Producción Científica

In this article, we analyze the scientific production on public television disclosed between 2001 and 2019 in the Web of Science databases, characterizing the metadata information, and identifying media studies, traditions of communication theories and methodologies with content analyses. 202 articles were found that correspond to 1% of total publications with the keyword “television”, this show the gap in public television studies. The results demonstrate a centralization of knowledge in Spain and United States. Regions as Latin America, Asia and Oceania have a low participation. Finally, scholars have been interested in the production processes analyzed from the sociocultural tradition.

This article presents the report of an empirical investigation on scientific production in Education using bibliometric and scientometric data analyzed based on concepts created by Pierre Bourdieu for the sociology of science with the help of a historical and philosophical framework. Using metadata from more than 6000 theses defended between 1996 and 2016 in postgraduate education programs in Brazil, a map of the Social Hierarchy of Objects in the field of Education was generated. We also tried to empirically test the statement about research in Education that there was a loss of the object of research in Education in postmodernity and the importance in terms of scientific capital of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC). The data showed that the hierarchy of objects is very fragmented but with a nucleus that concentrates a lot of scientific capital and that this concentration grew with the field. Which can be explained by the high degree of heteronomy of the field and post-modernity phenomena. It was possible to map that there are objects that bring more return of scientific capital: the teacher and his/her formation. Therefore, there was no loss of the object. It was also possible to observe that words related to digital technologies grew in scientific capital and became part of the core in the hierarchy of objects in the field at the beginning of the 21st century. Digital technologies are part of the core of the Social Hierarchy of Objects in the field of Education, mainly related to Distance Education.

The present article exposes the results of the metric analysis applied to the scientific production of the works of diploma on the radio, in the careers of Social Communication and Journalism, respectively, that between 2013-2018 were realized in the Faculty of Communication of the University of Havana. Some theoretical aspects are exposed on the concept of diploma work that governs higher education in Cuba, in relation to the situation of radio research, as well as historical elements on the development of bibliometric studies. One-dimensional and multidimensional bibliometric indicators are used. The first ones include productivity by career, by years, by tutors and by keywords, and among the latter, the co-occurrence of keywords and collaboration in tutoring. The tools used in the data processing are concentrated in the bibliographic manager EndNote X7, Microsoft Excel 2013, Bibexcel version 2016 and Gephi 0.9.2. The measurement shows that the radio has a very discreet increase as a center of interest in the research of the Faculty. It is necessary to draw up strategies that broaden its presence in the field of research and deepen its knowledge, taking into consideration that as a means of communication it still coexists with others despite the transformations that society experiences in information and communication technologies and to which it adapts.
