Resumen

Antecedentes: El rápido progreso en el conocimiento y la tecnología médica está impulsando cambios en la atención médica, lo que requiere enfoques innovadores para la difusión de la información. La biblioteconomía médica y la ciencia de la información (MLIS) desempeñan un papel vital en el acceso a fuentes de información y la realización de programas de alfabetización. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los resultados científicos de MLIS de 1990 a 2022 para descubrir temas subyacentes y contribuciones que dan forma a la disciplina.
Métodos: El estudio actual utilizó un método descriptivo transversal con un enfoque cienciométrico. Los datos se recopilaron de la Web of Science en septiembre de 2024. El análisis se realizó utilizando el software Excel versión 2019 y el software Vosviewer 1.6. En esta visualización, el tamaño de los círculos representa el peso basado en la coocurrencia de sujetos, con una longitud máxima de 30. El método de normalización de datos utilizado para la visualización de la red fue Fuerza mínima y fuerza de asociación.
Resultados: En el campo de MLIS, Estados Unidos lideró la producción científica e Irán ocupó el sexto lugar. Tanya P. Bardin y Daniel Eric Burgard fueron los mejores escritores. El mapa cienciométrico presentó 5 grupos, centrados en tareas profesionales, tecnología, naturaleza del usuario, cuestiones organizativas y campos relacionados con las citas.
Conclusiones: El análisis de la literatura de MLIS de 1990 a 2022 demuestra un campo en rápida expansión y altamente especializado, con el pico de producción en 2008. Las áreas de investigación clave abarcan la ciencia de la información, la ciencia bibliotecaria y los servicios de ciencias de la atención de la salud. El mapeo cienciométrico revela grupos distintos centrados en tareas profesionales, tecnología y uso de Internet, servicios orientados al usuario, cuestiones organizativas y campos relacionados con las citas. Estos hallazgos subrayan el papel fundamental de los profesionales de MLIS en el apoyo a la atención médica. Sin embargo, persisten desafíos en la diversidad metodológica, la colaboración internacional y la transparencia de la investigación. Abordar estos desafíos es crucial para garantizar que MLIS continúe ejerciendo una influencia significativa en el futuro de la atención médica.
