In the context of an ongoing research project concerning the scientific constitution of the field of communication studies, this article reviews some national and international approaches on the bibliography presented as foundational, from a diversity of standing points, for this kind of studies. These approaches include both descriptive ("bibliometries") and rather normative ("biblionomies ") perspectives, and serve as a framework for the exploration of empirical data extracted from master s degree theses presented at five mexican universities between 1996 and 2005.
