English abstract

This paper analyzes the scientific production on the COVID-19 effect in the area of Information Sciences from a bibliometric perspective. The objectives focused on: 1) determining the most productive authors, countries, institutions and journals; 2) identifying the sources that constitute the core of scientific production; 3) examining the manuscripts with the greatest impact; and 4) visualizing the thematic and conceptual structure of the scientific domain analyzed. Bibliometric indicators and factor analysis techniques were used for data analysis. A total of 1,175 publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) core collection from 2020 to 2022 were retrieved. The results showed that the most relevant countries were the United States, United Kingdom, China and Spain. The core of the scientific production was formed by the publications: Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Information Professional, Scientometrics and Journal of Health Communication. The papers with the greatest impact were concentrated in those dedicated to the analysis of the role of telemedicine in medical care. The conceptual structure showed the main research fronts, such as the role of telehealth, academic libraries and digital literacy in the fight against the pandemic, the role of social networks in the health crisis, as well as the problem of misinformation and fake news.

En este trabajo se analiza la producción científica sobre el efecto COVID-19 en el área de las Ciencias de la Información desde una perspectiva bibliométrica. Los objetivos se centraron en: 1) determinar los autores, países, instituciones y revistas más productivas; 2) identificar las fuentes que constituyen el núcleo de la producción científica; 3) examinar los manuscritos con mayor impacto y 4) visualizar la estructura temática y conceptual del dominio científico analizado. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizaron indicadores bibliométricos y técnicas de análisis factorial. Se recuperó un total de 1,175 publicaciones indexadas en la colección central de Web of Science (WoS) desde 2020 hasta 2022. Los resultados mostraron que los países más relevantes fueron Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, China y España. El núcleo de la producción científica estuvo formado por las publicaciones: Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Profesional de la Información, Scientometrics y Journal of Health Communication. Los documentos con mayor impacto se concentraron en los trabajos dedicados al análisis de la función de la telemedicina en la atención médica. La estructura conceptual mostró los principales frentes de investigación, tales como la función de la telesalud, las bibliotecas académicas y la alfabetización digital en la lucha contra la pandemia, el papel de las redes sociales en la crisis sanitaria, así como el problema de la desinformación y las noticias falsas.
