Abstract
Latin American Obstetrics and Gynecology. What is Up with the Journals?
Highlights
Latin American Obstetrics and Gynecology journals classified in the Scimago Journal Rankings are few, and those included are not much cited
Several reasons contribute to this situation, such as that the best quality articles are often sent to international journals, the scarce training in research during residency in these countries, the limitations of the authors and journals for the publication of articles in English to find better visibility, and the difficulty in financing the journals, which in some cases have led to the suspension of some issues or even of the journal itself or to compromise editorial independence when they need to be financed by the pharmaceutical industry.[3]
The preservation and strengthening of these journals are important for Latin America because they serve as a means of dissemination for its researchers, and, occasionally, they focus on issues of local or regional importance
Summary
Latin American Obstetrics and Gynecology journals classified in the Scimago Journal Rankings are few, and those included are not much cited.
