SABAJ, Omar; MATSUDA, Ken I  y  FUENTES, Miguel A. A Model for the Homogenization of Textual Classes in the Scientific Library Scielo-Chile: The Variability of Research Articles in Different Disciplines. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.6, pp.133-148. ISSN 0718-0764.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642010000600015.

A formal model is presented and various science measurement indexes are applied for determining the variation in the textual classes included in research articles published in journals available in the electronic library Scielo-Chile (http://www.scielo.cl). To this end, a matrix of 33 formal criteria was generated to categorize the wide spectrum of textual classes that appear in the scientific journals of the library. The results show that there exist at least three types of research articles and that the presence of each type depends on the scientific journal and the discipline to which it belongs: scientific research, research and study, and theoretical research. In addition to that, it is established that, in some scientific journals, the designation of textual classes by authors and editors does not agree with the designation derived from the application of the formal categorization. Finally, it is estimated that research articles represent 70% of all registered material included in Scielo-Chile.
