Abstract

The journal El Profesional de la Información (EPI) is analysed using social network analysis techniques. The years from 2006 to 2023 were analysed by downloading the data available on the web using an ad hoc crawler. The different analyses of the data, obtained from the existing metadata, made it possible to characterise the existing links between the authors of the publications, to analyse the co-occurrence of words in the titles of the articles and to detect the existing communities, both of authors and of keywords.
