Abstract

The following is an exploratory study regarding the scientific impact of the Ra Ximhai journal, using the number of citations it has obtained as a metric. The scientific journal Ra Ximhai is a biannual publication run by the Universidad Autónoma Intercultural de Sinaloa, which has been published in print and digital versions since 2005. It is indexed in the Master Journal List, Redalyc, Latindex, among others. A study of its citations was carried out in order to know the impact of its publications in the scientific community to date. Information about the number of citations of the articles in the Ra Ximhai journal was collected through Hazarding's Publish or Perish 6 program, which collected information from Google Scholar. A total of 14 searches were carried out, one per year, from 2005 to 2018, showing a total of 935 documents, including multidisciplinary scientific articles and reviews. A total of 5431 citations were obtained and the most cited article up to the date of the search had 241 citations. Some descriptive statistics and a Pareto analysis are shown, which shows that the most cited articles of the journal are those with more than 8 citations. The specific bibliometric analysis of the Ra Ximhai journal will help as a starting point to continue research on the subject, compare the results with other scientific journals on the same subject and as a diagnosis of the current situation of the journal.
