Temporal dynamics of content communication

Abstract

This editorial focuses on the temporal dynamics of content communication. Scientometrics has experienced exponential growth in terms of number of papers submitted to area journals, and has also become a permanent source for advice and strategic decision-making for researchers, policy-makers, research managers and others. However, the most relevant effect may be the number of indicators that have been developed in order to account for the dynamics of research communication and the output of academic communities. The growth experienced by our journal and its inclusion in the first quartiles in large information systems have involved changes and challenges, in terms of quality, quantity and prestige. This is why we feel to need to point out that we are constantly in a path towards advancement and we expect to be able to add new features to the website, in our quest for shorter publication times and higher quality of contents.
