Abstract

In this document the authors present the results of the retrieval, data processing and quantitative analysis tasks related to scholarly publications of authors affiliated to Universidad Santo Tomás, seccional Bucaramanga, from 2019 to 2020. These data were queried and exported from bibliographic databases, namely Scopus (developed by Elsevier) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (developed by Clarivate Analytics). On the other hand, the analysis was complemented with data from publications published in Colombia retrieved from the Google Scholar search engine using Publish or Perish v.7 software (developed by Tarma Software and Anne-Wil Harzing). Through text mining with VantagePoint v.12 software (developed by Search Technology) publication activity indicators were obtained by Colombian and international institutions according to the bibliographic corpus in each database. In addition, indexing, national validation and quartile position of sources were identified. The Scopus bibliographic dataset was contrasted by source with the list of journal positions by SCImago group, published in 2020 with citation data from 2019. On the other hand, data from Web of Science (WoS) SCI-E and SSCI citation indexes were contrasted with the list of journal positions published annually in the Journal Citation Reports of that same company, with citation data from 2019 for the most recent update. The journal indexing information in the national bibliographic database and the corresponding validation of international journals was checked on the Publindex site, owned by the MinCiencias in Colombia, according to the results of convocatoria 875 of 2020.
