English abstract
In this study, the intellectual structure of the Iberoamerican research on Library and Information Science was visualized, from the perspective of journal citation relations. In addition, the core journals that most influence intellectual structure were identified. The study had a comparative emphasis since data from Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection were used. Journal co-citation maps were generated to identify the journal communities. Strategic diagrams with citation and betweenness centrality measures were also generated to identify core, under development, and peripheral journals. The results showed that the intellectual structure is fragmented into communities that respond to the geographic context and language affinity. Only two journals are considered core, El Profesional de la Información and Ciência da Informação. In general, there was not much difference in the comparative analyzes between the two databases. Complementary studies are necessary to show which epistemic factors influence the current fragmentation of the intellectual structure of the Library and Information Science research in the region.

Neste estudo, foi visualizada a estrutura intelectual da pesquisa em Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação na América Latina, sob a ótica das citações de periódicos. Além disso, foram identificados os principais periódicos que mais influenciam a estrutura intelectual. O estudo teve uma ênfase comparativa, uma vez que foram usados dados da Scopus e da Web of Science Core Collection. Mapas de cocitação de revistas foram elaborados e permitiram a identificação das comunidades de revistas. Diagramas estratégicos com medidas de citação e centralidade de intermediação também foram gerados para identificar periódicos centrais, em desenvolvimento e periféricos. Os resultados mostraram que a estrutura intelectual está fragmentada em comunidades que respondem ao contexto geográfico e à afinidade linguística. Apenas duas revistas são consideradas centrais: El Profesional de la Información e Ciência da Informação. Em geral, não houve muita diferença nas análises comparativas entre as duas bases de dados. Estudos complementares são necessários para mostrar quais fatores epistêmicos influenciam a atual fragmentação da estrutura intelectual da Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação na região ibero-americana.
