Dispersion was found in the number of citations in the analyzed articles (30), it was not possible to determine the leader in these descriptors. The average number of citations per element was 2.63 with an h-index of 27 for the case of leadership and for social media it was 3.52 with an h-index of 31. Articles in English and Spanish predominate.
