  • Title: [Critical review of the bibliographic references of "Archivos Españoles de Urología"].
    Author: Blasco Casares FJ, Pinsach Elías L.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1993; 46(1):1-5. PubMed ID: 8476317.
    Abstract:
    Due to the lack of Spanish journals or publications with a rather strong "impact", which is basically determined by the number of times a publication is cited, we attempted to corroborate the widely held view that very little reference is made to the Spanish literature. On analyzing all the articles published in "Archivos Españoles de Urología" during 1990 (182 articles with a total of 3,324 references), we found that only 13.61% of the references were from Spanish journals, books or Congresses held in Spain, which dropped to 10.3% if the books or communications delivered at meetings are excluded. Approximately 30% of the articles did not have a single reference from a Spanish publication. Furthermore, the articles submitted by foreigners rarely included any reference from the Spanish literature. Finally, the Journal of Urology (USA), which accounted for over 20% of the references, was the most cited.
