Article published in Revista Española de Documentación Científica

An article by our colleagues Manuel Álvarez-Vizcaíno and Beatriz Climent on the tool for identifying and analysing predatory journals, developed by our library, has just been published in the Revista Española de Documentación Científica.

The article, "Herramienta para la identificación y análisis de revistas depredadoras en ciencias biomédicas", has been published in issue 4 of volume 46 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.3989/redc.2023.4.1445) and describes both the tools provided to researchers by the library and the criteria and procedure used to establish which journals are considered predatory.

To access the article in the RODERIC repository you can do so by its register in the Trobes catalogue.

Actualització de l'eina "On publicar"

A la Biblioteca de Ciències de la Salut hem actualitzat la nostra eina “On Publicar”, creada per a ajudar als investigadors de l’àrea en el procés de selecció d’una revista.

L’actualització inclou les noves dades de l’edició 2022 de JCR: factor d’impacte, quartil, i posició de la revista en cada categoria i en altres categories. S’ofereix a més informació sobre les revistes que publiquen en obert sense taxes, i també les que tenen APCs bonificades i descomptes per als investigadors de la nostra institució, així com un enllaç per a consultar la política editorial de la revista respecte a l’Open Access.
 

Com a novetat, en aquesta actualització s’han inclòs quatre categories més de JCR, que completarien les del grup Clinical Medicine: Behavioral sciences, Materials science & biomaterials, Reproductive biology, i Substance abuse.

"On no publicar" tool update

The Ciències de la Salut Library has just updated the information on editorial fraud in its "On no publicar" ("Where not to publish") tool:

The tool works as a directory of suspicious journals in the field of biomedical sciences, and at the same time allows us to analyze the behavior of editorial fraud in our area, in order to better advise researchers.

This year, 923 potentially fraudulent journals have been identified and many changes of title, publisher or domain, one of the characteristics of predatory journals.

We hope you find it useful, and for any questions or clarification on the subject, you can contact us through "La Biblioteca Respon".

In addition, it is completed with self-assessment tests by medical specialties, videos and images and other clinical practice resources such as a complete vade mecum, clinical cases, diagnostic tests, primary care guides, etc…

You can access from this link: https://accessmedicina.mhmedical.com/, and remember to activate the VPN if you access from home.

You also have a guide for using AccesMedicina prepared by the library.
