Resum
There is a long-standing tradition of collaboration in the Italian and Spanish Library
and Information Science (LIS) community, including a wide range of activities such as joint
meetings, conferences, and exchange of students and teachers. Despite this, there is a weak
research collaboration. The purpose of this study is to explain the characteristics of LIS
research methods in Spain and Italy and develop a theory to improve global collaboration and
innovation in LIS research. The methodology used a four-stage comparative approach. The
first stage involved analysing research methods of studies published in the core LIS Journals
in Spain and Italy in 2019. In the second stage, the research team has interpreted the LIS
research characteristics in both countries, analyzing: 1) Internal organization of the discipline;
2) Social organization of the discipline. In the third and fourth stages, the researchers have
compared and contrasted the data collected, applying a constructivist approach to test a
theory that could be used to improve the quality of LIS research nationally and possibly
internationally. This chapter provides an overview of the research methods applied in the
core LIS journals in Spain and Italy and will discuss the impact of the cognitive and social
organization of LIS research nationally and comparatively. It includes insights on testing a
theory to improve global collaboration for LIS research.
