Evolución de las revistas colombianas de medicina general en el Scimago Journal Rank 2016 - 2020

The uneasiness of Colombian dental journals in the face of the imminent indexing model.

“…In conclusion, it is truly difficult for a Colombian dental journal to be indexed in the new Publindex model, if it is approved as it is. As recommended in a previous work, it is urgent that these journals begin the process of indexing in Scopus or WoS in order to return massively to the national journal ecosystem, 5 because for these the aphorism that Minciencias applies is "Scopus, WoS or perish. "…”

“…4 However, it is not clear how the Scopus H5 and CS of journals not included in this database will be computed, unlike the H5 of GS, which is obtained through Publish or Perish. 5 Another doubt is whether the reproducibility of the MCI can be guaranteed by any researcher, for purposes of transparency or claims.…”

“…The main reason for exclusion was the low impact (in terms of GS H5) and, secondly, for being in a very competitive subject area, in which journals of medicine, nursing or biomedical sciences are present. 5 The rest of the journals do not seem to have a chance because none of them is in Scopus or WoS and they have an H5 below the threshold for category C (H5 = 10) of call 910 of 2021 .5 Moreover, as the threshold tends to increase over the years, perhaps not even that journal will be indexed. Moreover, as the threshold tends to increase over the years, perhaps not even that journal will be indexed, even more so if one takes into account that the weighting of H5 of GS is half that given to CS and H5 of Scopus in the MCI.…”
