In this study, we carried a classification by country based on the analysis
of the scientific production of psychology journals. We analyzed a total of
108,741 documents, published in the Web of Science. The indicators used
were the Weighted Impact Factor, the Relative Impact Factor, the Citation
Rate per article and the articles published in the top five journals of the Journal
Citation Report (JCR). The results indicate that Spain has the highest
percentage of articles in the top five journals in the JCR and Colombia is the
second Latin American, Spanish-speaking country that has more citations
per article. Countries like Hungary, Italy and USA, had a higher Impact
Factor and Citation Rate.
