This study presents a bibliometric analysis of Psicothema as a commemoration for its 30 years of publishing (1989-2018).
A year-, sex-, and publication language-based analysis of the journal's characteristics was carried out based on the sample of 2,396 publications. Based on that data, Lotka's law was assessed, Lawani and Subramanyam indices and cooperation networks were estimated, the Pratt index was calculated, the concentration of papers according to thematic areas and research methods was described, and citations and impact indicators were obtained according to the original articles indexed in Web of Science (1993-2018).
The results indicated greater participation by male authors, increased publication in English, compliance with Lotka's law, and a greater inter-institutional contribution in recent decades. There was a higher percentage of methodology/psychometrics-related work, and most of these publications used quantitative methods. The impact factor and the amount of citations reached its peak in 2018.
The characteristics of Psicothema, which is a model of scientific communication of psychology in the international context, are discussed in this study.
本研究对 Psicothema 进行了文献计量分析，以纪念其 30 年的出版历史（1989-2018 年）。
本研究基于 2396 篇文章的样本，对期刊的特征进行了基于年份、性别和出版语言的分析。在此基础上，评估了洛特卡定律、拉瓦尼和苏布拉马尼扬指数以及合作网络，计算了普拉特指数，描述了根据主题领域和研究方法的论文集中程度，并根据 Web of Science（1993-2018 年）索引的原始文章获取了引文和影响指标。
结果表明，男性作者的参与度更高，英文出版量增加，最近几十年的机构间合作有所增加。与方法/心理测量学相关的工作比例更高，这些出版物大多采用定量方法。影响因子和引文数量在 2018 年达到峰值。
本研究讨论了 Psicothema 的特征，该期刊是国际心理学科学传播的典范。
