Abstract: The goal of this work is to analyse the production of reviews published between 2007 and 2009 in the scholarly journals in the Social Sciences and Humanities contained in the ISOC database. Different aspects were analysed: time pattern, journals, authorship and author affiliation. Also examined were the books reviewed, by publication type, language, authorship, publisher and time lag between the books’ publication and the appearance of the reviews. The results concerning the reviews show a constant reduction in their production and a large number concentrated in the humanities. Authors are mostly Spaniards and university lecturers, who publish alone and have a very low level of productivity. There is also a high level of endogamy among those authors who are members of editorial boards. The results concerning the reviewed books reveal that few titles were reviewed more than once, there are a large number of monographs, mostly in Spanish, and there is a long time lag between a book’s publication and the appearance of its review. ; Se presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción de reseñas editadas en revistas científicas españolas de calidad en ciencias Sociales y Humanidades incluidas en la base de datos ISOC, y publicadas en los años 2007-2009.

También se examina la producción de libros reseñados según tipo documental, idioma de edición, autoría, entidad editora, y la duración del intervalo de tiempo entre edición de libro y reseña. Los resultados sobre reseñas indican un descenso constante en su producción, y un elevado número de documentos en humanidades. Los autores son en su mayoría profesores universitarios y españoles; publican solos; tienen una productividad muy baja; y un alto nivel de endogamia en aquellos autores que son miembros de Consejos de revista. Los resultados sobre libros reseñados demuestran que hay pocos títulos reseñados más de una vez, un elevado número de monografías, muchas en español, y un ...
