50 years of research in Communication area in Mexico: some descriptive data of the published production

Abstract

Counting and contextualizing some data on Mexican Communication Research published academic production over five decades, extracted from the website ccdoc. The objective is to analyze the scientific production of the Communication area. Some evidences interpreted by the author emerge to sustain a hypothesis concerning the "concentrated stagnation" which seems to characterize the field, and which leads to the recognition of a combination of structural factors, that suggest further research efforts, especially in comparative projects with other scientific-social fields and with other countries.
