| Summary: | The main goal of a scientific journal is to diffuse new knowledge. The number of citations received by a journal can be considered as a measure of this objective and, in turn, as a measure of productivity in relation to the production process in which the journals are involved. In order to assess this production process, in this paper econometric models using data panel are employed to obtain measures of efficiency for those journals belonging simultaneously to the areas of “economics” and “social science, mathematical methods” in the Web of Science database. This efficiency is measured in terms of the distance between the actual production of the journals and their estimated maximum achievable number of citations based on their available resources. || El principal objetivo de una revista científica es difundir nuevo conocimiento. El número de citas recibidas por una revista se puede considerar como una medida de este objetivo y, a su vez, como una medida de productividad en relación al proceso de producción en el que las revistas están involucradas. Para evaluar este proceso de producción, en este artículo se emplean modelos econométricos que usan datos de panel para obtener medidas de eficiencia para aquellas revistas que pertenecen simultáneamente a las áreas “economics” y “social science, mathematical methods” en la base de datos Web of Science. Esta eficiencia se mide en términos de la distancia entre la producción real de las revistas y su número de citas máximo alcanzable estimado en base a sus recursos disponibles. |
