Observando el informe “Índice h de las revistas científicas españolas según Google Scholar Metrics”: el caso de las revistas de arte

Abstract

This article reflects on the annual report prepared by the research group EC3 (Evaluation of Science and Scientific Communication), of the University of Granada, entitled " H-index of Spanish scientific journals according to Google Scholar Metrics", focusing on the section of art journals. It assesses their accuracy, explaining the convenience of categorizing journals by discipline and the need to remove nonscientific journals. It warns about the consequences that the lack of precision of the report could generate in the community of researchers and in the evaluation agencies.
