Abstract

ELIGIO-TRIANA, César. The role of journals of architecture and urban planning in the dissemination of knowledge. Participation and impact of SIA. Rev. Arquit. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.1, pp.3-13. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.20l8.20.1.2005.

The communication of nationally produced knowledge is moving towards processes that respond to international dynamics. Different national policies encouraged an increase in the number of journals that sought to position themselves as recognized means of disseminating local scientific production, which created great doubts about the relevance of continuing with this strategy. The indexing and categorization processes of Colciencias-Publindex, instead of promoting national publications, opted to reduce the number of journals in order to consolidate and support the positioning of a few. An analysis of the results of the Call 768 of 2017 shows that, although differentiations were made according to "Large area of knowledge," this classification does not allow seeing how the dynamics are within each area and discipline. In the case of architecture and urban planning, results are lower than the national average, and classified journals need to work hard to maintain national indexation and international positioning; for those journals that did not classify, it implies reengineering looking to guarantee an adequate dissemination of disciplinary knowledge.

Keywords : social appropriation of knowledge; research in architecture; Publindex; systems of indexing and abstracting (SIA); bibliographic indexes.
