The Revista de Historia de América began publication in 1938, thanks to the initiative and tesson of the Mexican historian Silvio Zavala, and the support of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History. This article is part of a major research project that analyzes the first ten years of the journal. It aims to be a contribution to the studies of cultural journals from a methodological perspective that opens up new ways of understanding this object of study. Its main contribution lies in exposing the way in which a publication was analyzed and the intellectual networks that made it possible through datification, a term by which we refer to the way in which relational scaffolding of significant data was built, for recombination and subsequent integration.

Palabras llave : Revista de Historia de América; networks; datification; quantitive methods.
