5. b) Articles published in journals occupying relevant positions in SCOPUS listings, in journals listed in the "Journal of Citation Reports" of the "Web of Knowledge (WoK)", may also be considered in journals listed in other national or international databases (eg ERIH, DICE-CINDOC, etc.), or in journals accredited by FECYT, provided that, in the opinion of the advisory committee, they have a scientific quality similar to those included in the indexes mentioned and which meet the criteria specified in appendix I of this resolution.

7. d) Books and book chapters, in which evaluation will take into account the number of citations received; the prestige of the publisher; the editors; the collection in which the work is published; reviews in specialized scientific journals, and translations of the work into other languages.

The repeated publication of works in journals or publishing houses belonging to or associated with the same organization where the applicant carries out his research will be evaluated unfavorably.

1. As a general rule, in order to obtain a positive evaluation, the five contributions of the abbreviated curriculum vitae shall comply with that described in the previous sections.

Appendix 1 mentioned in the aforementioned Resolution indicates the following criteria for a means of disseminating research to be recognized as having the least impact:

 

* Criteria that refer to the informative quality of the journal as a means of scientific communication:

1. Identification of the members of the editorial and scientific committees.
2. Detailed instructions to authors.
3. Information about the evaluation process and selection of manuscripts used by the journal, editorial, selection committee, including, for example, the criteria, procedure and review plan of the reviewers or judges.

7. Anonymity in the revision of the manuscripts.
8. Motivated communication of the editorial decision, for example, use by the journal / editorial / selection committee of a motivated notification of the editorial decision that includes the reasons for the acceptance, revision or rejection of the manuscript, as well as the original opinions ( or retouched by the writing) issued by external experts.
9. Editorial board, or editorial committee composed of director, secretary and some members.
10. Advisory board, made up of professionals and researchers of recognized solvency, without institutional link with the magazine or editorial, and oriented to mark the editorial policy and submit it to evaluation.

 

* Criteria on the scientific quality of journals:

11. Percentage of research articles, more than 75% of articles should be papers that report original research results.
12. Authoría: degree of editorial inbreeding, more than 75% of the authors will be external to the editorial committee and virtually unrelated to the editorial organization of the journal.

 

In addition to the above points, it will be particularly appreciated that the journal contains a fixed section with statistical information about the number of papers received and accepted. Special attention will also be given to the progressive indexation of the journal in specialized international databases.

In order to comply with the criteria and to facilitate the authors who publish their articles in the European Journal of  Education and Psychology, and to have effects in the CNEAI, when evaluating the research activity, includes a fixed section with data of interest to evaluate the fulfillment of the previous criteria, statistical information on articles received and accepted, and a reference to the databases in which the magazine is included.
