analysis of canonical correlations and classification trees. The cluster analysis showed that the countries are grouped according to bibliometric indicators in five clusters where Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia are independent and Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela are grouped in a single cluster. As for agricultural development indicators, there are four clusters with Bolivia and Paraguay located independently, Argentina and Venezuela in one cluster and Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru in another cluster. There was little relationship between bibliometric indicators and agricultural development indicators, with a predominance of moderate inverse relationships with industrialization and agricultural value added (%GDP).

This paper aims to discuss the use of the term "language of science", placing scientific production in Spanish at the center of the debate in the context of Spanish-speaking countries. We seek to answer three questions that help to problematize the use of the term in question, skewed to English, showing that Spanish can also be considered a language of science. This work is located in the field of Language Policy and Planning in Science and Higher Education (Planejamento linguístico na Ciência e Educação Superior - PPLICES), in dialogue with bibliometric information obtained from the Scielo database, which has proved to be an effective tool, however not totalizing, to assess the production, use and quality of the regional scientific publication. Based on the information presented, we found that the Spanish language dominates scientific production in Spanish-speaking countries and that these, in turn, reproduce asymmetries, showing the formation of "peripheral centers" (BEIGEL, 2016) with a high index of publication.

La revista científica Gaceta Técnica considerando las recomendaciones de los distintos entes evaluadores, ha ido mejorando el proceso de publicación en pro de optimizar la calidad editorial, alcanzando así en el año 2022 un lugar en el Repositorio Multidisciplinario SciELO, el cual permite preservar y difundir a mayor escala los artículos aprobados para la publicación en Gaceta Técnica

El estudio se enfocó en realizar una caracterización de las revistas latinoamericanas indexadas en SciELO, Scopus y Web of Science en el área de Ingeniería y Tecnología y además analizar las diferencias observadas entre países a través de variables socioeconómicas. Como resultados se obtiene que el número de revistas del área temática indexadas es bajo, representando menos del 10% en las tres bases de datos. Las variables socioeconómicas mostraron relación con el número de revistas indexadas y con los indicadores de impacto de las mismas y destacó la mayor relación que mostró el gasto público en I+D de los países, lo que indica la importancia de la inversión de los gobiernos en la presencia e impacto de las revistas en las principales bases de datos regionales e internacionales.

The importance of studying scientific production in the health area is valuable, since the publication of journals in the Latin American region allows measuring and assessing the regional scientific effort, as well as identifying the most active nuclei of production. From a bibliometric, observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study, based on records from the SciELO database, period 2006 -2015, it was found that Brazil stands out as the main country in scientific production in health, with a participation of 58.55 % compared to the total, followed by Cuba and Colombia with 10.52 and 8.30 %, respectively. Likewise, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and Uruguay contribute to the production of publications in a proportion of 1.03 % and 6.09 %; meanwhile, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico have a share below 1.00 % of the total for the region. There are three countries with the highest levels of scientific production (Brazil, Cuba and Colombia) that contribute 77.57 % of the total of publications made, the rest of 17 of the 20 Latin American countries studied contribute 22.63 % of the total scientific production.

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar a la comunidad los logros y retos por venir de la Revista Alconpat en sus primeros diez años de existencia. Se realiza una narración de: cómo surgió la idea de tener una revista científico/técnica en Alconpat Internacional; cuando, como y donde se llevaron a cabo las discusiones y el proyecto; la implementación, el primer número, la puntualidad; los requisitos y retos a cumplir para las primeras indizaciones (Scielo México, Scielo WoS, Redalyc, Latindex, Google); los proyectos CONACyT que permitieron cumplir poco a poco los requisitos para eventuales aplicaciones a índices superiores (Scopus y WoS), repositorios, directorios (DOAJ) y super servidores; marcaciones electrónicas, publicación en tres idiomas (español, portugués e inglés), los tiempos administrativos para publicación puntual, etc. Al final se hace un extenso agradecimiento a todos los que han intervenido en estos 10 años iniciales.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la tendencia de las búsquedas de información sobre las colecciones bibliográficas SciELO, Redalyc y Dialnet, que se realizan a través de Google. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se observó un claro predomino en las búsquedas, en su país de origen y filiación de cada una de las colecciones: SciELO en Brasil, Redalyc en México y Dialnet en España. La colección más buscada fue SciELO en todo el periodo de tiempo analizado y si bien se constató un crecimiento en el volumen de búsqueda relativo (VBR) tanto en las búsquedas sobre Redalyc y Dialnet, no sucedió así en el de SciELO. En ninguna de ellas se pudo observar un hito claramente destacable. Solo se pudo demostrar una moderada asociación entre los VBR de SciELO y Dialnet y leve entre los Redalyc y Dialnet.

Conclusiones: las revistas de la materia de Ciencias de la Salud se orientan hacia los objetivos de SciELO Bolivia, el mismo que llegará a alcanzarse principalmente con el trabajo conjunto de autores, universidades y hospitales.

Abstract English is the lingua franca for scientific communication, but some journals, especially in developing countries, still publish non-English studies. A shift towards publishing in English may promote internationalization and more visibility of scientific journals. Here we compared quality indexes between Brazilian journals that have always published in English and journals that have published in languages other than English. We also investigated whether a temporal shift towards publishing in English led to elevated quality measures. Our analyses covered 16 Brazilian biodiversity journals and accounted for 12640 papers published since 2007. The mean impact factor was on average 55% higher in journals that have published consistently in English, compared to the so-called multilanguage journals. The proportion of publications in English increased to nearly three times the original value in multilanguage journals between 2007 and 2016, and the impact factor tripled during this period. At the same time, the Qualis-Capes classifications (B1-B2-B3) tended to fall. Publishing in English can be a first step to increased visibility, and this is particularly important for biodiversity journals, since Brazilian ecosystems are considered of interest to the international scientific community and nature conservation.

