Análisis de la producción científica en Ciencias Sociales y Humanas de la Universidad de Navarra empleando diferentes rankings de revistas: In-Recs, In-Recj, Resh y JCR

A bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of the faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Navarra in journals during the period 1999-2005 have been made. We used as information source the Journal Citation Reports and different rankings of Spanish journals: Índice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales (In-Recs), Índice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Jurídicas (In-Rejs) and Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades (Resh). The aim is to study the adequacy of these Spanish rankings as a tool for describing the production in scientific journals at university aggregation level. Regarding the results, the University of Navarre published 7281 documents, 26% of them were articles in journals. Just above 39% were published in Spanish scientific journals, and 12% in Web of Science journals. The coverage of the production of the different faculties varies between Spanish rankings. In-Recj is optimal for Law, In-Recs for Communication and Economics and Resh for Humanities. We studied also the documents in the first quartile of the rankings. In In-Recs 43% of the articles were published in the first quartile, in Resh was 42% and 12% in JCR. We conclude that the national rankings are useful as a complement of the Web of Science and JCR
