Sumario:The article presents an exploratory analysis of Spanish scientific production in the field of communication policies applying bibliometric techniques. The study considers papers published by authors from Spanish institutions between 2002 and 2011 in the main Spanish journals of the IN-RECS index for the field of communication and international journals in the area of communication included in the Social Sciences Citation Index. Among other aspects, the analysis considers the institutional affiliation of authors, the typology of authorship and the industrial sector and geopolitical area studied, as well as some methodological issues. The results reveal a low level of internationalization of Spanish research in this field and authorship lead by researchers from the oldest universities. Traditional objects of study are privileged, and the very same administrative levels where communication policies are decided mark the geopolitical areas studied. There is also a restricted and not greatly varied use of methodological techniques. However, the most recent evolution of the field illustrates the adaptation of these practices to the institutionalized modes of scientific production currently held in social sciences.
