Abstract
La comunicación puede entenderse como un macro-contexto epistemológico del que la educación participa como
una parte. El análisis de la correspondencia entre esta relación teórica epistemológica y la interacción real entre las
revistas de educación y comunicación es uno de los objetivos de este trabajo. Al mismo tiempo, los patrones de citación
de las revistas españolas de comunicación, en cuanto a la procedencia de las citas recibidas o emitidas por las
revistas de comunicación en el Journal Citations Report, pueden presentar diferencias que dificulten el intercambio
de información entre ambos conjuntos. Se analiza la distribución de citas según disciplina citante para las revistas
españolas y extranjeras de comunicación, así como para «Comunicar», y la frecuencia de aparición de revistas con
tasa de afinidad según su disciplina para las revistas en la «Subjet Category Communication» de JCR. Se concluye
que la relación epistemológica entre educación y comunicación se da únicamente en el caso español, que existen
marcadas diferencias en la composición disciplinar de las revistas afines y citantes al comparar las revistas españolas
con las indexadas en JCR. Además, la interacción con las revistas del área «Information Science & Library Science»
podría ser un canal de comunicación entre ambos conjuntos de revistas. Finalmente, se corrobora la correspondencia
de la característica multidisciplinariedad de «Comunicar» en el ámbito nacional e internacional.
Communication can be understood, under an epistemological framework, as a macro-context from which education participates as a part. One of the objectives of this work is to contrast this theoretical consideration with the observed interaction between education and communication scientific journals defined by citations and relatedness towards other scientific journals. At the same time, there might be relevant differences between the citation patterns of Spanish and foreign (journals in Journal Citation Reports) communication journals, particularly with regard to their disciplinary composition. These differences might become a major problem for the interexchange of information be - tween both sets of journals. The authors analyze the citations distribution by subject category for Spanish and JCR journals, as well as for the journal «Comunicar», and also the frequency of related journals per subject category in the case of JCR. It is concluded: a) that the aforementioned epistemological relationship is valid only for Spanish Communication journals, b) that there are relevant differences between both sets of journals in the disciplinary composition of their cited-citing and related journals and that Information Science & Library Science might serve as a suitable communication channel; finally, c) the characteristic multidisciplinarity of the journal «Comunicar» is corroborated, both at the national and international level.
