RODRIGUEZ-SALAZAR, Luis Mauricio  and  DELGADILLO-MONROY, Gabriela. JCR versus SJR Lexicalization or transliteration in the information economy. Investig. adm. [online]. 2017, vol.46, n.120. ISSN 2448-7678.

The publishing process and dissemination of science has been increasing over the past decades and thus a special provision systems indexing as a benchmark of scientific productivity, in which the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) have hegemony in journals indexed. Therefore, the objective of this article is to present an alternative indexing system SCImago Journal and Country Rank (SJR). So we start from a documentary historical method, with which the origin and development of the Science Citation Index by Institute for Scientific Information was analyzed. It was then necessary to present SOCPUS data base developed by the company Elsevier (which is analogous to SCI created by the ISI), from which derives the SJR. The article concludes with a reflection, that can be useful as a way forward for Social Sciences Research Journals.
