The importance of publishing in journals that are not yet indexed in Scopus, PubMed or WOS

Abstract

Journals indexed in SCOPUS, PUBMED or WOS have had supremacy since long ago. Publishing in them has a sudden importance and with brush strokes of immortality. Not doing it in them sounds like mediocrity. However, no one is born knowing and today there are many other journals indexed to other search engines or not inconsiderable Internet media and that over time will amaze us like a third world war that has already begun. The impact indices will be attributed to "new" journals, which have had high visibility over the years, through -for example- the internet.
