MIAR is a system for quantitatively measuring the visibility of social science journals based on their presence in different types of databases. Those responsible for this project do not subscribe to any direct correlation between this value and other qualitative criteria such as the quality of the magazine, which can influence other factors.


Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Fecyt) has just published a manual of good practice in editing scientific journals. This manual is composed of nine articles written by editors, publishers or journals Spanish heads of recognized quality and prestige in different areas of knowledge.
