Abstract

El estudio de la música de videojuegos ha alcanzado en las dos últimas décadas su madurez y aceptación en medios académicos. Esta subdisciplina, conocida comúnmente como Ludomusicología, se plantea aún preguntas básicas sobre cómo se puede investigar. Este artículo pretende dar a conocer la situación actual y reflexionar sobre algunas de las principales líneas de trabajo de los estudios sobre la música de los videojuegos y sus culturas, un campo de investigación en desarrollo permanente que, hasta la fecha, ha recibido escasa consideración en el ámbito académico hispánico.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Anuario Musical, Q3 Agency Scopus (SJR), its regional focus and specialization in Visual Arts and Performing Arts, give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.08. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 3.72 (source consulted: Dimensions Jul 2025)
  • Normalized Impact calculated by Dialnet Metrics: 50 (source consulted: Dialnet Metrics Dec 2023)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-07-16, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 1
  • Scopus: 2

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-16:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 9.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 26 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 3.55.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 4 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://repositorio.uam.es/handle/10486/697841
