Abstract
This paper describes the Scimago Journal and Country Rank portal, created by the Spanish research group Scimago, which calculates a series of metric impact indicators through the analysis of the journals indexed in the Scopus database. The four possible search options are explained, both the specific analysis of a journal individually or through the comparison of journals (Journal Ranks), the classification of the countries evaluated according to their scientific production (Country Ranks) as well as a new tool of information visualization (Viz Tools). Using the journal Acta Pediátrica Española as an example, Scimago Journal and Country Rank portal provide together with the bibliographic information of the journal, the SJR metrics, index H, documents, references, citations, citations by document and country obtained annually for the period 1999-2016.
