Abstract

Case study on the degree of fulfillment of the recommendations and norms prescribed by scientific magazines on author abstracts. The evaluation model is based on the standard UNE 50-103-90, and the sample consists of the articles published during the year 2000 in two Spanish scientific publications about, respectively, Health Sciences and Library and Information Science: Fisioterapia and the Revista Española de Documentación Científica. The type, presentation and style of the abstracts, and the presence or not of free key words are studied. The results show the presence of abundant secondary data, and deficiencies of clarity and precision. In addition, the extension and structures of the summaries do not correspond with the substantial content of the articles. It is recommended that a investigation on the type of the studies published in Spanish scientific magazines and their suitability is carried
