Producción Científica

Today we live in an era of constant technological development, where the use of social media is essential to have a greater reach to people. This study performs a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on social media in libraries in Ibero-America indexed in the Scopus database during the period 2007-2021. For this purpose, 76 publications were analyzed according to indicators of production, collaboration, impact and thematic structural analysis. Results show that scientific production about social media in libraries has had irregular growth during this period; Spanish authors and journals have higher productivity; publications in better positioned journals from the U.S. or the U.K. have greater impact; and there is a low level of scientific collaboration. In addition, studies focused on university or academic libraries predominate, although they are also applied to all type of libraries.

As a significant field of study, thirty-five years of strategic management research has accumulated a substantial amount of knowledge. This bibliometric study explores whether the unlimited flow of knowledge and the globalization of education & research in this time period, could drive away (or deter) the identification and specific interest of research in phenomena of national importance. Using bibliometric techniques and visualization of similarities (VOS) procedures of citation and co-citation analyses, this Paper explores research trends at the country level over 35 years using data from the Web of Science database. The aims are to identify: 1) the most visible and prominent actors at the country, regional, and global-level; 2) the evolution of the subjects of research into strategic management at the country, global, and supra-regional level; and 3) the evolution of journals publishing strategic management research articles by location. Findings suggest that common research subjects coexist at higher levels of aggregation, establishing the “paradigm” or general agreement about the field’s boundaries. Additionally, findings show that at the country level, rather than following a global trend, there is an enduring diversification of research agendas that bow to national and supranational factors from geographically close places.
