Andalusia's communication research output by subject: an analysis based on the doctoral dissertations from the Universities of Seville and Malaga. By Víctor Herrera-Solana (Universidad de Granada) y Luis Arboledas Márquez (Universidad de Granada) Doctoral dissertations constitute a scientific medium that is often not studied. This is mainly due to the fact that its dissemination is fairly limited. Despite these limitations, in this article we perform a comparative analysis by subject of dissertations written within the field of communication in the leading departments in this field in Andalusia: the Universities of Seville and Malaga. We find some similarities in both, which can be categorised into three basic subjects. In order to view them we have used the social network analysis technique (SNA).
