Evolution and effect of meeting abstracts in JCR journals

The purpose of the present study is to analyse the presence and evolution in the last 13 years of the document type “Meeting Abstract” in the database where they are best represented, i.e. in the Web of Science Core Collection. We have also studied in which categories and in which type of journals t...

This study is of great relevance for researchers and policymakers, because it helps to identify in which disciplines Meeting Abstracts have relevance and they should be considered for the calculation of indicators in bibliometric practices, and opens the door to research into their relationship with other documentary typologies within the social processes of scientific communication in different sciences.20252025-01-0720252025-02-0120252025-02-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12466/4964reponame:RIUCV.
