COSTA-SANCHEZ, Carmen. In-depth study of the scientific productivity and visibility of Spanish Communication researchers in Scopus. OBS* [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.3, pp.1-16. ISSN 1646-5954.

The present article intends to continue previous studies on the state of the communication research in Spain. An in-depth study of the Spanish Communication researchers in Scopus international database is developed to monitor their productivity and visibility. Results show a limited presence and a low scientific production. In addition it is fragmented in multiple lines of research, it is little collaborative, more national than international, in Spanish and little visible. There is a polarization between two situations: visible full professors and untenured professors, emerging producers but invisible. Attending to gender differences, male researchers produce more papers and they are more visible than women. The creation of interuniversity networks that improve international publication is recommended.

Palavras-chave : research; communication; Scopus; scientific production; scientific communication; Spain.
