| Sumario: | Introduction: Research journals form the core of the field of knowledge of a scientific discipline. In the case of profession-oriented disciplines, some “not-as-scientific-as-others” journals also define this core. Objectives: To Describe thematic profiles by journal and country from the analysis of articles of Latin American Librarianship and Information Science (LIS) journals in Spanish language (2008-2016), and to detect local trends and identify areas of vacancy. Methodology: Through a basic quantitative analysis, Latin American LIS Journals are characterized for the period indicated. A database with the articles of the publications identified is made. Results: A total of 28 journal titles and 2388 articles have been collected. Disparity between countries is identified in the quantities of titles and articles. No significant thematic trends are identified by subregion. |
