Abstract
Although journalism has an important social impact, with contributions from multiple
academic and professional fields, one can perceive a major deficit in terms of applying
scientometric analyses that allow for an objective multidimensional radiography of
scientific production, the identification of transnational collaboration networks and the
revelation of the position of the different countries. This work evaluated the evolution
of national scientific domains of the discipline during the period 2003–2009, constructing
a first relationships map that goes beyond the quantitative plane of production to reveal
the dynamics and socio-political and geographical context of alliances in Journalism
research. Scientific production in journalism increased during this period much faster
than world scientific production. Three countries really capitalized the research: the
United States, the United Kingdom and Spain generated more than half of the total
production, while at the same time being those that determined the entire structure
of relationships involving the linguistic, geopolitical and sociocultural (linked with
professional and work practices) factors.
