Estudio de la revista española de documentación científica: Análisis comparativo de los periodos 1989-1999 y 2000-2010

Abstract

Former research on articles published in the Revista Española de Documentación Científica has been updated in the current study, which focusses on the decade 2000-2010. In order to facilitate comparison between both studies, the same methodological assumptions were employed, based on the categorization of research methods. Results show a significant increase of research articles during this period, a considerable presence of bibliometric studies and the continuing use of similar techniques for data collection and analysis. Furthermore, the consolidation in recent years of Library and Information Science as a scientific field has been detected. © 2013 CSIC.
