Abstract


Citations received from scientific articles published in recognized journals originate the calculation of the impact index of this means of dissemination. SCImago Journal & Country Rank is a free access platform on the Internet that provides indicator information on the quality, prestige and impact of scientific journals over three years. For this purpose, it uses the publications indexed in the Scopus database. In this research, a descriptive analysis has been made (through clusters) of the impact index in SJR journals from Latin American countries in the Top 20 of SJR 2019 with the indicators: H index, Total Docs. (2019), Total Docs. (3 years), Total Refs. (2019), Total Cites (3 years), Citable Docs. (3 years), Cites/Doc. (2 years), Ref./Doc. (2019); in order to analyze and compare them. First, information on the impact rate on SJR is presented. Then, the clusters formed between the SJR impact index and the mentioned indicators are shown. Although in the Rank SJR, the journals PECON (BR), RevMexAA (MX) and ETHE (CO) occupy the first three positions in that order, the first and third stand out in cluster 1 as the best scientific journals in the clusters formed.
