Resumen

What have been the main trends in Romance Studies in the last decades? What can be expected for the next decade? These are the two main research questions of this article. To answer them, a large dataset of over one million publications of research in Romance Studies has been extracted from German library catalogs. This dataset is analyzed through descriptive statistics and linear regression in order to predict the development in future years. Several fields of the respective catalogs are analyzed, such as the language and place of publication, publishers, e-book vs. printed versions, price and subjects.
