Abstract


The information requirements of the scientific community of the areas of science and technology in the University of Extremadura were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively through journal citations. For this purpose, a retrospective search was made in the Science Citation Index database, considering multiple variables such as use by department, impact factor, journal citations, availability, localization, accessibility, and coverage. A set of (simple and complex) indicators was applied to these variables, using multiple association models (in particular, Kohonen's algorithm) to determine the degree of ínterdepartmental overlap in the real use of information.
