Revisión del buen uso de las palabras clave en las revistas de arquitectura iberoamericanas, en cuanto a frecuencia y tendencia

Abstract

The importance of the proper use of keywords as metadata of a scientific article is becoming more relevant every day as an identification element in indexing systems. Today scientific journals are migrating from paper to electronic media, and likewise, queries by users; consequently, this forces the quality of the keywords to be more assertive in their choice. The Revista de Arquitectura (Bogotá) seeks to identify the research problems of the disciplinary community regarding the structuring of research articles. Thus, it has been identified that the keywords do not have the expected impact as a fundamental element of the manuscript, if it is understood that they can become a valuable element for the assertive visibility of the publication.

Based on the above, a survey was made of the most used keywords in the serial periodical architecture publications in the Spanish-speaking context, between 2017 and 2021. They were classified into five thematic groups, and the frequency of use was verified for each cluster. Those with the highest frequency were consulted in Scopus, and thus a new series of keywords was obtained for each thematic group. The words with the highest frequency of both studies were compared respecting the thematic groups, to later be reviewed in a trend engine, and thus their search frequency was established and, therefore, their impact and their trend in 2021. It is concluded that the good use of keywords is a fundamental element in the communication of an article, since the attention paid to the frequency and trend of use can determine the visibility of said article, and thus increase its impact as a citation. Likewise, understand the role of the editor, as guarantor of the dissemination of the research, and in terms of the appropriation that the reader of the article can have, understanding the latter as the one who consults and cites the research articles proposed from the architecture.
