We are visible and we have impact. Open access data analysis, almetrics and others of the Revista interamericana de bibliotecología

Abstract

This is a study based on the OJS of the Inter-American Science Journal -(in Spanish, RIB), interrelated with other sources of information (E-LIS, Google Scholar, RedAlyc, SciELO, Web of Science-SciELO Citation Index and Scopus). This study allowed the identification of the visibility and the international and national impact the journal has had based on these sources and on an analysis of biblio-metric data and altmetrics, generally speaking. At the same time, a new indicator proposal (D/T Metrics) is implemented and proposes the possibility for journals of similar realities and contexts to use the methodology that this study completed, to be able to identify the journals visibility and impact and make decisions regarding quality processes and editorial management as well as scientific marketing.
