| Summary: | VacciMonitor has gradually increased its visibility
by access to different databases. Thus, it was
introduced in the project SciELO, EBSCO, HINARI,
Redalyc, SCOPUS, DOAJ, SICC Data Bases,
SeCiMed, among almost thirty well-known index
sites, including the virtual libraries of the main
universities from United States of America and
other countries.
Through an agreement SciELO-Web of Science
(WoS) it will be possible to include the journals that
are indexed in SciELO in the WoS, however this
collaboration work is already presenting its
outcomes, it is possible to access the content of
SciELO by WoS in the link:

y/scielo/
WoS was designed by the Institute for Scientific
Information (ISI) and it is one of the products of the
pack ISI Web of Knowledge, currently property of
Thomson Reuters (1). WoS is a service of citation
index and databases, worldwide on-line leader with
multidisciplinary information covering the
knowledge fields of sciences in general, social
sciences as well as arts and humanities with more
than 46 million of bibliographical references and
other hundreds of citations, that made possible
navigation in the broad web of journal articles,
lecture materials and other registers included in its
collection (1). The logic of the functioning of WoS is
based on quantitative criteria, since a bigger
production demonstrates a greater number of
registered papers in most recognized Journals and
to what extend these papers are cited by these
journals (2).
The information obtained from WoS databases are
very useful to address efforts of scientific research
to a personal, institutional or national level.
Scientists publishing in WoS journals not only produce more scientific literature but also this
literature is more consulted and used (3). However,
it should be considered that statistics of this site for
the bibliometric analysis only take into account
those journals in this web, but contains three
integrated databases: Science Citation Index
Expanded, Social Science Citation Index and Art &
Humanities Citation Index (1).
By analyzing the information available in WoS, it is
possible to know in a general way, which
researchers are more productive and influent in the
knowledge fields, which institutions has more
productions and are more quoted, which journals
have more presence (impact) in different
disciplines, where the journal articles, quoted in
documents published by interest institution, come
from (4). Finally, which the more discussed topics
are and in which knowledge area the researchers
from a certain country have more presence. (4).
Individually, it permits to know how many quotes
exists by knowledge area, with this information the
researcher knows if his/her articles surpass or not
the average and facilitates the decision making to
increase visibility and quotes of the researches (5).
Currently, in VacciMonitor was crucial its indexation
in SciELO and SCOPUS, for it will allow, among
other criteria, the inclusion in WoS, in addition it
permitted to access to the impact index according
to SJR (SCImago Journal & Country Rank).
VacciMonitor is confirmed as the leader journal on
vaccinology in our region and it aims at gradually
increasing its scope by accessing new databases.
We would like to appreciate authors, for sending
high scientific quality papers, reviewers for their
correct and critical recommendations and the
editorial and scientific board for the revision, editing
and constancy.
