Análisis bibliométrico de las revistas españolas de educación incluidas en el Journal Citation Report. Producción científica y elementos controvertidos

Abstract

This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the Spanish journals of education included in 2010 in Journal Citation Report. These journals are Revista Española de Pedagogía, Infancia y Aprendizaje, Teoría de la Educación. Revista Interuniversitaria, Revista de Psicodidáctica and Comunicar: Revista Científica de Comunicación y Educación. Our research focuses on two fundamental elements: first, general data given by the studied journals; second, controversial elements where more arguments arise between experts in scientific journals: the level of inbreeding, the research financing and the degree of internationalization of each journal. Finally, it presents some reflections which can illuminate the current situation of some of the most relevant journals of education in Spain.
