English abstract

The geographical and social differences between Spain and Sweden, two non-English language European countries, led to our review of the impact factors (IF) and self-citation rates of scientific journals published in these two countries. The study endeavours to compare the trends of citation rates and impact factors for all Spanish and Swedish journals indexed in the Journal Citation Reports during the time period 2000-2005.

Item type: Journal article (Unpaginated)
Keywords: bibliometrics, Impact Factor, self-citation, JCR, journal citation, Spanish journals, Swedish journals.
