Abstract:
Scientific production of professors of Psychology at Spanish Universities
in journals included in Web of Sciences database. The present study
analyzes the scientific production of Spanish Psychology throughout records
of articles in journals included in Web of Science database of University
Professors (Catedraticos de Universidad -CU- and Profesores Titulares de
Universidad -PTU-) from the different academic areas of Psychology in
Spain. A descriptive study of document analysis was carried out, and used
as units of analysis: records of articles in the Web of Science database,
CU and PTU, Psychology's academic areas in Spain, and the public Spanish
universities in which a Psychology Bachelor is offered. The results show
that: the professors with the higher production, who represent 5% overall,
contribute with 30% out of the total of articles found; differences in the
production, depending on the academic areas, are found, in this way while
Psychobiology has an average of 15,73 articles per professor, Developmental
and Educational Psychology has an average of 1,5 1; weighted by professor's
number, the universities of Oviedo, Rovira i Virgili and Granada have the
superior production; the temporary evolution shows a great increase that
begins at the end of the eighties, which becomes stable since the 2000;
finally an important trend to publish in journals printed in English was
identified, nevertheless, 20% of the found records were published in
Psicothema.
