“…The study of scientific collaboration in LIS in Spanish has been treated in a non-specific way in a number of papers devoted to different characteristics of production in the discipline, either in Hispanic magazines (Jiménez-Contreras and Moya-Anegón 1997;Frías and Romero-Gómez 1998;Cano 1999;Jiménez-Hidalgo 2007) or in conferences (López-Gijón et al 1995).…”

This study analyzes the level of co-authorship of Spanish research in Library and Information Science (LIS) until 2009, the chronological development that has taken place, and the level of local, domestic and international cooperation. This bibliometric study was made using the data retrieved from the Web of Knowledge (WoK) following a dual strategy-on the one hand through the filter of the category Information Science & Library Science, and on the other hand through a subject search. In this way a significant number of works has been retrieved, some of which are in journals indexed in SCI or A&HCI and not in the SSCI. The results show a significant increase in all co-authorship, including publications in English and those involving international collaboration. As with the increase in Spanish participation in social science (WoK), this growth, coupled with the significant increase in Spanish scientific production in the area of LIS, suggests that the discipline in Spain has entered a more mature phase-although so far it has focused particularly on bibliometric studies.

Resumen: Con objeto de obtener datos sobre el grado de desarrollo científico y consolidación de la Biblioteconomía y la Documentación en España, se aborda en este trabajo un análisis de las revistas españolas de Biblioteconomía y Documentación a lo largo de los diez últimos años (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001), fijando la mirada en tres dimensiones directamente relacionadas con su calidad: 1) Grado de cumplimiento de los indicadores de calidad editorial que más influyen sobre la calidad de los contenidos; 2) Nivel de apertura o endogamia de cada una las revistas, medido a través de la composición de los Consejos de Redacción y, sobre todo, de la diversidad de los autores que en ellas publican, con especial referencia a la apertura internacional; 3) Reconocimiento o prestigio que las revistas tienen entre la comunidad cientí-fica y profesional, basada en la valoración de los expertos sobre cada una. El análisis pone de manifiesto, entre otros rasgos: que los indicadores de calidad editorial que más directamente influyen sobre los contenidos se cumplen débilmente; que entre las revistas universitarias se advierten tendencias endogámicas; que la valoración de los especialistas, que permite ordenar las revistas por su grado de reconocimiento 'externo', atribuye posiciones de similar rango a las revistas universitarias y a las 'profesionales', lo que revelaría un, todavía, limitado desarrollo de la investigación universitaria en ByD y confirmaría la inherente vinculación entre investigación y desarrollo en esta área del conocimiento. Palabras clave: Biblioteconomía, Documentación, revistas científicas, evaluación de revistas, indicadores de calidad, valoración de expertos. Abstract:In order to obtain data on the degree of scientific development and consolidation of the Library and Information Science discipline in Spain, an analysis of the Spanish scientific journals of Library and Information Science, during a period of ten years (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001), is approached in this paper. Several dimensions related to their quality are considered: a) Degree of fulfilment of the indicators of publishing quality more influential on the quality of contents; b) level of opening or inbreeding of each journal, measured by the editorial council composition and specially by the author's plurality, with special attention to the foreign authors; c) recognition or prestige of each journal in the scientific or professional community, based upon the 'expert assessment'. The analysis shows, among other characteristics, the following: the publishing quality indicators which are more influential on the quality of contents are weakly fulfilled; inbreeding trends are noticed in the academic journals; 'expert evaluation', ranking the journals according to their recog-

Publications and author cocitations in library and information science in Spain during the period from 1985 to 1994 were analyzed as a measure of the structure, specificity and composition of research fronts in this country. A cocitation matrix developed from an ad hoc database was subjected to cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and principal components analysis, The resulting cocitation maps identified specific areas of r~search and their knowledge bases. We inferred the degree of consolidation of the discipline of library and information science, and of the subdisciplines informetrics, librarianship and university affiliation, from the research activities revealed. In this respect, the conclusions from the study show the existence of several research fronts in Spanish literature the contents of which are in most cases difficult to compare with those in other countries. A lesser degree of maturity of research in this field is shown. IntroductionMo~t researchers are familiar with the authors, specialties, and literature produced in their own field; however, the conceptual and methodological framework that makes it possible to objectively elucidate the structure of different fields of science has been available only since the 1960s. Analyses of these concepts and methods have been aimed at tracing the development of scientific activity and improving its efficiency. The first half of the 1960s saw the establishment of a nexus between the network of relations among scientific papers through references and citations, and the structure of specialities within a given field (Pricel). This relationship led to the development of concepts such as research fronts, invisible colleges, and science maps; current data representation techniques based on multivariate analysis for reducing the number of + To whom correspondence should be addressed.
