Resumen
La constitución del inglés como idioma predilecto para las publicaciones científicas ha provocado que las revistas científicas de idioma inglés tuvieran más citaciones y fueran mejor valoradas que las de otros idiomas, de manera que los investigadores en muchos casos deben optar por escribir en una lengua que no corresponde a su región para dar a conocer su trabajo. La presente investigación se propuso realizar un análisis bibliométrico de las revistas científicas de Psicología en América Latina, a través del portal Scimago, teniendo en cuenta el cuartil de pertenencia a partir del indicador SJR. Mediante un estudio, un diseño bibliométrico retrospectivo ex post facto, halló que las revistas latinoamericanas representan un 3,52% de las indexadas en Scopus (n= 1336). El 80,85% se ubican en el cuartil 4, mientras que el 19,15% en el 3. El 85,11% de las revistas latinoamericanas son de acceso abierto. En Latinoamérica, Brasil es el país con mayor cobertura y rendimiento. En líneas generales, los resultados muestran que, aunque la cobertura es menor respecto de otras regiones, las publicaciones de América Latina, en su mayoría, son de acceso abierto y permiten obtener información rápidamente.
