International positioning of the spanish psychology journals

Abstract

We present the results of the analysis of the dissemination and circulation of the number of Spanish journals in different national and in-ternational databases. This is a study of the journals that contain the main bibliographic databases until the year 2017. The increase of the presence of Spanish psychology journals in the different databases is an indicator that determines the growth and maturity of this discipline and provides an in-teresting view of the scientific activity in psychology and its situation in the international context. It shows that state policies and positioning cam-paigns of universities, associations and schools play a key role in the inter-nationalization and positioning.
