English abstract

The paper analyzes the presence, activity, visibility and interdisciplinarity of 349 Library and Information Science (LIS) faculty on social media, in order to find possible gender differences. Data were obtained between April and June 2018 from ResearchGate (RG), Google Scholar Citations (GSC), and Twitter, and the population studied corresponded to LIS faculty affiliated to 13 Spanish universities. Different variables were analyzed for the four dimensions, including, among others, the number of documents uploaded to RG and the number of tweets, replies and retweets on Twitter for the activity, along with the percentage of open access documents and of documents differing from traditional genres on RG and the number of followers and followees on Twitter for visibility. Results point out differences between the two groups, especially in terms of visibility.

Spanish abstract

Se estudia la presencia, actividad, visibilidad e interdisciplinaridad de 349 profesoras y profesores de Documentación en los medios sociales, para comprobar si existen diferencias entre los dos conjuntos. Las plataformas estudiadas incluyen ResearchGate (RG), Google Scholar Citations (GSC), y Twitter, y la población analizada corresponde al profesorado de 13 universidades españolas que ofertan formación en Biblioteconomía y Documentación. Los datos se recogieron entre abril y junio de 2018. Para las cuatro dimensiones de estudio se analizaron diferentes variables, incluyendo, entre otros, el número de documentos subidos a RG y el número de tweets, respuestas y retweets en, Twitter para la actividad, y el porcentaje de documentos en acceso abierto y de documentos diferentes a los géneros tradicionales en RG y el número de seguidores y seguidoras por perfil en Twitter para la visibilidad. Los resultados apuntan a diferencias entre los dos colectivos, especialmente acentuadas en términos de visibilidad.
