Scientific production on television in communication: A systematistudy via web of science

Abstract

This paper analyses the scientific production on television in the field of communication, with the aim of detecting the current state of the matter, trends in the most researched topics and subtopics on television and gender differences in authorship. To this end, a systematic bibliographic search of articles published in scientific journals in the field of communication in the main collection of Web of Science from 2016 to 2020 in Spanish was carried out. The analysis of the sample, composed of a total of 192 articles, allows us to conclude a downward trend in terms of research on television and reveals that concepts such as social audience, audiovisual or news and fiction genres are the most common in publications on television in Spanish.