Se ha planteado el objetivo para la Revista Cartográfica de captar un mínimo de 45 artículos por año con el fin de ser considerada para ingresar en el catálogo SciELO. Para valorar lo razonable del objetivo se ha intentado por primera vez estimar el volumen de la producción científica de los países miembro del Instituto Panamericano de Geografía e Historia en el área de la Ciencia de la Información Geográfica. Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de los artículos publicados en un conjunto representativo de revistas internacionales, filtrando aquellos cuyos autores son de países de la región. Se excluyó a los EEUU en razón de su peso relativo en el área. La principal conclusión es que el objetivo de captar parte de esos trabajos y así más que duplicar el material hoy publicado en la Revista Cartográfica parece difícil de alcanzar en un corto plazo. Como alternativa será necesario interesar a autores de fuera de la región, quienes típicamente toman primero en cuenta la categorización de la revista, categorización que aún no se ha logrado, conformándose así un círculo vicioso de difícil solución. Subsidiariamente se ha realizado un análisis discriminado por países que puede ser utilizado en el futuro para identificar grupos y líneas activas de investigación en la región.

As alterações dos processos de publicação científica são emergentes para se poder cumprir com as necessidades atuais de gestão de informação, fluxos e diferentes contextos de aplicação que as revistas científicas hoje em dia têm como desafios. Pretende-se com este trabalho apresentar um projeto nacional integrador para promover boas práticas de gestão de publicações científicas, implementar serviços de apoio, formação e metodologias testadas e otimizadas para diminuir o esforço humano e aumentar os níveis de interoperabilidade entre sistemas e ferramentas. Prevê ainda a aplicação de processos inovadores ligados à Ciência Aberta.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue conocer y analizar la presencia de las revistas de ciencias de la salud, presentes en la red SciELO, en las principales bases de datos bibliográficas, con el fin de conocer sus datos de circulación y visibilidad. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se pudo concluir que las colecciones de Brasil y Colombia fueron las que presentaron mayores niveles de circulación en las bases de datos bibliográficas estudiadas y, en consecuencia, una mayor visibilidad internacional. La mayor presencia fue en las bases LILACS y Scopus que duplicaron los datos de MEDLINE, Web of Science o Embase; la presencia en CINHAL o PsycINFO fue poco más que testimonial. Las publicaciones en inglés obtuvieron mejores resultados en relación a su circulación.

The opportunities of the application of open peer review to journals are analyzed. We discuss the characteristics and types of open peer review, the pros and cons of applying this model to journals, and the opinion of the main agents in the process (authors, reviewers, and editors). Finally, some good practice experiences that serve to complement the theoretical framework are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal for Revista Cartográfica to publish a minimum of 45 articles per year has been raised in order to be considered to enter the SciELO catalog. To assess the feasibility of the objective, an estimate of the volume of scientific production of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History member countries in the area of Geographic Information Science has been attempted for the first time. A bibliometric analysis of the articles published in a representative set of international journals was performed, filtering those whose authors are from countries in the region. The US was excluded because of its high relative weight in this scientific area. The main conclusion is that the goal of capturing part of these works and thus more than duplicating the material published today in Revista Cartográfica seems difficult to achieve in the short term. It will be necessary to interest authors from outside the region, who typically first take into account the journal's categorization, a categorization that has not yet been achieved, thus forming a vicious circle of difficult solution. Subsidiarily, a country-discriminated analysis has been carried out that could be used in future works to identify active research groups and research lines in the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article traces the almost twenty years of history of the SciELO Network and the Spanish Website of SciELO España. The model was developed by the Latin American and Caribbean Center for Collaborative Health Sciences Information (Bireme/PAHO/WHO), and specially realized to respond to the needs of scientific communication in the developing countries and particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. SciELO offers visibility and universal access, contributing thus to the overcoming of the phenomenon known as ‘lost science’, and, at the same time, promoting the improvement of the quality of their magazines.

This scientometric study describes the central characteristics of the production on deliberative democracy present in highly qualified Brazilian academic journals and identifies the most relevant institutional poles, in order to outline this research field. By means of social network analysis (SNA), the study also aims at mapping relationships within the field to understand their structures and hierarchies. Our analytical corpus comprehends articles released between 2000 and 2016 in journals indexed on Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online). The main results are the quantitative growth of production over the analyzed period as well as the improvement of co-authorship pari passu that of empirical research; the geographical and institutional concentration; and, the distribution of production in different areas of knowledge, but with a preponderance of Political Science and low articulation between different disciplines.

Objective: To investigate evidence on the use of social networks to collect data in scientific productions in the health area. Material and method: An integrative literature review from primary studies indexed in the SciELO, PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, and Web of Science platforms. Results: 16 scientific articles were selected, of which nine focused on the use of WhatsApp; five, on the use of Facebook; and two, on employing Twitter to collect data in scientific productions. Growth was noted on the number of investigations associated to the use of social networks, although an important paradigm still exists related to the use to generate scientific evidence, resulting in a still low number of investigations on this theme. Conclusions: The health area needs to approach evermore the development of research associated to social networks, given that this would enable a viable and rapid intervention in obtaining responses, besides being a low cost and very promising tool for data collection.
