Abstract

With the advent of current virtual restitution techniques based on technologies such as photogrammetry or laser scanning, the process of planimetric surveying has experienced an unprecedented methodological evolution, making it possible to generate information with a precision difficult to achieve using traditional techniques. These latter techniques are contingent upon the existence of physical remains allowing defining the reference geometry on the basis of which different rectification proposals can be developed. However, when lacking such physical elements serving as a reference, these current graphic restitution techniques are hardly applicable. In these cases, it is necessary to resort to a methodology based exclusively on the treatment nd analysis of written documentary sources and available graphic documentation, which makes the work unique and stands as an alternative to the architectural heritage 3D modelling traditional procedure. The present case, which involves the graphic restitution of the Citadel of Valencia, demolished in 1956, exemplifies the possibility of pursuing the graphic reconstruction of a missing building by means of using a methodology based on the treatment and analysis of graphic and written documentary sources exclusively, making it possible to recover the image of the building over time.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Ega Revista De Expression Grafica Arquitectonica 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, 2021, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Visual Arts and Performing Arts.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.1. This 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: 2.51 (source consulted: Dimensions Jul 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-07-20, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 2

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 2025-07-20:

  • 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: 4.
  • 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: 6 (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: 0.5.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (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: http://hdl.handle.net/177340
