Presence and visibility of Spanish literature in four Brazilian library journals, documentation and information science: analysis of citation

Abstract

Citations analysis of four library and information science Brazilian journals in the period of 1990 to 2006. The main objective is to point out the Spanish literature published and cited in the four Brazilians journals. "Ciência da Informação" published and cited the majority of Spanish language works. By the few use of Spanish literature by Brazilian authors and by the high number of individual authors we conclude that there is no research group working in collaboration in the South America.
