Abstract:
Scientific quality of journals of psychology published in Spain. The aim of
this study is focused on the current topic about the scientific quality of
journals of psychology published in Spain. Alcain's work (Alcain y Roman,
2005), whose aims were to analyze Spanish journals of Psychology in order
to determine their scientific quality and to obtain the great quality
journals' impact factor indexes, is analyzed in detail and comment. The
commentaries are ordered in three structured blocks: a) Methodological
comments about sample selection and Alcain's results; b) Journals'
assessment procedures; and c) Alcain's results limitations and
considerations. It is considered that of Alcain's work results are
inappropriate to determine either quality or impact of Spanish journals.
