Estudio bibliométrico de la revista Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas (1984-2003) III. Análisis de los indicadores de repercusión

The impact factor of AD is low and not comparable to other publications included in the Dermatology & Venereal Diseases field from SCI. Our results confirm the low citation rate of AD by source journals in this repertory. However, the increase of this rate in recent years seems to indicate a higher Spanish presence in SCI due to an increasing number of publications corresponding to Spanish authors in international journals and the inclusion of some Spanish journals in this database.
