    Introducción y objetivo: La investigación con encuestas es un método utilizado con frecuencia en el área de Biblioteconomía y Documentación. El objetivo principal de este estudio es evaluar si los estudios realizados en el ámbito de la Biblioteconomía que utilizan encuestas como método de investigación proporcionan información completa y detallada sobre su diseño y ejecución. Métodos: Se seleccionaron de la base de datos Web of Science los artículos publicados en 2019 en revistas del área de Library Science incluidas en el Journal Citation Reports que empleaban encuestas como método de investigación cuantitativa. Para valorar el grado de cobertura informativa se creó una herramienta formada por 32 elementos utilizados en diversas guías y recomendaciones. Resultados y conclusiones: La mayoría de los artículos basados en encuestas en el área de Biblioteconomía y Documentación presentan una grave deficiencia en la información proporcionada. Es necesario mejorar y completar información sobre el procedimiento de muestreo, desarrollo y administración del cuestionario, así como sobre el análisis de sus resultados. Esta información permitirá valorar los potenciales errores cometidos y, en consecuencia, la calidad y validez de las conclusiones del estudio.

    Introduction and objective: Survey research is a method frequently used in Library Science. The main objective of this study is to evaluate if the studies carried out in the field of Library Science, that use surveys as a research method, provide complete and detailed information on their design and execution. Methods: Scientific papers published in 2019 in journals in the Library Science area included in the Journal Citation Reports, that used surveys as a quantitative research method, were selected from the Web of Science database. To assess the degree of information coverage, a tool was created consisting of 32 items used in various guides and recommendations. Results and conclusions: most of the scientific papers based on surveys in Library Science present a serious deficiency on the information provided. It is necessary to improve and complete information about the sampling procedure, development and administration of the questionnaire, as well as on the analysis of its results. This information will allow us to evaluate the potential errors made and, consequently, the quality and validity of the conclusions reached.
