Abstract:
Objective: Our work tries to offer the concrete state of the tlm studies on the journals (SCIMAGO and
ESCI) indexed in the Social Sciences category.
Methodology: We have studied the complete universe (5343 papers), and applied a quantitative approach
based on a content analysis methodology over the tlm studies concrete production: 3,9 % of the whole
SCOPUS universe (104 papers) and 9,7 % of the ESCI universe (266 papers).
Results: We have found a clear predominance of the papers signed by a single male author, using
qualitative analyses based on the discourse analysis methodology on the audiovisual narrative teld, over
other possible approaches as the historic-contextual processes or the quantitative methodologies.
