Abstract

The research that estimate the magnitude of school segregation by socioeconomic status that has been done until now shown an overly simplistic image of the phenomenon that is not capable of reflecting his highly complex reality. This paper presents an alternative approach of analysis and interpretation of school segregation. Specifically, the aim of this research is to determine the profile of school segregation by socioeconomic status of Spain and its Autonomous Communities, and to establish models of segregation of the Communities. A special exploitation of the PISA 2015 data is conducted. We use the socioeconomic and cultural status of the families (NSEC) as a main variable. The analysis of the data is carried out in two phases: on the one hand, it is estimated the Gorard index using 19 minority groups; on the other hand, it is identified the segregation models and their characteristics using the analysis by clusters and k-means. The results show the existence of 17 different profiles of school segregation by socioeconomic status, one for each of the Autonomous Communities studied, and identify five behavior models of school segregation in Spain. This research shows how little is the knowledge about school segregation in Spain, and presents a more accurate alternative to estimate the magnitude of school segregation by socioeconomic status considering it, not as a point, but as a profile

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Relieve: Revista Electronica De Investigacion Y Evaluacion Educativa due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2019, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q2 (Segundo Cuartil), in the category Education.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations from Scopus Elsevier, it yields a value for the Field-Weighted Citation Impact from the Scopus agency: 2.9, which indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 15.94 (source consulted: Dimensions Jun 2025)
  • Normalized Impact calculated by Dialnet Metrics: 17.39 (source consulted: Dialnet Metrics Dec 2023)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-06-06, the following number of citations:

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-06:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 18.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 46 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 19.9.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 27 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/705602
