Description
Summary:We present a bibliometric study of the Treaty of Documentation of Paul Otlet where the goal was to analyze approaches the archival area registered on it. For this study, used the descriptive words method and the associated words method. We applied a longitudinal statistical sampling for periods 1898 to 1933, because he published the first three scientists manuals the classical Archives. The results revealed that there is a total of 10 references related to the archives, the author being Otlet else mentioned, it has more citations and references on this area. The topics most frequently used by Otlet on archival science for discursive reasoning were: methods of organization and administrative documents. The analysis finds that archival approaches registered in the Treaty of Documentation have centrality and low density.
