Se analiza la problemática actual de las publicaciones científicas especializadas en Historia que se editan en Canarias, que, aunque aparecen indexadas en algunas bases de datos y directorios de publicaciones periódicas, carecen de una visibilidad que vaya más allá del ámbito estrictamente regional. La creciente implantación de modelos de evaluación de la investigación en las áreas de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales que, entre otras cosas, priorizan la publicación de la investigación científica en revistas competitivas, supone un serio inconveniente para la supervivencia de estas revistas. Tomando como ejemplo la revista Vegueta: Anuario de la Facultad de Geografía e Historia de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, se analiza el grado de cumplimiento de los estándares internacionales en materia de publicaciones científicas periódicas, al tiempo que se proponen una serie de mejoras que, en caso de aplicarse, mejorarían notablemente su calidad editorial y permitirían la inclusión de la revista en las principales bases de datos españolas e internacionales.
In this essay, we will analyse the problems History Reviews published in the Canary Islands are facing now. Though some of these reviews appear indexed in some data bases and listings of publications, they are virtually unknown beyond their region. The progressive implementation of parameters to evaluate the quality of research in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, those, which come to priorize publication of scientific research in competitive reviews, will make the future of these reviews turn bleak. We will analyse whether Vegueta: Anuario de la Facultad de Geografía e Historia de la Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a review we have taken as sample, meets the international criteria for publication. We also attempt to make a series of suggestions which, if taken into consideration, may help to improve its quality as a publication allowing it to be accepted in mainstream data bases both in Spain and outside of Spain.
