Description
Summary:With the aim of developing a reflection on the documental level of geography, and to understand how physical and human geography are materially related, this paper analyzes an ample spectrum of indexed literature from a distant reading perspective based on scientometric tools. Moving under a sociology of science lens, the study address (I) the citational relationship between the two fields, and (II) how scientific articles in geography are mobilised and combined with different categories of research journals in a cognate scientific field. The study relies on science mapping techniques to chart, describe, and visualize the citational relationships among journals and fields.
