Comunicación, Comités científicos, Consejos editoriales, Meta-investigación, Gobernanza, Pluralismo, Producción científica, Revistas científicas, Comunicación académica.Resumen
Históricamente, la meta-investigación en comunicación tanto en España como internacional se ha focalizado en la presión de producción (autores), examinando detalladamente los patrones de creación científica. Muy limitados han sido sin embargo los esfuerzos orientados a problematizar el modelo de creación de oferta y, más concretamente, el sistema de gobernanza que sustenta, legitima y estimula el paradigma de producción tal cual se presenta: los comités científicos. En este ensayo se razona sobre la relevancia de los consejos editoriales en comunicación y se revisan sus efectos. Específicamente, este artículo editorial inicia y delinea un programa de investigación con el que comprender mejor las desigualdades y oposiciones de la gobernanza académica y sus efectos directos e indirectos en la producción científica, describiendo las teorías más destacadas para su examen. Finalmente, se plantean los retos del futuro de la meta-investigación en comunicación en España e internacional.
