The methodology used for this research is descriptive - retrospective with direct observation of the journal under study, as well as its indexing in academic Google, for which the document analysis method was used. This study has a quantitative-qualitative approach applying metric indicators to its production in the aforementioned period. The results obtained in Google Academic provided results, which allowed us to outline future actions and interventions, to achieve greater visibility on the web and a better positioning of topics and authors.   Keywords: Scientific production, reporting, visibility, indexed journal.
