| Sumario: | [EN]: The objective of this study is to determine if the criteria imposed by Clarivate Analytics regarding the penali-zation of journals that have an elevated number of self-citations should be applied to all journals equally, without consi-dering differential bibliometric indicators between journals. The editorial characteristics of the journal Adicciones, which was excluded from JCR in 2019 due to an excess of self-citations, were analyzed opposite journals of its same category, and different bibliometric indicators of the journal Adicciones were analyzed as well. The results indicate different edito-rial characteristics between publications included in the category of Substance Abuse in the JCR according to country of editing, number of thematic categories, publication language, edited numbers per year and editorial. The existence of a majority presence of a single country is observed in the journal Adicciones (Spanish authors in both published and cited articles). It can be concluded that the criteria followed by Clarivate Analytics regarding journal self-citations requires a review attending to the particular characteristics of each scientific publication. |
