The field of educational multimedia, hypermedia and communications has been explored for more than 15 years in the ED-MEDIA conference. This paper presents a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of the researchers and papers that have been part of ED-MEDIA during these years. The authorship, co-authorship, citation and co-citation analysis are conducted to evaluate the characteristics of ED-MEDIA and its community. The findings suggest that ED-MEDIA is a well balanced scientific venue with a vibrant and collaborative community around it. The metrics obtained are also used to propose a Personalized Recommender System to help the participants get the most out of the conference.
