English abstract

The aim of this study is to make an analysis of the citation networks between the Spanish Social Science journals using the citations index IN-RECS. Different maps were generated representing the overall structure of Social Sciences and a specifi c analysis of Library and Information Science was conducted. The indicator betweeness was used as a measure of interdisciplinarity. The results reveal the existence of two main clusters, one formed by the Psychology and the Education and other with a prominent location of the Economics and the Political Science; Sociology is the main connexion between the two clusters. The journals with the highest rate of betweeness were Revista de Educación and Papeles de Economía. The Library and Information Science appears in a marginal side of the different maps. Revista Española de Documentación Científica is the most relevant journal with the largest betweeness rate due to its significant relationships with international journals. The results show that IN-RECS is a useful tool for the structural study of the Spanish Social Sciences.

Spanish abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un análisis de las redes de citación entre revistas españolas de ciencias sociales empleando el índice de citas IN-RECS. Se han generado diferentes mapas representando la estructura general de las ciencias sociales y se llevó a cabo un análisis específi co del área de Biblioteconomía y Documentación(ByD). Asimismo se empleó el indicador de Intermediación como medida de interdisciplinariedad. Los resultados revelan la existencia de dos clusters. Uno dominado por la Psicología y la Educación y otro donde dominan, principalmente, la Economía y la Ciencia Política, entre ambos clusters actúa de interfaz la Sociología. Las revistas con mayor índice de intermediación son la Revista de Educación y Papeles de Economía. La ByD aparece en un lugar marginal de los grafos, dentro de esta especialidad destaca la Revista Española de Documentación Científica con la mayor intermediación debido a sus relaciones con revistas internacionales. Los resultados ponen de manifi esto la utilidad de IN-RECS como fuente de información para el estudio estructural de las ciencias sociales españolas.
