Cultural and artistic heritage, links and online communities. High impact indicators through ICT

This article tries to analyse the influence of ICT in the formation of communities around artistic and cultural heritage. In a way of deepening the understanding of heritage from a humanistic and relational perspective, in recent years, our line of research has focused on the study of links, their characteristics, architecture and particularities. Taking another step in the study of the link, we propose a concept of heritage closely linked to the concept of community The present study is aimed at locating, knowing and analysing the online dissemination of scientific production through the analysis of network bibliometric indicators in the last decade. To do this, we carry out an analysis of high impact indicators relating to heritage from the perspective of links and their connection to the concept of community, conducting micro-specialised searches in specialised databases on the Internet: Web of Science and Scopus. We apply a mixed methodology, based on content analysis (NudistVivo) and statistical-descriptive analysis (Excel), through two online bibliographic reference managers (Re/Works and EndNote). The results allow us to know the impact of technology in dissemination, connection and scientific evolution in our line of study, as well as the lines of research developed and the possibilities of continuity that are opened to us in the future.
