Abstract
A typology of modalities for the formulation of research questions was applied to analyze 61 research papers that studied media, published during a period of five years in the journal Comunicación y Sociedad. The objective was to identify how research questions are constructed regarding the literature review. The results show that inquiry based on gap-spotting prevails and fewer studies confront or question previous knowledge.
