المجلة المغاربية للتوثيق و المعلومات من 1983 إلى 2020 : دراسة ببليومترية

Abstract EN

Through this work, we have worked to introduce the general characteristics of the Maghreb Journal of Documentation and Information published annually by the Higher Institute of Documentation, since its appearance from 1983 till 2020.

For that question, we have used the bibliometric approach in order to quantify the frequency of publications, in addition to reviewing the percentage of articles' productivity and their distribution according to numbers, and during the years of real publication.

We find an average of 447 articles published by 572 authors in 29 issues over a period of 24 years from the actual publication, without considering the years of interruption.

It is worth mentioning that the magazine returns to its activity after a break, whether after a scientific event to publish its activities or after changing its directing members.

Moreover, in order to recognize the magazine orientation and its editorial line, the bibliometric approach has also helped us to extract the sub-topics presented by the magazine, as it is the only publication specialized in information science in Tunisia.

In addition to studying the linguistic writing choices of the authors; let us stand, besides, on the dominance of the French tongue in writings, trying to understand the general cultural and social framework that made the Arabic tongue ranked second in the number of publications.
