Objective. This study examined the trajectory of symbolic politics as an area of study by analyzing the Scopus-indexed literature. The objective of this study was to delineate the temporal evolution, structural characteristics, authorship patterns, and citation impact of research on symbolic politics. Design/Methodology/Approach. A descriptive bibliometric analysis was performed on 2,939 documents published from 1950 to 2024 and indexed in Scopus. The study analyzed several factors, including scientific production and growth, document types, source journals, and their distribution using Bradford’s law, authorship and collaboration patterns based on Subramanyam’s index, and citation impact. Quantitative indicators were supplemented with qualitative insights derived from highly cited documents and their main thematic areas. Results/Discussion. The findings indicated a late but rapid acceleration in the consolidation of research on symbolic politics, with nearly three-quarters of publications appearing after 2010. The extant literature was dispersed across a wide array of journals, exhibiting a paucity of concentration of sources and a marked long-tail distribution. The prevailing authorship patterns were predominantly single-authored, though there has been a modest yet perceptible rise in collaborative endeavors in recent years. A thorough citation analysis revealed a highly skewed distribution, with influence concentrated in a small number of broad, interdisciplinary contributions. The relationship between citation impact and publication age was only moderately significant. Conclusions. Symbolic politics has evolved into a conceptually influential yet institutionally decentralized research domain. The study underscores the notion of symbolic politics as a paradigmatic example of how interdisciplinary fields evolve and accrue influence within the contemporary scholarly communication landscape.

Objective. A comprehensive analysis of the scientific production on family and marital status, as indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2001 to 2024, was conducted. This analysis aimed to identify patterns of international and institutional collaboration, as well as the field’s predominant thematic structures. Design/Methodology/Approach. A bibliometric approach was applied to a dataset of 8,457 articles classified under the Family Studies category in the Web of Science Core Collection. To this end, directed networks of country collaboration, institutional collaboration, and keyword co-occurrence were constructed and analyzed using Gephi. The analysis focused on weighted degree, betweenness centrality, and harmonic closeness centrality, while thematic communities were identified through modularity analysis. Results/Discussion. The findings indicated a field characterized by extensive integration within a hierarchical structure. International and institutional collaboration networks exhibited a pronounced centralization around universities and countries in the Global North, particularly the United States. The thematic structure was organized around a stable relational and psychosocial core centered on family, parenting, marriage, and mental health, alongside specialized communities addressing family violence, inequality, gender and sexual diversity, professional intervention, and academic training. Conclusions. The study of family and marital status is a mature and multidimensional field. While the phenomenon of collaboration is becoming increasingly transnational, the distribution of scientific visibility and agenda-setting remains uneven.

Objective. The objective of the study was to provide a comprehensive characterization of the scientific contributions of European Union (EU) within the domain of cultural policy. To this end, a bibliometric analysis was conducted, which facilitated the identification of collaborative patterns among authors, institutions, countries, and thematic clusters within the field. Design/Methodology/Approach. A total of 1,148 documents were retrieved from OpenAlex, encompassing articles and reviews published between 1990 and 2024. A standardized approach was employed, encompassing authors, institutions, countries, and concepts. Indicators of co-authorship, international collaboration, institutional cooperation, and concept co-occurrence were utilized. Results/Discussion. The findings indicated that scientific production was concentrated in specific countries and institutions, with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands serving as key players in the collaboration networks. The primary co-authorship structures were organized into clear clusters, led by Joaquim Rius-Ulldemolins, Kate Oakley, Anita Kangas, and Mariano Martín Zamorano, each centered around particular themes. The institutional network reflected these patterns, while the co-occurrence of concepts highlighted an interdisciplinary field structured around broad thematic areas such as cultural policy, cultural identity, creative industries, and cultural heritage. Conclusions. The study confirms the growth of cultural policy as a research area in Europe, although variations in collaboration and scientific production are evident. Originality/Value. This study provides a comprehensive overview of European research in cultural policy, offering a unique synthesis of analyses from authors, institutions, countries, and concepts derived from an extensive open database. The value of this study lies in its demonstration of the structuring of the socio-intellectual field of cultural policy in the EU, the provision of empirical data for comparative studies, and the strengthening of academic communities in this field.

Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze the evolution, scientific structure, and thematic orientation of research on the transformation of public consciousness in the context of digitalization. The study placed particular emphasis on the emergent role of Kazakhstan and Central Asia in this domain. Design/Methodology/Approach. A bibliometric study was conducted in Scopus using 1,885 documents (2008–2026), integrating performance, impact, productivity, and international collaboration analyses. The cognitive characterization process was executed through the implementation of science mapping in VOSviewer, encompassing the analysis of co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence networks. Results/Discussion. Since 2018, an accelerated growth trend has been evident, accompanied by a polycentric collaboration structure led by the United States, China, and Saudi Arabia, and an increasing Kazakh presence. The thematic analysis identified five principal clusters; however, social values remained peripheral, indicating low theoretical cohesion. Conclusions. The study identifies a rapidly expanding and highly interdisciplinary field, yet one characterized by a fragmented theoretical core and limited articulation between digitalization and social values. The consolidation of regional research agendas in Central Asia, particularly in Kazakhstan, engenders opportunities for the development of integrative theoretical frameworks and cross-cultural comparative studies that can deepen the understanding of how public consciousness is being reconfigured in digitalized societies.

