Abstract

The research aims to analyze the scientific productivity in the field of work/organizational psychology (WOP) in the last 25 years. We focus our analysis on the most influential journals and articles, generally and for 5-year periods, as well as structures of co-citation among the highest quality journals based on their h-index. We found that a high percentage of papers published each year receive between 5 and 10 cites. Secondly, we observe an exponential increase in the number of papers published, citations, and h-index. Additionally, the number of self-citations significantly increases in the last 5 years. In this sense, we consider that the most recent papers need more time to increase their level of citation and, subsequently, to correct the bias on self-citation. This research shows the status of research in the field of work/organizational psychology, analyzing the scientific journals and papers published in the Web of Science.

25年的工作与组织心理学研究:文献计量学视角

本研究旨在分析近25年来工作/组织心理学(WOP)领域的科学生产力。我们的分析重点是最具影响力的期刊和文章，总体上和5年内，以及基于h指数的最高质量期刊的共被引结构。我们发现，每年发表的论文中，有很高比例的论文被引用了5到10次。其次，我们观察到论文发表数量、引用次数和h指数呈指数增长。此外，自引次数在过去5年中显著增加。从这个意义上说，我们认为最新的论文需要更多的时间来提高他们的引用水平，随后，纠正自我引用的偏见。本研究通过分析Web of Science上发表的科学期刊和论文，展示了工作/组织心理学领域的研究现状。

期刊介绍： The Anuario de Psicología, one of Spain"s most important general psychology journals, is published by the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Barcelona. It appears three times a year. The Anuario combines continuity with the past with a strong commitment to the present and the future. The journal is broad-ranging, interdisciplinary, and innovative. The Anuario publishes research reports and applied studies in all fields of psychology. We also accept theorical, epistemological studies, organize dossiers on topical themes, and hold debates on controversial subjects deriving from a central article.
