MARTINEZ GARCIA, Luisa del Carmen  y  CAPOANO, Edson. Bibliometric Study on Quality Journalism in the Scopus Database: Evolution of the Topic and Characteristics. Comunicação e Sociedade [online]. 2023, vol.44, e023024.  Epub 31-Dic-2023. ISSN 1645-2089.  https://doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.44(2023).4751.

This article uses a term search to describe how academic work on the relationship between journalism and quality has evolved. It relies on a bibliometric study and content analysis of the Scopus database. Using the VOSviewer tool, this article presents automated analyses of the Scopus system and network maps that pertain to article terms. The goal is to outline scientific production’s features and the impact of research on quality journalism identifying emerging trends in this research area. The study sample consists of 971 research articles published between 1939 and 2022, specifically focusing on social sciences articles across various languages, indexed in Scopus.

The findings suggest a rising interest in journalism quality within analysed scientific journals, especially in the 21st century, predominantly in Western countries, despite a growing trend in Eastern countries. The United States is the primary source for articles, citations, and first authors. Additionally, the three journals publishing most on journalism quality are of Anglo-Saxon origin. Research clusters are developed on the object of study outside this axis, led by Spanish and Portuguese scientific production. The bibliometric analysis also shows the evolution of topics related to journalism quality.

Palabras clave : journalism quality; Scopus; bibliometric study; content analysis.
