Abstract

This study aims to describe the guidelines used in articles published in the journal REDES to report relational data. A total of 363 articles published between 2002 and 2023 were analyzed. To do this, a working group was created that first conducted a descriptive analysis to systematize information on keywords, thematic content, and the network measures used. Second, the group used a list of 18 prior recommendations to assess how well they were applied in the journal’s publications and to develop specific recommendations. The results revealed a wide range of network indicators and heterogeneity in the reporting formats used. The study reflects on the relevance of standardizing network reporting within each thematic area analyzed.
