“…Cronin and Davenport (1996) reported a mean of one publication per year for LIS faculty in the children and schools areas; re-calculating their data with more precision, however, the mean annual number of publications is also 0.7. Pettigrew and Nicholls's (1994) It also reflects standard timelines of scholarly publication (e.g., Garvey & Griffith, 1967), in which work presented at conferences is subsequently developed for journal publication.…”

“…Wallace's (1990) short article and the more extensive work by Pettigrew and Nicholls (1994) are among the few to attempt to describe the field as a whole. Cronin and Davenport (1996) took a different approach, intentionally focusing on a subset of the field where they expected to observe below-average scholarly output.…”

“…Journal articles per capita were reported for only the top 20 programs; the number ranged from 2.25 to 7.64. Pettigrew and Nicholls (1994) Cronin and Davenport (1996) assessed productivity for 61 faculty members whose research focused on children's and school library services. They found a mean of 11.1 publications per faculty member over the eleven-year period studied (ranging from 5.3 for assistant professors to 16.1 for professors).…”

“…Asimismo, los criterios implícitos de selección de las revistas de la región por dichas bases no quedan claros: algunos países fueron escasamente representados. Pese a ello, pudimos identificar que la distribución de las publicaciones en términos territoriales es irregular, es decir, la mayor parte de los artículos indizados provinieron de Brasil, que cuenta con el mayor número de títulos indizados, además de tener a la comunidad profesional más numerosa y sólida, así como el mayor número de programas educativos que ofrecen estudios en BIC, principalmente de doctorado, lo cual posiblemente influencia la productividad nacional, tal como ha sido reportado por Pettigrew y Nichols (11).…”

Resumen: Las discusiones en tomo a la necesidad de hacer investigación. aun en áreas tales como la Bibliotecología y la Ciencia de la Información (BCI) han sido frecuentes. Los resultados aproximan a una realidad, basados en una revisión de bases de datos, que si bien indizan selectivamente las publicaciones generadas en la región, aseguran que se trabajó con información que ha sido controlada por servicios disponibles universalmente. Por lo tanto, los mencionados resultados podrían servir para que las instituciones de educación superior, entre otras, analicen su papel como formadoras de recursos humanos que, a través de comunidades científicas, tendrán que resolver problemas relacionados con el desarro]]o de la investigación en BCI y la adaptación o adopción de conocimiento generado fuera de la región. Palabras clave: bibliotecología, ciencia de la información, bibliometría. Amé-rica Latina, Caribe.Abstract: Discussion about the need to develop research capabilities are frequent. Fields such as Library and Information Science are not the exception. Therefore we attempted to determine, bibliometrically, the publication activity of the Latin American and the Caribbean countries. The country's profile was based on data retrieved from Library and Infonnation Science Abstracts, Library Literature and Infonnation Science Abstracts. A total of 1.911 unique records was retrieved. We found that: Brazil was the most productive country; Brazilian joumals, as a result, published the majority of retrieved papers. Latin America and Caribbean professionals use English and Portuguese to communicate with their peers. We concluded that results could be useful to higher education institutions. among others, in order to rethink their role as centres of training of the professionals that, as members of scientific communities, would have to develop research as

“…In an elaborate study, Pettigrew and Nicholls ( 1994) gathered publication data on all ALA-accredited LIS schools in North America for an 11 -year period ( 1982-1992), which they analyzed at both the individual and institutional level. They broke down publications into a number of categories (e.g., monographs, refereed articles, book reviews) which allows for fairly refined analysis.…”
