About this journal
Aims and scope
The aims of Ribagua - Revista Iberoamericana del Agua are:
- Promote technological and scientific development on issues associated with water - continental and maritime - in Ibero-America, spreading the engineering and research work that is developed in the region to a global audience.
- Disseminate the Iberian-American water theme.
- Contribute to bringing science and technology closer to water issues in Ibero-America (and by extension in the world), in order to facilitate the access of professionals to recent innovations in research, and of scientists to novel practical developments that can give rise to new discoveries.
- Contribute to the exchange of ideas between professionals in the sector (engineers, lawyers, biologists, executives, etc.) related to water.
- Provide a forum for discussion, in Spanish and Portuguese, of the most important water problems in its geographical area.
Objetivos:
- Promover al desarrollo tecnológico y científico en temas asociados con el agua – continental y marítima- en Iberoamérica, difundiendo el trabajo ingenieril y de investigación que se desarrolla en la región a una audiencia global.
- Diseminar la temática del agua iberoamericana.
- Contribuir a acercar la ciencia y la técnica en temas relacionados con el agua en Iberoamérica (y por extensión en el mundo), para facilitar el acceso de los profesionales a innovaciones recientes en la investigación, y de los científicos a desarrollos prácticos novedosos, que puedan dar lugar a nuevos descubrimientos.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
- Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
- Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
- Impact Factor Best Quartile*: the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
- 5 Year Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal within a five-year window.
- CiteScore (Scopus)†: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period.
- CiteScore Best Quartile†: the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
- SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper): the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation potential in the field.
- SJR (Scimago Journal Rank): Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
- From submission to first decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a first decision in the last six months.
- From submission to first post-review decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review. Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last six months.
- From acceptance to online publication: the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published in the last six months.
- Acceptance rate: articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
