Comparison of SCImago journal rank indicator with journal impact factor

[Lic. Ricardo Arencibia Jorge]

Dear Colleagues,

I am sending the link of a paper developed by Matthew E. Falagas and his team from the Alpha Institute of Biomedical Sciences (Athens, Greece), and with the collaboration of Henry Dunant Hospital (Athens, Greece) and the Network of Scientometrics Studies for Higher Education (Havana, Cuba). Its a brief comparison of Journal Citation Report and SCImago Journal & Country Rank, and between the most important indicators both presented: the Impact Factor and the SCImago Journal Rank. These results are only the beginning of several works that I am sure will be developed in the near future in order to statistically compare both indicators.
