Análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica en el campo de la natación (Bibliometric Analysis of Scientific Production in the Swimming Field)

Abstract

Los avances de la literatura científica en el campo del deporte han generado una tendencia creciente al desarrollo de la producción académica, el propósito de este artículo se centra en analizar la producción científica entre el periodo de 1960-2021 en el ámbito de la natación, a partir de la construcción de un análisis bibliométrico en la base de datos Scopus. Las ecuaciones de búsqueda se centraron en DECS (Descriptores en ciencias de la salud), con los descriptores: nadadores, swimmers male, swimming, natación carreras. Se evidencian un aumento en la producción de documentos científicos en el periodo de 2010-2020; dentro de la investigación se dio a conocer que el 86% de los documentos son de artículos de investigación, donde el 84% de estos estudios se encuentra en el ámbito de salud y fisiología deportiva, y el 6% son documentos de revisión; predominando EE.UU. y el Reino Unido como principales elaboradores de información y estudios en natación en los últimos 10 años. Palabras claves: producción académica, bibliométrico, natación, literatura científica. Abstract. Advances in the scientific literature in the field of sports have generated a growing trend towards the development of academic production, which is why this article focuses on analyzing scientific production between the period 1960-2021 in the field of sport. Swimming, from the construction of a bibliometric analysis in the Scopus database. The search equations focused on DECS (Descriptors in Health Sciences), with the descriptors: swimmers, swimmers male, swimming, swimming races. There is evidence of increase in the production of scientific documents in the period 2010-2020; Within the investigation, it was revealed that 86% of the documents are research articles, where 84% of these studies are in the field of health and sports physiology, and 6% are review documents; predominating the USA and the United Kingdom as the main producers of information and studies in swimming in the last 10 years. Keywords: academic production, bibliometric, swimming, scientific literature.

Bibliometric analysis of plyometrics in sport: 40 years of scientific production

“…Meanwhile, the analysis of the 29 primary journals that have published research on plyometrics and its relationship with sports positions the United States, Switzerland, Italy, and the United Kingdom as the countries with the highest scientific production. This is similar to the scientific production in swimming (Orejuela Aristizabal et al, 2023) and in contrast to the scientific making in team sports, where it was found that the countries producing the most knowledge are Spain, Brazil, and the United States (Mamani-Jilaja et al, 2023).…”

Scientific production on the relative age effect in sport: bibliometric analysis of the last 9 years (2015-2023)

“…Of the total number of papers (100%) 18 countries were evaluated in Europe (64.28%), three in South America (10.71%), three in North America (10.71%), three in Asia (10.71%), and only one in Oceania (3.57%). Therefore, the cooperation established between countries helps to direct the focus of the studies (Ntozis et al, 2021;Orejuela Aristizabal, 2023). All this demonstrates the tendency of certain countries and continents to show research interest in specific topics relevant to the study of sport, such as the effect of the RAE.…”

“…One of these processes is the study of the relative age effect (RAE) in sports, which has been well documented (Coble et al, 2009b;Musch & Grondin, 2000;Till et al, 2010). Considering this, there are several bibliometric studies on scientific production related to sports, among them are collective sports (Mamani-Jilaja et al, 2023;Martínez-Benítez & Becerra-Patiño, 2023), swimming (Orejuela Aristizabal, Cardona Orejuela & Rengifo Cruz, 2023), badminton (Blanca-Torres et al, 2019), women's soccer (Adan et al, 2020), futsal (Palazón, Ortega & García-Angulo, 2015), sport and exercise psychology (Coimbra et al, 2022;Rodríguez & Ibarzábal, 2018), Olympic sport sciences on summer and winter Olympic sports (Millet, Brocherie & Burtscher, 2021).…”
