What are the differences between engineering journal performances?
Cuáles son las diferencias entre el desempeño de las revistas científicas de ingeniería?
In recent Editorial letters of Ingeniería e Investigación the performance of engineering scientific journals has been reviewed to provide information with regard to their ranking, which could be used by editors and authors for improving their productivity. Journal performance refers to the set of indicators that allow to compare quantitatively different journals. This editorial letter revisits the topic and formulates the following question: what are the difference in performance of engineering journals?
