Abstract

This study analyzes the scientific productivity on library buildings and spaces based on the analysis of the publications indexed in Scopus and LISTA in the period 2010-2020. The data extracted allow us to draw the general panorama of research works on this subject. The results include 305 papers pertinent to the research topic, related to 284 authors, 120 journals, 304 institutions, 46 countries and 9 languages. The most productive years are 2015 and 2016. The topics are grouped according to these 4 categories, which have emerged from the analysis itself: spaces, design and construction, remodeling, and trends. The conclusions show an outstanding scientific productivity on buildings and library spaces, quantitatively abundant and at the same time stable with fairly constant figures throughout the period. In the authorship variety and a certain dispersion can be appreciated. Co-authorship is present in 58 % of the works. 91.4 % of the publication sources are scientific journals, 6.5 % conference proceedings and 1.9 % book chapters. Scientific production is concentrated in university-level institutions. The variety of perspectives on which the theme of library buildings and spaces is addressed indicates that it is consolidated as an area of ​​research.
