The Vice-Chancellor for Research, Juan Manuel Corchado, and the editor of the Salamanca University Press, Eduardo Azofra, launched a project to improve the visibility and impact of the scientific publications of Salamanca University Press last September 2016. One of the initiatives has been to advance in the bibliometric studies that help the publisher and the journals to reflect on their positioning, their achievements, as well as their weaknesses, and to create guidelines to better showcase the quality and the solidity of the content they provide.
