Abstract

In this paper we survey scientific production published in Ibero American journals in four subject areas: Medicine, Education, Administration & Finance, and Psychology during the period between 1997 and mid-2013, based on data from Redalyc. Two aspects are analysed, firstly we conduct a Bradford analysis of the journals in question and identify those journals condense the majority of relevant articles for a researcher in that particular field. Secondly, by applying tools from network analysis, we map the collaboration networks, per country, of researchers publishing in Ibero America.

Keywords: Network analysis, Collaboration network, Ibero America, Core journals, Bradford zones, Bradford multiplier, Redalyc, Bibliographic databases, Editorial process
