Abstract

GOMEZ MORALES, YURI JACK; JARABA-BARRIOS, BRUNO; GUERRERO-CASTRO, JAVIER  and  LOPEZ-LOPEZ, WILSON. Between Internationalization and Consolidation of Local Academic Communities. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.21, n.1, pp.97-110. ISSN 0121-5469.

The article presents the results of a bibliometric study of internal and external consumption and co-authorship of articles written by Colombians between 1969 and 2008, in order to provide empirical evidence of the role played by the Revista Latinoamericana de Psicología in the development of the psychological science community in Colombia. Results suggest that despite the publication's scientific and editorial excellence, it had little involvement in the development of local psychological science communities. The article expresses some concerns regarding the agenda for the internationalization of science promoted by the Colombian National System of Science and Technology, in which publications such as the Revista Latinoamericana de Psicología are taken as models.

Keywords : bibliometrics; specialized journals; scientific communities; science policy; internationalization; Revista Latinoamericana de Psicología; Colombia.
