The new normative passed by the FECyT and ANECA for the assessment of Sexenios (normative that soon will be also adopted for assessing the figures of PPL, TU and CU) includes a qualitative component (in addition to the quantitative one) in relation to researchers' scientific publications. In this regard, metrics provided by PlumX to Psicothema are significant for this qualitative justification of the impact and quality of scientific publications on an individual level. Thus, in the past year, Psicothema obtained the following results:
