A 35-year Journey: The Transformation of the Journal Comunicación y Sociedad and the Field of Communication Studies Through a Hemerographic Analysis

Abstract

Thirty-five years after the first issue of the journal Comunicación y Sociedad was published, a statistical and hemerometric systematization of what has been produced and published during those three and a half decades was carried out with the aim of presenting a revisionist perspective of the changes, challenges and agendas faced by the academic field of communication during that period. As a central part of the results, we report the greater internationalization of CyS, the prominence of Spain, as a pool of collaborators and institutions, which continues to maintain a leading place in scientific production, while collaborations from Latin American countries, as well as between authors, institutions and research traditions, increase and are renewed in the new comparative period. Also as the increasing presence of research on digital culture.
