Abstract

In this work we try to know the ways in which the portuguese science writing, mainly the national social science and psychological writing, appears in the biggest scientific databases of the world. To reach that aim we research the national scientific production using PorData; Scimago; Scopus; Web of Science and the Journal of Citation Report. We wanted to know the kind of scores use to evaluate the scientific impact; the authorships patterns; the paper’s main themes; the presence of national scientific journal in the international arena. Finally, we wanted to identify other metrics that started to show up.
