Revista Investigación Económica: análisis bibliométrico a partir de redalyc.org, 2005-2014

A characterization of the journal Investigación Económica (Economic Research) is performed as a result of a bibliometric analysis, where the universe of study is composed by its publications available in redalyc.org (199 scientific papers of the period 2005-2014). In addition, the analysis includes indicators (based on production, collaboration and usage; also proposed by that database) that conform an alternative and complementary way to analyze written science. The conclusion shows that this journal is a reference to internationalization and visibility in economics, given the strong presence of foreign publications, whose performance drives two effects: the increased collaboration among researchers and the international papers download. However, this effort should result in citations to the journal, where there is a pending issue and diverse areas of opportunity and strengthening.
