FERNANDEZ OSORI, Andres Eduardo y ALVARADO, Helver Martín. LIMITATIONS IN THE VISIBILITY OF SERIAL PUBLICATIONS ON MILITARY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN. anal.polit. [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.94, pp.154-174. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v31n94.78308.
Despite the complexity of national and global processes in security and defence, and the wealth of international studies in this field, scientific journals devoted to military and strategic studies of Latin America and the Caribbean are characterized by their limited dissemination and visibility. This affects the possibility of contributing to the achievement of national interests, the strengthening of democracy and the protection of human rights. This article identifies, through a comparative study of seven indexation and summary systems, how the lack of a homogeneous characterization of publications in the region (as well as the ambiguity in their titles and contents) is one of the major obstacles to their inclusion in bibliometric evaluation systems. As part of the solution to this problem, a definition of military and strategic studies, their areas of knowledge, disciplines and thematic axes is proposed; likewise, a state of the question on the universe of the indexed journals of this interdisciplinary area of knowledge in the region is developed.
