PINEIRO-NAVAL, Valeriano  y  MORAIS, Ricardo. Politics as a topic of study in Hispanic communication journals. Convergencia [online]. 2020, vol.27, e14684.  Epub 17-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v27i0.14684.

The goal of this paper is to observe the relationship between the areas of communication and politics, particularly exploring the way academic production has been verified by this intersection. Thus, we analyze how the articles published in the main Hispanic communication journals adopt the subject of politics over the five-year period 2013-2017. Through a methodological procedure that combines bibliometric analysis with meta-research, we collected data on the objects of study, the theories or the empirical techniques used in the 167 manuscripts comprised in the sample. The main results indicate an increasing trend in the annual number of publications and its consequent impact. From an operational point of view, the authors frequently turn to framing theory and content analysis to address political issues that are increasingly reported on social media.

Palabras llave : communication; politics; meta-research; academic articles; Hispanic journals.
