Abstract

It seeks to describe the concept and processes of the Management of Scientific Journals, to unify theoretical criteria around the management of journals. Documentary analysis (systematic review of Web Of Science and Scopus databases) is carried out, extracting papers that refer to the term "journal management" in their content. A total of 61 documents resulted, of which, through the exclusion criteria, a total of 36 were reviewed, adding the term "journal governance", obtaining 2 more articles for consultation, in addition to 9 additional documents. It is concluded that the term Magazine Management is explicitly named in many of these articles, but that to date there is no fully developed concept.
