Abstract
Description
Una revisión de los artículos publicados en la Revista Geológica de América Central se ha realizado para los últimos treinta años (1984-2014), con el objetivo de identificar estudios relacionados con el campo de la neotectónica. Las investigaciones determinadas se dividieron en dos áreas geográficas: 1. América Central y el Caribe y 2. Costa Rica, los cuales a su vez se subdividen en los que tienen como área temática el país completo, los del noroeste, los del centro, del caribe y los del sur del territorio nacional. Con respecto al impacto de la Revista Geológica de América Central en el avance del conocimiento en el campo de la neotectónica, se encuentra que este ha sido muy limitado en lo relativo a la región de América Central y el Caribe, donde hay pocos trabajos publicados (9,2 % del total) y tienen limitados resultados de investigación. Con relación a Costa Rica, se observa un mayor impacto, especialmente en las investigaciones realizadas en la parte central del país, donde se ubican el 57,6 % de las publicaciones del país, y se identifica un importante avance en el conocimiento del sistema de fallas, que se asocia con el Cinturón Deformado del Centro de Costa Rica
A review of the papers published in the Central American Journal of Geology have been done for the last thirty years (1984-2014), with the objective to identify studies related with the neotectonics research area. The publications have been classified in two geographical areas: 1. Central America and the Caribbean, and 2. Costa Rica. The last ones were subdivided into papers related with the northwestern, the central, the Caribbean or the southern part of the country. In relation with the impact of the Central American Journal of Geology in the advance of knowledge in the field of neotectonics, it is found that is very limited with respect to the Central America and the Caribbean region, because the scarcity of papers (9.2 % of the total) and their limited research results. In relation with Costa Rica, it is found a bigger impact, especially with respect to the research publications associated with the central part of Costa Rica (57.6 % of the publications of the country), and a significant advance of knowledge is identified about the fault system associated with the Central Costa Rica Deformed Belt
