Introduction: Methodological study of articles published in 11 scientific research journals in the field of art in 2019 is the problem of the present study and specifically to questions such as how to collect data and what is the approach and type of analysis of these articles and others such as the average number of authors per article, average scientific rank Academic and the predominant gender of the authors and the highest level of group participation among the
Methods: This is a small research and its initial data were collected from scientific databases and then statistically collected and analyzed using research methodological knowledge and scientometric tools. Library resources have also been used for definitions and research concepts.
Results: The data collection method of the majority of articles in the study population was library (66%), combined (field-library) (21%) and field (12%), respectively. Also, the dominant approach of articles is qualitative (88%), quantitative (7%) and combined (5%), respectively. Among the qualitative articles, the method of data collection (about 33%) is articles, libraries and (about 20%) composite (field-library) and among the quantitative articles (about 5%) are libraries, (about 25%) are field questionnaires and (Up to 50%) were interview field and (up to 20%) were combined (library-field). Out of 15 combined articles, the data collection method was 10 combined articles, 4 articles (about 4%) were library articles and 1 article (up to 10%) was a questionnaire field article. The average number of authors per article was 2.1 and most of the authors of the articles (60%) were male. Is the author (48%).
Conclusion: This study showed that the weight of qualitative research is higher than other researches. And the type of analysis was descriptive-analytical with a significant difference more than other types were used and semiotic and comparative analysis, after that, were in the next stage. The hypothesis of this article that most of the articles in the field of art have a qualitative approach and their type of analysis is descriptive-analytical is also confirmed, but a larger comprehensive study of this research found that the types of analysis.
