Informe de análisis de citas en Google Scholar de la Revista Iter Ad Veritetem de la facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Santo Tomás, Tunja.

Abstract

Bibliometric studies allow evaluating the metrics generated by a journal in order to recover and analyze scientific activities, this time the Publish or Perish software was used, which exposes the importance of using Google Scholar since it allows knowing the usefulness and impact in the scientific community of the journal Iter Ad Veritaten. The role of publications is important in the communication process, since through their results, researchers disclose their contributions to the community in which they operate, however, this process is not the only one, scientific activity must also be measured. . This process is fulfilled through the application of bibliometric techniques, such as the impact factor and citation analysis, the real influence of said works in a certain scientific community. Google Scholar, provides academic information subtracted from journals, presentations, theses, books, allowing researchers to be located. The most common criticisms of this tool come from the absence or lack of normalization and/or duplication of the retrieved articles. However, its use to carry out bibliometric studies encourages the opening and use of this tool for free access to periodical publications.
