Analisi delle tipologie di pubblicazioni psicologiche nelle riviste ad alto Impact Factor: Qualche spunto di riflessione sul sistema di valutazione della qualità delle pubblicazioni scientifiche.

The contribution, after an in-depth and critical analysis of the bibliometric evaluation system of scientific publications, offers an overview of the types of scientific publications in psychology, in journals with high impact factor (> 6.5), published in the period 2008-2013. 7487 publications included in the study were cataloged by type (case study, research, review, theoretical articles). The results show that the types of articles most accepted in high impact factor journals are mainly research, then theoretical articles, then reviews and finally case studies, the latter almost non-existent. However, the articles with the highest impact factor are reviews, followed by theoretical articles, research and finally case studies. The results are discussed in the light of the critical issues identified on the bibliometric evaluation system of publications, and are offered as ideas for rethinking the relationship between organizations that deal with scientific research, and which require evaluation, and their reference contexts.
