Spanish Scientific Production Research Articles

A systematic review of Spanish academic production in the field of social work

Summary This article is a systematic review of the Spanish scientific production in social work hosted in the Web of Science. Findings The article analyzes the current state of social work research in Spain. Since the creation of the European Higher Education Area, Spanish social work has had to meet university research requirements, including the publication of papers in journals indexed in the world's leading databases. Spanish scientific production is analyzed from its beginnings until 2020. The main findings were that most of such research that was published by Spanish social work academic was in Spanish, while other categories of authors, such as nonsocial work Spanish academic, publish more in English. Spanish-language journals were mostly indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), while those in English were in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) or Scopus, consistently receiving few citations. Women as main authors exceeded men in percentages of indexed articles. Bibliometric quality measures constructed with Scopus were slightly better than those with JCR. The most developed topics in the area were general and transversal issues such as immigration, social services, social intervention, and social policies. Applications The study demonstrates to Spanish social work researchers that they have greater likelihood of obtaining better quality indexes if they publish in English in JCR- and Scopus-indexed journals, resulting in enhanced academic career visibility.

Spanish research on Communication in WoS: thematic, methodological, and intellectual comparison between SSCI and ESCI

This study analyses the thematic and conceptual structure of the Spanish scientific production published in Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science) journals. In this way, the aim is to identify the closest links between concepts and terms based on the co-occurrence of keywords used by the authors of the papers analysed, and also to point out the theoretical foundations that exist in the discipline through the co-citation relationships of articles in the bibliography of the documents in the sample. Finally, these results were compared with those obtained from the analysis of Spanish scientific production in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). To achieve these objectives, a network analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation of references in articles published in Communication journals between 2015 and 2021 in ESCI (N = 3,559) and SSCI (N = 1,738) with at least one author linked to a Spanish institution was carried out. The results point to similar structural cohesion values and to a thematic and methodological similarity between both sets observed. There is a marked tendency towards quantitative studies on new technologies. While in SSCI there is an almost absolute dominance of Journalism studies, in ESCI there is a greater diversity of other disciplines such as Audiovisual Communication or Advertising. However, the intellectual structure of the production in SSCI reflects a more specialised character than in ESCI.

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Spanish Scientific Production on Teaching Oral Communication Between 2010 and 2020

This research paper aims to analyse the visibility, scientific production and educational impact of teaching spoken language between 2010 and 2020 by using bibliometric techniques. The Scopus and Web of Science databases have been used in order to carry out the study. We have selected articles published in journals included in the thematic category of Teaching Oral Communication in the decade 2010-2020. Out of 2677 articles, only 457 offer relevant data for our analysis, and of these, no more than 155 documents are written by Spanish authors. The lack of articles on this topic seems obvious, which consequently leads to the conclusion that there is a high need to conduct rigorous research on the subject and design educational models that allow teachers to implement efficient didactic methods and strategies when teaching oral communication in the current Spanish educational system.

Trend in Spanish cardiology research and global comparative analysis of major topics

Introduction and objectivesWe used bibliometric techniques to analyze the participation of Spanish institutions in research on major cardiovascular topics during the last 4 decades. MethodsBibliometric indicators of production, collaboration and impact were obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database. Search strategies were used in major topics and institutional collaboration networks were identified, represented using the Kamada-Kawai algorithm. ResultsGlobal cardiovascular publications doubled from 2000 to 2018. In 2018, those by Spanish authors represented 2.33%, with a participation of between 7% and 1.84%, depending on the topics analyzed. The offset with respect to global production was between 0 and 7 years. Annual growth rates were higher in more recent topics. Revista Española de Cardiología published the largest number of articles from Spanish institutions. The journals generating the highest number of citations in the chosen topics were the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Europace, and the European Heart Journal. Analysis of collaboration revealed a close interrelation between Spanish and foreign institutions, as well as groups with high production publishing independently. ConclusionsThe analysis disaggregated by subject showed the sustained growth of Spanish cardiovascular scientific production and more rapid growth in recently appearing topics. Collaboration networks showed a high degree of interrelation between Spanish and foreign institutions, including hospitals, universities, research institutes, and scientific societies.

Análisis bibliométrico de la investigación en cyberbullying en España o junto a otros países .

The aim of this study was to analyze trends in cyberbullying research conducted in Spain by researchers in Spain or together with other countries in the decade 2007-2016, through bibliometric analysis of Spanish scientific production. The sample to be analyzed constituted of 178 papers. The results indicated a progressive growth of productivity levels, with 2015 being the most prolific year of that decade. The highest number of articles focuses on high school students of both sexes analogously to what has been the study of bullying. Most of the articles were published in multidisciplinary journals, and were signed by three or fewer authors. They showed a clear predominance of non-experimental methodology, with the use of questionnaires or other types of instruments. There was a lack of research on the contexts within which cyberbullying occurs and research on university students.

