- After presenting the characteristic features of Spanish library and information science journals, both their information quality as means of communication and the quality of the editorial process is analysed. The characteristic profile of the Spanish LIS journal is that of a young journal, under the auspices of a LIS professional association or university unit, published in Madrid, of long periodicity (annual/biannual), of general scope and audience, and with a consolidated editorial structure although not professionalised which is also medium-sized, recruited locally and preferably of academic affiliation. In general, Spanish LIS journals do not comply with international standards pertaining to scientific publication. Their main deficiencies are: lack of detailed instructions to authors; lack of information on manuscript selection and evaluation processes; missing translations of titles, abstracts and keywords; missing dates of receipt, acceptance and publication of originals. The editorial process presents important gaps insofar as publication dates are disregarded, author instructions are not followed, the system for manuscript revision and evaluation is not rigorous in the least, a system for the control, auditing and selfevaluation of journals is not in place and the management of the editorial process is very little professionalised. To conclude, a number of specific measures for improvement are offered.
