This article aims to identify and analyze aspects that are not dealt with or cannot be visualized in the bibliometric indexes of journals and articles in the Humanities, specifically in the field of Linguistics.

The methodological procedures take into account the criteria (i) year of publication of the citing texts, (ii) language of publication of the citing texts, (iii) discourse genre of the citing texts, and (iv) location of the institution to which the author(s) of the citing texts are affiliated. The results problematize a culture restricted to bibliometric indexes.
