Significant changes can be appreciated. What are we doing? •The TESEO database, with certain limitations, is an indispensable source in these studies. •Searches cannot be limited to the most obvious descriptors and must include keywords in the title and the summary. •Some confusion about the very concept of discipline is clearly observed. A careful fill in of the form of this database in needed to improve its effectiveness.
