Culture, heritage and tourism as study fields for communication: a systematic review of recent Hispanic literature = Cultura, patrimonio y turismo como campos de estudio para la comunicación: una revisión sistemática de la literatura hispánica reciente

Abstract

Interdisciplinary communication research with very diverse thematic interests has grown exponentially. The purpose of this study is to observe the space they occupy and how the fields of culture, heritage and tourism are addressed in the articles published in the main Hispanic communication journals during the 2013-2017 period. Methodologically, the techniques of bibliometry and meta-research were combined to address aspects such as authorship or financing of studies and identify the objects of study, theories or methodologies used in the 120 manuscripts that formed the sample.
