Spanish term

Revistas de corriente principal no indexadas ISI

Spanish to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Hola!
Entiendo todas las palabras por separado, pero no tengo ni la más remota idea de lo que quieren decir juntas (ISI creo que es Institute for scientific Information).
¿Qué son revistas de corriente principal no indexadas ISI?
¿Cómo se traduciría eso?
Como contexto tengo que debajo de ese título hay una tabla con el nombre de los autores, el título de sus proyectos y el nombre de la revista donde fue publicado.
HELP!
Muchas gracias!

It seems to me that they are talking about mainstream journals that are not listed in the ISI database.
See here: There are more than 100,000 journals published from around the world. However, ISI database includes only a small percentage of these journals. Therefore, if you publish in any journal which is not a part of the ISI database or if your papers are cited in the journals not listed in the ISI database, it will not add up to the impact factor calculation

Mainstream journals not indexed by ISI

"Revistas de corriente principal" translates straightforwardly as "Mainstream journals" ("journal" being the usual term for an academic periodical).

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream

ISI stands for Institute for Scientific Information, which maintains databases of scientific journals and highly influential citation indexes.

The expressions "not indexed in ISI" and "non-ISI-indexed" are also found.
