Las ciencias de la nutrición en la España de la segunda mitad del siglo XX; estudio bibliométrico descriptivo de la revista Anales de Bromatología (1949-1993)

Objetivo: Analizar la institucionalización de las ciencias de la nutrición en la España de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, y evaluar la actividad desarrollada por la revista Anales de Bromatología. Método: Estudio bibliométrico descriptivo de los artículos originales. Se recogió el nombre y apellidos de los autores y el título completo. A partir de las palabras clave, por consenso entre los autores del estudio, se asignó a cada artículo una sola materia principal de acuerdo con la agrupación de las trece temáticas que seguía la Sociedad Española de Bromatología en sus reuniones. Se ha analizado la distribución y tendencia de los indicadores generales de producción y sus características. Resultados: Se publicaron un total de 917 artículos originales con una media de 20,8 trabajos/año. Las materias que registraron mayor porcentaje de artículos fueron: sustancias extrañas a los alimentos, alimentos de origen vegetal y nutrición. Participaron un total de 874 autores, con un índice de colaboración de 2,43 y de transitoriedad del 70,1%. La distribución del número de firmantes por artículo se acerca bastante a lo que indica la ley de productividad de Lotka. Doce máximos productores, con presencia mayoritaria de mujeres, participaron en el 49,9% de los artículos publicados. Conclusión: La Revista mostró una baja productividad y un carácter endogámico, con un protagonismo destacado de los autores relacionados con la Escuela de Bromatología de la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Complutense. Las temáticas abordadas respondían a los retos de la transición alimentaria y nutricional de la población española.

Guarantee of financial support for student James Savage, signed by William Tudor and John Cooper, 1799 July 25

This legal agreement, a guarantee of financial support for entering student James Savage (A.B. 1803), was signed on July 25, 1799 by his two guarantors, William Tudor and John Cooper. The document was also signed by two witnesses, William Tudor's sons John Henry Tudor and Frederic Tudor. The agreement specifies that, in the event of Savage's failure to settle all financial obligations to the President and Fellows of Harvard College during the course of his studies, the two guarantors would be responsible for a payment of two hundred ounces of silver. It seems that the Tudors and Cooper were relatives of Savage, thus explaining their desire to assure his entry to Harvard by entering into this financial obligation.
