The rise of globalization and the advent of Internet gave birth to a new science model in which national systems compete for a place in a global communication network where their products could circulate and gain notoriety. Several studies have been carried out to assess national performance in such network, particularly in terms of scientific research output and collaboration networks. However, academic journals in specific disciplines have not received the same attention. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the evolution of journal prestige in terms of country and region of origin in the field of environmental engineering in SCImago Journal and Rank database during 1999–2022. It was found that Western countries and private publishers still dominate the discipline in 2022. The United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands housed 51.16% of journals in 2022. Also, corporate publishers with headquarters in these countries own most of the journals, particularly in the top tier. Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor & Francis had a total 54 journals indexed in 2022, and 65.9% of journals rank in the first quartile belonged to these groups. However, Poland, China, and Iran have become major players. By 2022, they had 12, 10, and 7 environmental engineering journals indexed in SCImago Journal and Country Rank, and China and Iran’s journals have been ranked as Q1.

ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: El presente trabajo describe de forma dinámica las relaciones entre los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo durante el primer gobierno de Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Nos concentraremos en la revisión del volumen de producción legislativa de cada rama del poder, junto a la eficacia y eficiencia que éstas demostraron como promotoras de dicha producción. A partir de ello revisaremos el impacto que ejercieron sobre el establecimiento de la agenda legislativa y el control del mismo proceso legislativo, realizando un análisis diacrónico en el que se utilizará cada legislatura como unidad. De este modo, trataremos de identificar la presencia (o no) de algún tipo de patrón en las interacciones y evaluaremos la existencia tendencias de naturaleza jeráquica, transaccional o de distintos tipos de equilibrios producidos entre ellas. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: This paper describes the relationship between the executive and legislative branches during the first government of Alvaro Uribe Vélez. We will focus on reviewing the legislative output of each branch of power, along with the effectiveness and efficiency they showed as promoters of this production. We will review the impact they had on the setting of the legislative agenda and on the control of the legislative process itself, making a diachronic analysis in which each legislature is used as a unit. Thus, we will try to identify the presence (or not) of some kind of pattern interactions, and we will evaluate, on the one hand, the existence of hierarchical and transactional trends, and, on the other, the different types of balances produced between them.
