Greetings from Vancouver<br>
<br>
Interestingly enough, at least from the perspective of an earth
sciences librarian, it appears that some journals that<br>
are in Latindex are also indexed in Web of Science and GeoRef.<br>
<br>
For example,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.latindex.unam.mx/buscador/ficRev.html?folio=18159&opcion=3" target="_blank">http://www.latindex.unam.mx/buscador/ficRev.html?folio=18159&opc<span></span>ion=3</a><br>
<br>
Knowing the coverage of GeoRef, this doesn't really surprise me.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Having tried for years to demonstrate
that what is going on outside the North Atlantic region of the world,
is significant at a world scale - how long did it take for people to
begin paying attention to both SciELO and RedALyC? Who pays attention
to the 6000 journals vetted by Latindex? Why are people mesmerized by
the Web of Science, SCOPUS and Ulrich's? - and after publishing
several articles on this kind of issues, I would support Carolina's
call with passion. I would simply add that local actions are
wonderful, but one should never forget that their potential world
impact is also great. The North Atlantic region is not the sole fount
of wisdom in the scientific world, and it should not masquerade as the
only site of "international" science (international here
meaning "core journals" as defined by
Thomson-Reuters...).<br>
<br>
What SciELO and RedALyC are doing is probably far more significant
than all the battles in Britain about a silly Finch report, because
the Finch report affects only Britain and Brazil's GDP is just about
to pass that of Britain, if it is not already the case. The future
lies with Brazil, not Britain, or France or Germany.<br>

I am with you 120%' Carolina.<br>
