Bogarín Pozo, Illia 2014-06-01 Dissemination of scientific knowledge is a key issue of both culture and social development and studying aspects of refereed journals can cast light on important problems, including those that may hinder the regular editing of such publications. This study used three types of academic genres and it had three objectives: first, to identify possible causes of the demise of the Venezuelan university journal “Pedagogía” during the 1980s; second, to learn about aspects of the context of the journal’s editing during such period; and third, to devise ways to avoid a new interruption of the publication. Journal editorials between 1971 and 2011, university school council actae between 1983 and 1989, plus answers to semi-structured interviews to key informants, all of which rendered a total of 83 texts, were analyzed. After the analysis, results show that the possible causes of the journal’s interruption are attributed mostly to an amalgam of factors grouped under the category of “other factors”, above the economic and administrative ones. The analysis seems to unveil beliefs and ideologies that originate and develop within the particular community. It is concluded that the specific topic of scientific communication here investigated is part of the organization’s culture within the particular society in which our centers of higher learning interact. La diseminación del conocimiento científico es un aspecto clave de la cultura y del desarrollo social. Estudiar las revistas especializadas puede arrojar luz acerca de importantes problemas, como los que impiden la edición de dichas publicaciones. Este estudio utiliza tres tipos de textos para, primero, identificar posibles causas de la falta de publicación de la revista especializada venezolana “Pedagogía” durante la década de 1980; segundo, conocer la coyuntura de la época en el contexto de producción de dicha revista y, tercero, señalar vías para evitar una nueva desaparición. Se analizaron editoriales entre los años 1971 y 2011, actas del Consejo de Escuela entre 1983 y 1989, así como respuestas a entrevistas semi-estructuradas a personajes claves, lo cual dio un total de 83 segmentos textuales. Tras el análisis de dichos segmentos, los resultados señalan como causas de desaparición a un complejo de factores agrupados bajo la categoría de “otros factores”, por encima de los económicos y los administrativos. El estudio perece develar creencias e ideologías de la comunidad universitaria en particular. Se concluye que el tema de información científica investigado se inscribe dentro de la cultura organizacional en el marco de la sociedad particular donde se desenvuelven los centros de saber. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/666 10.34096/ics.i30.666 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/666/1050 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 30 (2014); 59-78 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 30 (2014); 59-78 1851-1740 1514-8327 Refereed journals scientific communication higher education academic discourse Venezuela Revistas especializadas comunicación científica educación superior discurso académico Venezuela.
