Abstract

The Medieval Warm Period (PCM), also called the Medieval Climatic Optimum or Medieval Warm Anomaly, was a warm period about which numerous papers have been written, raising different discrepancies over the years. In this work we have proceeded to carry out a status of the issue on the PCM in the Iberian Peninsula. Through it, the climatic indicators of indirect origin that have been extracted from the various investigations have been evaluated to try to shed some light on these confusing issues. The results have shown a chronological trend influenced by latitude, so an approximate chronology has been estimated for the center of the Peninsula between the 12th and 14th centuries included, with a transition century, the 15th century, to the Little Ice Age.

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Anales de Geografia de la Universidad Complutense due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Dialnet (Dialnet Métricas). In the year of publication of the work, 2024 there are still no calculated indicators, but in 2023, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil).

Notably, the journal is positioned in the Quartile Q4 for the agency WoS (JCR), in the category Geography, in the Quartile Q3 for the agency Scopus (SJR), in the category Urban Studies, classified as B in other national agencies such as CIRC, classified as C by the agency AGUAR.

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 2025-07-16:

  • 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: 3 (PlumX).

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.
