(2023). https://www.webofscience.com/ Methods for processing the data: - Ulrichsweb was used to collect normalized title, ISSN, URL, subjects, start year and publisher. Using the ISSN and Title several searches were made in: o DOAJ: it was used to know if the journal was indexed. o InCites and Journal Citation Reports were used used to identify journals which publish data papers and their quartile according to JIF (JCR). o Scimago Journal an Country Rank: it was used to know in the last year the best quartile. - The URLs were checked and updated (if necessary). - A normalization process was made in some variables: o Publishers o Document Type - The aims and scope/instructions for authors regarding data papers in each journal site were revised. Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers: Microsoft Excel or another software that works with tabular data -------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION -------------------------- Number of variables: 11 Number of cases/rows: 163 Variable list, defining any abbreviations, units of measure, codes or symbols used: - Title - ISSN - URL - Subject: subjects that Ulirchsweb assigns to the journal - Start year: year of the first issue of the journal - Publisher - DOAJ: values YES / NO, it depends on if the journal is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) - WOS: values YES / NO, it depends on if the journal is indexed in Web of Science Core Collections - JCR (JIF): values Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 / n/a, it depends on the best quartile in 2022 of the journal based on its the Journal Impact Factor - SJR (Scopus): values Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 / n/a, it depends on the best quartile in 2022 of the journal in Scimago Journal & Country Rank - Document type: this is the field where the type of contributions that each journal admits is shown.
