Calidad editorial y científica en las revistas de educación. endencias y oportunidades en el contexto 2.0

Abstract

Scientific journals have undergone a significant revolution in the last decade in the pursuit of achieving the highest possible level of international exposure and influence. This process is clearly determined by the changes and opportunities derived from the new context offered by Science 2.0 and Open Access. This paper analyses the need for a more comprehensive and broad assessment of impact that are provided by the published rankings by the big publishers based exclusively on citations (JCR and SJR). An evident clash of trends takes place within such context of 2.0 Tools in which the possibilities of bibliometric search and analysis, with its countless means and applications, multiply exponentially in the digital environment. This article shows the great differences of opportunities between the scientific education journals of Iberian and Anglo-Saxon contexts, an inequality that could be reduced if other metrics are introduced to measure the impact factor of a publication.
