A Bibliometric History of the Journal of Psychology Between 1936 and 2015

Abstract

The Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied is a leading international journal in psychology dating back to 1935. This study examines its publications since its creation utilizing a bibliometric analysis. The primary objective is to provide a complete overview of the key factors affecting the journal. This analysis includes such key issues as the publication and citation structure of the journal, its most cited articles, and the leading authors, institutions, and countries referenced in the journal. The work uses the Scopus database to classify the bibliographic material. Additionally, the analysis provides a graphical mapping of the bibliographic data by using visualization of similarities viewer software. This software uses several bibliometric techniques including co-citation, bibliographic coupling and co-occurrence of keywords. The Journal of Psychology is strongly connected to most of the current leading journals in psychology, and currently has a 5-year impact factor of 1.77 (Thomson Reuters, 2015 Journal Citation Reports).

25 años de Suma Psicológica. Un análisis bibliométrico

“…En esa línea, se identifican diversas investigaciones bibliométricas que abordaron distintos aspectos. Se puede clasificar un primer grupo de estudios que analizaron las publicaciones de las revistas científicas de habla inglesa, tal es el caso del Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (Allik, 2012), Journal of Environmental Psychology (Milfont & Page, 2013), Psychological Science (González-Álvarez & Palomar-García, 2014), Journal of Applied Psychology (Kozlowski, Chen & Salas, 2017) y el Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied (Tur-Porcar, Mas-Tur, Merigó, Roig-Tierno & Watt, 2018).…”

Ten years of Energy Efficiency: a bibliometric analysis

“…In order to analyse the bibliographic material of documents published in Energy Efficiency, the paper adopts a bibliometric methodology (Merigó and Yang, 2017) In order to measure and analyse the information (Ding et al 2014), the work exploits several bibliometric indicators (Tur-Porcar et al 2018) including the total number of publications and citations, the h-index (Alonso et al 2009;Hirsch, 2005), the cites per paper and citation thresholds (Merigó et al 2017). The choice for multiple indicators is, on the one hand, due to a lack of consensus on the optimal indicator for measuring academic research; on the other hand, as multiple indicators may offer a more comprehensive and multifaceted measurement of the journal performance.…”

Un Análisis Sociobibliométrico de la Revista Profesional Clínica y Salud

“…El uso de indicadores bibliométricos que evalúan los contenidos de las revistas presenta múltiples ventajas por ser un método objetivo y verificable (Velasco, Eiros, Pinilla y San Román, 2012), aunque rodeado de una fuerte controversia (Hicks, Wouters, Waltman, de Rijcke y Rafols, 2015). Por ello no debe extrañar que sea abundante la producción historiográfica sobre revistas relacionadas con el ámbito de la psicología española e iberoamericana (Arbinaga, Aragón y Tejedor, 2010;Galindo y Arbinaga, 2018;González-Alcaide et al, 2010;Granados, Ariza, Gómez-García y Ramiro, 2011;Liberatore y Visca, 2014;Morgado-Gallardo et al, 2018;Osca-Lluch, 2012;Polanco, Sueli y Klappenbach, 2017;Quevedo y López-López, 2010;Ravelo, Mejia y González, 2016;Salas et al, 2017Salas et al, , 2018Tur-Porcar, Mas, Merigó, Roig y Watt, 2018;Vázquez, Velando y Bernal, 2017;Zych y Quevedo, 2011).…”
