Abstract

We present the final results of an investigation (UBACYT F157)1 that determined the scientific production indicators of the Facultad de Filosofia y Letras of the Universidad de Buenos Aires for 2007. Quantitative procedures were applied to analyze the data recorded in a database created ad hoc. Preferences of researchers to disseminate their findings through the production of journal articles, conference papers, book chapters and books, audiovisual and electronic productions were determined. Among the different bibliographic formats following variables were studied: language, types of journals, scope of the conferences, authors, types of publishers. Of the three hypotheses stated the one that presupposed the existence of various strategies for dissemination of knowledge among different disciplines have been refuted. The other two were confirmed: preference printed on digital media and almost non-existent use of electronic resources for dissemination, and preference for certain semi-formal channels of dissemination such as conferences.
