Objetivo. La arquitectura de la información es un elemento norteador determinante para la disposición del contenido y facilitador para la navegación del usuário. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar y caracterizar la producción científica sobre arquitetura de la información relacionada a las bibliotecas.Método. Se realizó una revisión bibliométrica y un análisis sistémico, la primera para identificar cuáles son los artículos más citados, los autores que más publican en el área, las principales revistas científicas; el segundo análisis para caracterizar las discusiones y resultados presentados en los artículos. Para la revisión de literatura estructurada, se usó el método Proknow-C, la investigación fue realizada en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y Science Direct.Resultados. Fueron identificados 115 artículos, de este resultado se verifica un ápice en el numero de publicacionesen  los años de 2001 (5), 2002 (6) y 2006 (4).Conclusiones. Las publicaciones están concentradas en las subáreas de Ciencias Sociales y Ciencia de la Computación. Las principales palabras clave (Digital libraries, Information architecture y World Wide Web) ya contextualizan representativamente el contenido de los artículos recuperados. Con relación al análisis del contenido de los artículos, se discute que existe una convergencia de trabajos enfocados a estudios de arquitetura de la información y bibliotecas digitales, lo que es muy coherente con lo que la literatura sobre el asunto apunta: la arquitetura de la información es un facilitador del acceso a la información, haciendo los ambientes de información digital mejor señalizados.

Ticks are distributed all over the world and significantly affect human and animal health. Increasing public health concern with tick borne diseases requires the strategic control of ticks in animals that transmit diseases to humans. The aim of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production related to tick control, using bibliometrics as an instrument of analysis to measure scientific activity. To identify the studies , a search was made on four Scopus databases, Web of Science, Medline / Pubmed and Science Direct. Of 1764 publications, only 480 were analyzed after the exclusion of certain productions according to previously defined criteria. It was pointed out that the identified studies have great relevance for the control of ticks, considering that scientific publications are important markers of the activity of production and development of the field of knowledge.

The explosion of standards building on the 1998 XML specification from the World Wide Web Consortium has been slow to reach academic and library information science applications. While part of this is certainly due to cost, argues that adequate attention to architectural design, when considering XML technology, can make new forms of information management possible. Provides a survey of tools and relevant technology for working in Z39.50 with XML and MARC records, based primarily on a major undertaking by the ATLA‐CERTR (American Theological Library Association – Center for Electronic Resources in Theology and Religion) group at Emory University with 50 years of 50 journals digitized from philosophy, ethics, and religion.

A range of different methods and tools have been proposed by both academics and professionals in recent years for evaluating the quality of websites. Some are of general application and can be used to assess any type of website, while others have been adapted to the specialized characteristics of the websites employed in a given sector. This paper undertakes an analysis of existing scientific production in this field, with the aim of identifying its most relevant publications, its principal authors and the specific sectors served by the sites under evaluation. By triangulating review methods, 716 texts, published between 2000 and 2018, were identified in Scopus, Web of Science and other databases and examined. In addition to basic bibliographic information, the number of citations received by each text was recorded using Google Scholar. The area of knowledge in which each author works was also categorized based on his or her specific affiliations. The results point to a growing interest in website quality in a scientific community that has a presence in more than 70 countries. Its authors are drawn from various disciplines, although the highest number of publications is recorded in computer science, business and medical informatics. The most frequently cited texts are in fact seminal books in the associated disciplines of usability, information architecture and user experience. However, as of 2007, the number of texts describing evaluation tools for the websites of specific sectors – most notably, education (33%), health (27%) and commerce (21%) – increased their share. In conclusion, it is evident that website quality is a field of study undergoing constant growth and increasing specialization and one that offers ample opportunities for research.

Aim: Despite the increase in international research in art therapy, few studies have been developed with a bibliometric approach which describe the situation regarding this area of knowledge. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe and contextualize international scientific production in the visual arts modality in the context of artistic therapies, to offer a broader and more in-depth vision of the structure of this area of knowledge through of a bibliometric analysis of the publications indexed in the core collection of the Web of Science.Methods: This is a retrospective, exploratory and descriptive, cross-sectional study to analyze the bibliographic data retrieved from the databases of the core collection. The analysis parameters included the data corresponding to the production according to type of document, country, journal, and institution. In addition, the main lines of research were located and classified and the subject matter of the most cited articles in each of them was summarized. Four periods were selected, between 1994 and 2020, to facilitate the thematic analysis and offer an evolutionary perspective of art therapy research.Results: A total of 563 works were published, in 250 journals, in the 63 years between 1958, when the first document was published, and April 2021. The annual growth rate was 7.3% with a mean average of 8.7 publications per year, and 83.13% of the published works were articles. A total of 1,269 authors from 56 countries were counted. The mean number of citations per document was 5.6 and the mean number of citations per document and year was 0.6. The main research domains were psychology and/or rehabilitation and the highest production on this topic was concentrated in only three journals. In general, a high degree of variability was observed in the study topics and numerous theoretical and methodological articles. The most used visual arts modalities were in the main drawing, painting and photography.Conclusion: This work did not find previous existence of any bibliometric analysis on the international scientific production in art therapy. In general terms, there has been a substantial growth in the number of publications on the subject over the last decade. However, this research area does not appear to have peaked, but, on the contrary, is still growing and progressing despite its long history in clinical practice.
