Análisis temático y conceptual de revistas científicas mediante SciMAT: el caso de El Profesional de la Información (EPI), 2013-2018

The conceptual structure of the journal El Profesional de la Información (EPI) is analyzed in 2013-2018, through the evaluation of the publications corresponding to this period with the science map software SciMAT. The scientific maps developed with SciMAT allow to visualize in a clear way the structure of a journal, delimiting the areas of research and time, capturing its conceptual and cognitive structure. As a result we obtain a set of groups of keywords and their interconnections, called themes, which are classified into four categories: Motor, peripheral, emerging or declining and basic or transversal topics. The main topics of the EPI journal in 2013-2018 are shown, grouped by the indicated categories, as well as their interconnections.