Mapa bibliométrico de la investigación realizada en atención primaria en España durante el periodo 2013-2017

ObjectiveTo describe the Spanish scientific production of primary care during 2013-2017 and analyze their geographical distribution, impact factor, areas of research and involvement of different institutional sectors. DesignObservational study bibliometric. ParticipantsThe study focused on publications indexed in Medline. Main measurementsJournal and year of publication, first/last author, workplace and autonomous community. Later, articles were classified according to their content. The impact factor was obtained from the basis of bibliometric analysis Journal Citation Reports. ResultsUsing search criteria, were selected 980 documents. The transiency rate was 78,8%. The highest proportion of articles (43.2%) came from health centers, but we observed an increase of the articles from units or research institutes (14.9% in 2013, 19.1% in 2017). Of the total, 63.3% were classified as “clinical aspects”, 19.3% were published in the journal Atención Primaria, 40.6% in foreign journals and 72.4% in journals with impact factor, being this proportion significantly lower (p <0.001) in those coming from health centers (59.6%) or teaching units/management/health services (70.0%) with respect to those originated in research units/institutes (93.1%) or in universities (89.0%). In relation to population (articles/100.000 inhab.), the most productive communities were Cataluña (4.2), Aragón (3.9), e Islas Baleares (3.3). ConclusionsIn primary care publications there is great diversity in both research areas such as in journals where published. Most are from health centers, treat clinical aspects and published in Spanish journals. Differences in the volume of scientific production between regions are observed.

¿Cómo investigamos la comunicación en España? Universidades públicas y privadas en las publicaciones científicas de comunicación españolas (1990-2014)

En los últimos 25 años, la investigación de la comunicación española ha sufrido una serie de cambios de contexto social e institucional que sitúan esta disciplina en un camino de convergencia hacia modelos académicos internacionales. Procesos como la consolidación de las Facultades de Comunicación como centros para la docencia y la investigación, la acreditación por parte de agencias estatales de esta actividad docente e investigadora, y la incorporación en sus planes de estudio al EEES influyen de manera determinante en los cambios en cultura científica experimentados. Para el análisis de dichos cambios en la disciplina, la metainvestigación de la producción científica generada por las revistas especializadas se ha consolidado en los últimos años como línea de investigación preferente, por cuanto las revistas deben ser consideradas como marco institucional propio para los profesionales de la investigación. Este trabajo propone un estudio de la producción científica española en comunicación de los últimos 25 años en cinco de las principales revistas de referencia, para observar los objetos de estudio, las modalidades de investigación y las técnicas y métodos dominantes. Los resultados muestran una tendencia general hacia un estudio, cada vez más sistemático y empírico, del periodismo mediante técnicas cuantitativas. Sin embargo, revelan diferencias en las prácticas investigadoras entre autores de universidades públicas y privadas por lo que respecta a una relativa mayor diversificación de intereses de conocimiento en los centros privados y en los públicos de nueva creación, y a una apuesta más decidida por la estandarización metodológica en las universidades públicas.

Análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica española, indizada en MEDLINE, sobre servicios de atención a domicilio provisto por hospital

Objetivo: Analizar la producción científica española, indizada en MEDLINE, sobre servicios de atención a domicilio provisto por hospital.Método: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Se calcularon y analizaron, mediante técnica bibliométrica, los principales indicadores sobre producción científica. La búsqueda se realizó en la base de datos bibliográfica MEDLINE, a través de PubMed, mediante la construcción de una ecuación final por unión booleana de los filtros previamente testados en la literatura científica. La fecha de realización de la búsqueda fue mayo de 2017.Resultados: De la consulta realizada se obtuvieron un total de 105 referencias. El año más productivo fue el 2009 con 11 artículos. La tipología documental más frecuente fue el artículo original con 91 documentos (96,7%) siendo el Índice de Productividad de 1,96. La evolución de las publicaciones fue ascendente, ajustándose a un modelo lineal, dando un coeficiente de determinación R2 = 0,96 y p &lt; 0,001. La edad de los documentos analizados fue de 9,1 ± 0,5 años, con mediana de 8 años. Se identificaron trabajos publicados de 73 instituciones como primer firmante (de un total de 99).Conclusión: El artículo original es la principal tipología documental en la producción científica sobre Hospital a Domicilio con filiación española, con obsolescencia superior a la de otras áreas de las ciencias de la salud. La coautoría –media de autores firmantes– es baja, no existiendo grandes grupos de investigación interinstitucionales.

Estudio bibliométrico sobre la investigación en publicidad en España: temáticas, investigadores, redes y centros de producción (1980-2015)

Este artículo aborda la producción científica sobre publicidad en España a partir del análisis bibliométrico de los artículos publicados en las revistas científicas de comunicación españolas entre 1980 y 2015; a partir de una muestra de 1.050 artículos de 80 revistas. Se caracterizó formal y temáticamente esa producción científica, se identificaron y caracterizaron los autores y centros de producción, se analizaron las coautorías y se identificaron las redes de investigación. Los resultados muestran una evolución muy positiva de la investigación sobre publicidad desde el punto de vista cuantitativo, si bien también confirman algunos problemas que cuestionan su madurez: la escasa internacionalización, el bajo nivel de colaboración científica y la ausencia de una red de investigación cohesionada. Aunque no es un estudio sobre el conjunto de la investigación publicitaria, este trabajo sobre los patrones de publicación en las revistas científicas -principal canal de difusión de la ciencia en la actualidad- contribuye a un mejor conocimiento del mapa de la investigación sobre publicidad en España durante las cuatro últimas décadas.

