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.

This study, using a new method called Referenced Publication Years Spectroscopy (RPYS), examines the most important historic works written in the area of research methodology. Preliminary data of this study have been extracted from Web ob Science database through scientomerics methods. For this purpose, the references used in all the papers in the core journals in this field since 1980 to the end of 2014 were studied. Distribution of resources in the area of research methodology based on the publication year indicates that this field of study, during time interval 1900 to 1980, has seen 9 major mutations, respectively, in the years 1910, 1927, 1934, 1938, 1951, 1960, 1965, 1967, and 1979. The findings suggest a considerable influence of psychological studies (in particular, the application of statistics in psychology) on historical topics of research methodology; So that, 4 out of 5 sources related to the period 1900 to 1940, are written straight by the experts of psychology, with an emphasis on improving statistical methods and applying them in different researches. The results revealed that the share of articles out of total referred resources works presented, compared to books, was 12 to 7 which could direct us to this point that, the impact of articles in shaping the historical origins of the research methodology topics was more colorful than books.
