RAVELO C., Ernesto L.; SUSANA, Mejía  e  GONZALEZ E., Martha E.. SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION OF COLOMBIAN ACT OF PSYCHOLOGY: DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PERIOD 2010 -2014. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.2, pp.298-314. ISSN 0123-9155.  https://doi.org/10.14718/ACP.2016.19.2.12.

One of the strategies for developing action plans or improving scientific publications originates from a retrospective view or characterization studies, regarding the evolution of such written productions. In order to achieve this, indicators that require databases and indexes are considered. They allow evaluating scientific quality, editorial quality, visibility, periodicity or stability and impact. In this sense, this article aims to make a descriptive analysis of articles published in the “Acta Colombiana de Psicología” (Colombian Act of Psychology) Journal between 2010 and 2014. The variables to be considered for this analysis were identified: categorical and quantitative variables. Processing and data analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics IBM package version 23. Each of the categorical variables was analyzed by frequencies and percentages, and quantitative variables using descriptive statistics. Later, crosses between some variables, both categorical and quantitative, were performed using frequencies, percentages, descriptive measures, and some graphics. Information related to the number of articles published per year was highlighted, as well as origin of the articles, time span between receipt and acceptance, language percentages of the articles, type of research from which articles are derived, and the type of statistical analysis used, among others.