Evolución de las redes científicas y grupos de investigación. El caso de la psicología educativa en España durante los quinquenios 2004-2008 y 2009-2013.

A comparative study of groups and their composition over the five-year periods 2004-2008 and 2009-2013 was performed. The results indicated that there is an increase in the number of researchers and research groups working in the field of educational psychology, which is accompanied by an increase in the number of items, although in some cases the increase in the number of members in the group does not correspond to a significant increase in scientific production. It is noticeable the incorporation of a greater number of Spanish journals in the Web of Science, as are those that concentrate most of the scientific production in this discipline and are responsible to influence growth in the foundation data from the Web of Science of the Spanish scientific production in educational psychology.&lt;/span&gt;

Contribution of Anales de Pediatría to the international visibility of Spanish paediatric research in the Web of Science (2010–2014)

Abstract Objective To describe the role of Anales de Pediatria in highlighting Spanish paediatric research, and to identify the journals with which it competes internationally. Material and method Spanish paediatric articles, including those from Anales de Pediatria were identified using the Paediatrics category of the Science Citation Index (2010–2014), and their volume and document type was analysed. For original articles and review articles, the year, the citation and journal of publication was studied. The journals were classified as general and specialised. The productivity of general journals was analysed according to their language, JCR quartile, and article access. Results A total of 2701 Spanish paediatric papers were identified, accounting for 2.8% of the paediatrics world output. More than two-thirds (68%) of papers were articles that received an average number of 4.97 citations per article. The 965 papers published in Anales de Pediatria accounted for 38.7% of the Spanish paediatric output, and for 1% of the paediatric world publications. A mean of 1.03 citations per article were received for 439 (45.4%) articles and reviews. Of the 106 journals identified, 82 were classified as specialised (1196 articles) and 24 as general (741 articles). Anales de Pediatria published 60% of the articles in general journals. The rest of articles (309) were published in general journals published in English (82.8%), with a best position in the JCR ranking (83.4%) and mainly by subscription (73.8%). Conclusions Anales de Pediatria plays an important role in providing international visibility to a large volume of Spanish scientific production in paediatrics.

EL IMPACTO BIBLIOMÉTRICO DEL MOVIMIENTO MOOC EN LA COMUNIDAD CIENTÍFICA ESPAÑOLA

Spain was in 2013 the leading European country in MOOC course offeringsand is in a leading position worldwide in the number of massive courses offered in 2014 This prolific activity is being transferred to the educational and scientific world in the form of posts in blogs, social networks and web pages, as well as scientific papers and books that attempt to analyze the movement from different methodological approaches. To date there is not any research that analyzes the bibliometric impact of MOOC movement in the Spanish scientific community. Therefore the objective of this research is to perform a bibliometric study of the scientific impact in the form of scientific article or research book in journals and Spanish publishers from January 2010 to June 2014. The study was approached from a descriptive and quantitative methodology taking as reference bibliometric indicators of production, number of citations, and indicators of visibility according to their impact on different databases: Wos / Social Science Citation Index, Scopus, In-Recs, Google Scholar and categorization of Spanish scientific journals (ANEP / FECYT). The results show that the impact of the Spanish scientific production in form of book and scientific article in prestigious international databases (Wos-SSCI / Scopus) is very low, although the national impact categorization according to ANEP / FECYT and In-Recs is moderately high.

Evolución de la producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España entre1966 y 2013

Objetivos: Conocer la evolución y visibilidad internacional de la producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. Conocer cuáles son las Universidades españolas que más producción científica tienen sobre la historia de la enfermería española durante el periodo de estudio. Comparar la producción científica sobre historia de la enfermería en países anglosajones y España.&lt;br /&gt;Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte cualitativo a través de una revisión integrativa. Se utilizó como recurso secundario: Sciverse Scopus. Base de datos que incluye otras bases. Se incluyeron aquellos documentos que versaran sobre historia de la enfermería.&lt;br /&gt;Resultados: La producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España no se muestra como uno de los campos de mayor interés para la investigación (10,80%). La Universidad de Alicante se muestra como la Universidad Española con más producción en historia de la enfermería. Existe una clara diferencia en la producción científica sobre historia de la enfermería entre países anglosajones y España.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusiones: España es el decimo país en producción científica de historia de la enfermería de un total de ciento cuatro incluidos en la base de datos. La producción científica española sobre historia de la enfermería sigue siendo modesta, comparada con los países anglosajones Existen sesgo sobre el estudio de la historia de la enfermería en una base de datos internacionales como es Sciverse Scopus. La no inclusión de revistas como Hiades (de dedicación exclusiva al estudio de la historia de enfermería) o la indexación parcial de bases de datos como Index (incluida sólo desde el año 2007) puede ser la causa
