La revista "Nutrición hospitalaria" en el panorama científico españolorigen, desarrollo y difusión

Abstract

The project of the journal NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA started in 1979. Five hundred copies were published and distributed among the members of the Spanish Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (SENPE). There were no other means of distribution. The journal was included in Index Medicus and Medline in 1990, in SciELO in 2003 and in the Web of Science, Institute for Scientific Information, in 2007 with retroactive effect to 2006. The impact factor of NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA was announced in 2008. NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA has grown in an almost exponential way after these achievements. Increasing from 100 articles published in 2007 to 700 articles in 2015, the journal became international; 50% of the articles came from 64 countries from five continents. 8,036 articles have appeared indexed in the Web of Science until July 2016. The impact factor of NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA has ranged between o.926 and 1.497. NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA, due to the large number of articles published each year, has a significant effect upon the impact factor of other journals in its group. NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA appears in Google Scholar in the second position of all the Spanish journals with an h5 index of 33, only surpassed by the Spanish Journal of Cardiology (h5 index: 37). The journal NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA appears also in Wikipedia™ and in Facebook™. NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA led the Declaration of Montevideo in 2005, with the objectives of establishing better mechanisms of cooperation among Iberoamerican journals on nutrition and to assume the Declarations of Salvador de Bahia about compromise with equity and open access. NUTRICIÓN HOSPITALARIA is the Official Organ of the Spanish Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, the Spanish Society of Nutrition, The Latin American Federation of Nutritional Therapy, Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, The International Virtual Tesis Doctoral Jesús Culebras Fernández 284 Center of Information in Nutrition and of the Spanish Federation of Nutrition, Alimentation and Dietetics.

The section Classics in Nutrition became very popular during the last 25 years. Each classic article deserving more recognition was accompanied by an article centering it in its historical perspective. The prize JESÚS CULEBRAS Lecture was established to award scientists outstanding in the field of artificial nutrition and in their contributions to SENPE. The scientists who dictated JESÚS CULEBRAS lectures were Antonio Pérez de la Cruz, Miguel León, Ángel Gil, Mercè Planas, Jordi Salas Salvadó, Pedro Marsé and Abelardo García de Lorenzo.
