This study presents a comparative analysis among four psycholog y journals published in Spanish that have an impact facto r (Psicothema, Revista Latinoamericana de Psicolog ia, Revista Mexicana de Psicologia, and Revista Interamericana de Psicologia). These journals are compared in terms of several bibliometric indices such as impact factor, weighted impact factor, mean impact factor of the periodicals where citations appear, immediate citation factor, and mean d uratio n of citations. Additionally, a con ten t analy sis is made of the fo ur period icals co nsidering the different academic fields o f psychology and the meth ods of the published studies.
