- Abstract
The Theory of the Fields is one of the most widely used research perspectives from the sociological field. This conception presents a specification within the sociology of knowledge: the Theory of the Scientific Field. Given its adaptability to various fields, domains and scientific disciplines; this theory can be applied to any area of knowledge. Although the effectiveness of bibliometrics has been widely demonstrated in the study of topics, disciplines and domains of knowledge, it is evident that it has been little used to describe scientific fields. The present study is focused on establishing the links between sociology of knowledge, Field Theory and bibliometrics to describe scientific fields. The research classified as descriptive with theoretical contribution. The results were obtained mainly through methods in the theoretical planes. At the empirical level, the documentary analysis was decisive, using Peirre Bourdieu (1976) as the main author. The study identified the characteristics of the Scientific Field Theory and bibliometrics. The above will identify the interception nodes between both conceptions, allowing to visualize their scope in the delimitation and characterization of the structure of particular fields. It was concluded that the analysis of scientific fields requires to processing of large volumes of information. Bibliometry as a bibliometric method and discipline can favor the delimitation of a scientific field from the objective relationships (publications) between the agents of the field. The main variables that allow describing scientific fields are those related to production, collaboration and impact.
