In order to know the evolution of the different research methods in the area of Social Science, an analysis of scientific production is carried out, using two international databases, web of science and scopus. A period of the last twenty-five years is selected by analyzing progress in both the general scientific literature and the social sciences specifically. There has been a growing evolution of qualitative and mixed methods as well as a slight decrease in overall productivity over the last year.

Palabras clave : bibliometrics; qualitative; quantitative; mixed; research.
