Abstract:
Spanish scientific journals on geology were analysed, none of them covered
as a source by the Science Citation Index (SCI). We searched the SCI,
through the Web-of-Science, for citations received by articles published in
these journals in 1995 and 1996. The term-impact of journals has, been
calculated, within two-and three-year citation windows. The effect of
including citations from the domestic journals was considered, and a sample
of 189 Spanish geologists was surveyed about the journals they consider of
highest quality. A notable correspondence among experts' assessment and
citation analysis has been found. Results here reported, together with those
obtained in previous studies, provide data for improving knowledge about the
quality of Spanish geology journals.
