Abstract

This document offers an analysis about the usefulness of Latindex for the development of bibliometric studies, for which purpose journals in the fields of library and information sciences included within this database are analyzed. General data are provided about journals and serial publications issued in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal, among which the number of issues produced per country, the languages of such issues, the publishing entities, and the status and type of journals are included. In addition, the inclusion of publications in secondary sources is explored, as well as the organization and recovery of information in Latindex.
