Abstract
Este artículo presenta las estrategias metodológicas, los resultados y un análisis crítico del proyecto de investigación nacional
MapCom «El sistema de investigación en España sobre prácticas sociales de Comunicación, Mapa de Proyectos, Grupos, Líneas,
Objetos de estudio y Métodos». Se ofrecen los resultados obtenidos de las dos primeras fases del proyecto de investigación en el
conjunto del país y muestra total seleccionada de los objetos de estudio, tesis doctorales y proyectos de investigación. Se realiza
un análisis específico de variables descriptivas asociadas a género, objetos de estudio, financiación, metodologías más presentes,
así como un análisis comparado entre proyectos de investigación y tesis doctorales desde una perspectiva de los objetos de estudio
y las metodologías implementadas. El trabajo se contextualiza con un análisis comparativo de la investigación en Ciencias Sociales
y Humanidades en el mismo periodo analizado en España. Se hace un análisis de las debilidades, amenazas, fortalezas y oportunidades
que han sido detectadas y se ofrecen recomendaciones orientadas a desarrollar un «Plan de Acción Estratégico para la
Investigación Competitiva en Comunicación». El análisis concluye con la constatación de las semejanzas entre los objetos de estudio,
pero también de las diferencias entre los objetivos de las investigaciones cuando se comparan tesis doctorales y proyectos de
investigación en el periodo analizado. Se lleva a cabo igualmente un análisis comparativo de las 12 universidades con mayor relevancia
en España, con el objeto de detectar diferencias, similitudes y patrones de investigación en grupos de investigación, doctorados
asociados y universidades
This article presents the methodological strategies, results and a critical analysis of the national research project MapCom “The Research Sphere on Communication Studies Social Practices, Map of Projects, Groups, research objects and methods”. We present the results obtained within the first two phases of the research project. The complete sample of objects for analysis was selected within this time span, all doctoral research and research projects were included. We performed a specific analysis of descriptive variables associated to gender, objects of study, funding, more present methodologies, as well as a comparative analysis between research projects and doctoral theses from a perspective of the objects of study and the methodologies implemented. We contextualize the work with a comparative analysis of research in Social Science and Humanities in the same period analysed in Spain. We performed an analysis of the weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities which were detected within the analysis, and we propose recommendations aimed at developing a “Strategic Action Plan for Competitive Research in Communication”. The analysis of this research concludes with the observation of similarities between the objects of study, but also of the differences between the objectives of the investigations when we compare doctoral theses and research projects in the analysed period. We also carried out a comparative analysis of the 12 most relevant universities in Spain, in order to identify differences, similarities and research patterns in research teams or groups, associate doctoral programs and universities
