ZUNIGA MANRIQUEZ, Claudia Valeria  e  MORENO TAPIA, Javier. Scientific production in the legal field. Conrado [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.75, pp. 251-258.  Epub 02-Ago-2020. ISSN 1990-8644.

This work presents the findings of an investigation about the characteristics of scientific texts that are built in a specific field such as law. It is then an analysis of articles published in scientific journals. The material was made up of articles from scientific magazines specialized in Law published in the Spanish language. Some are indexed with an impact factor in Scopus. The hermeneutic method was used to analyze the articles, generating an analysis according to a previous classification of the type of citations, as well as the types of sources that these articles resort to. Among the main findings it can be deduced that there is a tendency to literally transcribe what is said in another source and then make an interpretation.

Based on the foundation and analysis of Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the Economics of Social Practices, it can be concluded that the legal field does not privilege or consider scientific or academic capital within its cultural capital, privileging other activities in this discipline.

Palavras-chave : Legal scientific production; scientific text; scientific or academic capital.
