Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las diferentes denominaciones, puestos y papeles de los miembros de los comités editoriales (MCEs) de las revistas del área de Information Science and Library Science (ISLS) deJournal Citation Reports (JCR) y establecer una clasificación de los roles que contribuya a mejorar la comunicación entre editores e investigadores. De las 86 revistas incluidas del área ISLSse extrajeron los apellidos y nombres, puesto y afiliación institucional de cada MCE de un total de 84 revistas que permitían acceder a la información sobre los comités. Se normalizó la información y se clasificaron los puestos por consenso en grandes grupos según el papel que desempeñaban en las revistas. En las 84 revistas se incluyeron 4.122 MCEs distribuidos en 201 puestos y se clasificaron en 11 grandes categorías. La mayoría de puestos estaban incluidos en la categoría Editorial Board (n=1.516), seguida de Editorial Advisory Board (n=734) y Associate Editor (n=566). Las revistas se editaron en 36 editoriales, siendo Elsevier y Taylor & Francis las que aportaron más revistas (11 cada una). Las revistas en las que los MCEs presentaban un mayor porcentaje de miembros extranjeros son las editadas en los Países Bajos. El estudio proporciona una imagen de la amplia casuística de los papeles y denominaciones terminológicas que tienen los MCEs en las revistas del área Information Science & Library Science. Debido a esta diversidad, sería conveniente elaborar una guía de buenas prácticas editoriales que incluyera tanto la descripción del complejo abanico de funciones que desarrollan los MCEs como una denominación unificada de estos puestos de uso universal.
