Abstract
From a search of the literature related to Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the Network of Scientific Journals from Latin America and the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal (REDALYC) were determined 149 articles related to the topic in 8 countries and international organizations referenced in that network. The most important journals for the subject and also from the analysis of the keywords presented in the abstract, the relevant thematics for the publications about SMEs were found.
Utilizing Perish (Harzing, 2007) the literature on SMEs referenced in Google Scholar and h indicator was determined. Of the 1000 articles founded 215 had an h index > = 1 indicator and 75% of the articles referenced even they appear in Google Scholar, have not a real impact (h = 0).
The methodology allows to recommend a simple form that can be incorporated in the Academic Master Programs for determining for a thesis topic, those articles published an indexed in scientific journals and with a real impact for the topic.