Objetivo. En este estudio se comparó la producción científica de Perú y Ecuador entre 1996 y 2024, analizando su evolución, impacto y crecimiento a partir de indicadores bibliométricos derivados de SCImago Journal & Country Rank. Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque. Se desarrolló un estudio bibliométrico descriptivo y comparativo con enfoque cuantitativo. Los datos se obtuvieron de SCImago en junio de 2025, basado en información de Scopus. Se analizaron indicadores de producción (documentos totales y citables), impacto (citas totales, H-index, citas por documento) y crecimiento (producción anual, tasas de crecimiento, participación mundial y regional). El periodo abarcó 1996-2024 y permitió evaluar tendencias longitudinales vinculadas con reformas científicas e institucionales en ambos países. Resultados/Discusión. Perú presenta una producción acumulada mayor (77 771 documentos) que Ecuador (60 731), así como un impacto más elevado en citas totales, citas por documento e índice H. No obstante, Ecuador experimentó un crecimiento acelerado entre 2016 y 2020, superando temporalmente a Perú en producción anual. A partir de 2021, Perú recuperó y amplió su liderazgo, alcanzando en 2024 una diferencia máxima de 2706 documentos. Ambos países incrementaron su participación en la producción mundial: Perú llegó al 0,26 % y Ecuador al 0,19 % en 2024. Conclusiones. Perú mantiene una ventaja estructural en volumen e impacto científico, mientras que el crecimiento ecuatoriano evidencia un dinamismo notable, aunque menos sostenible en el tiempo. Ambos países han mejorado su presencia internacional, pero requieren políticas estables e inversión sostenida para consolidar su competitividad en el contexto regional y global.

Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific corrections published in Scopus-indexed journals authored by researchers affiliated with Chilean institutions between 2000 and 2024. Methodology. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. A total of 1,204 documents were retrieved from Scopus, which were subsequently included in the study. The errors were then categorized based on their type and impact. Results. Scientific corrections involving authors affiliated with Chilean institutions demonstrated a persistent and substantial increase over time. The most common errors were related to author identification, tables and figures, and typographical issues. Of all the reported cases, 83.47% were classified as trivial, 14.04% as minor, and 1.58% as major. The fields with the highest number of corrections were Physics and Astronomy, Medicine, and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Conclusions. Despite the fact that the proportion of corrections remains low relative to the total number of publications, the steady increase in errata is a cause for concern. It is incumbent upon Chilean scientific institutions to establish clear policies and guidelines to prevent errors in academic publications. Originality and value. This study makes a significant contribution to the existing body of research by addressing the dearth of research in Chile that examines the causes and impacts of scientific corrections. This issue is especially salient in light of Chile’s status as the second most scientifically productive nation in the region.

Objective. The primary objective of this study was to analyze research performance and identify potential future research related to altmetrics in the last decade. Methodology. The dataset employed in this study was derived from the Scopus database. The PRISMA flow diagram was utilized during the data collection phase. The results of the bibliometric analysis were used to describe research performance and extract future work and directions. The method known as scoping review and bibliometric analysis (ScoRBA) was used to achieve these goals. Results. The dataset under consideration encompassed a total of 478 titles, derived from a sample of 93 journals. The Scientometrics journal was the primary source of information disseminating various research results in the field of altmetrics, followed by the Journal of Informetrics. Wang X. was an active and consistent contributor to the field of altmetrics, publishing studies related to the subject between 2015 and 2024. The results of the co-occurrence analysis of author keywords yielded three cluster themes from the altmetrics research. A close examination of the extant literature revealed the emergence of three cluster themes related to altmetrics research: (1) measurement and social impact of research, (2) impact of research through traditional and alternative metrics, and (3) the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and social media in impact analysis and dissemination of research. It was evident that the subjects of social impact and machine learning were intricately intertwined, constituting a multifaceted and evolving research domain characterized by dynamic developments and ongoing advancements. Conclusion. The study concluded that the altmetrics field had reached a stage of maturity, with a shift in focus from exploratory expansion to more in-depth, high-impact studies. In light of these findings, future research should concentrate on expanding data sources, refining tracking methods, and developing more sophisticated AI-driven models that can integrate both traditional and alternative metrics to achieve a truly holistic understanding of research impact.
