Abstract

Objective

To analyze the coverage and main bibliometric indicators of Spanish Journal of Legal Medicine (SJLM) in the Scopus database.

Methods

We identified the evolution of the journal's production between 2008–2024 and the citation and impact indicators (number of citations, CiteScore, Scimago Journal Rank-SJR, quartile, h-index, most cited and read papers).

Results

515 papers were included in Scopus (27.1 annual average) with an h-index of 15 and a self-citation rate of 21.5% for the period studied. The number of citations received in Scopus was 1,510, reaching the peak of citations in 2022. In the category Pathology and Forensic Medicine, for the year 2023, SJLM obtained an h-index of 13, with an SJR of 0.217 corresponding to the third quartile. In 2023 the percentage of female authors was 53.85%. The most productive institutions were the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Catalonia and the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences. The article with the best metrics was the one related to gender violence and confinement due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic published in 2020.

Conclusions

A positive evolution of SJLM metrics is observed during the period studied. The improvement of the journal's indicators would benefit from its indexing in other international databases.
