A search of these journals is carried out in 16 directories, databases and indexers to verify their visibility. Within the results, 62 digital journals are framed and barely 32 use the Opern Journal S ystem, only 4 journa ls are found in 10 of the 16 platforms evaluated, none have open access policies and only one journal has a Hindex greater than 6. comparison with Costa Rican journals, where the average number of citations in Panamanian journals is only 0.38 citations per publicatio n, whichindicates that there is little visibility, little reach, which is reflected in the little or no impact of the publications.
