In some (especially European) countries, donaldism is mainly centered around comics and comic strips, while in other countries, e.g. the US, these are largely neglected while motion pictures and shorts are relatively much more popular. Originally the term, as defined by Gisle, referred to a "research branch and the material concerned by this research. In the latter meaning, the word denotes every Disney signed comic story. In the former meaning, donaldism is a branch of the comics research, specialising in the study of exactly Disney's production." (from Gisle's "Donaldismen", translated from the Danish edition of the book). While this original meaning of the word was defined in 1973, today donaldism tends to also cover general fandom within Disney comics and even motion pictures and shorts.

Donaldistic Research Since donaldism has its roots in Europe and much of the research is done there, past and present research mostly focus on Disney comics and comic strips. Some donaldist researchers strive for a scientific approach while others investigate and present matters in a less structured way. Research spans over topics such as religion in Duckburg, cars and bridges in the Duck universe, the length of Donald's beak compared to the hight of his head, identification of uncredited artists and writers, and indexing of stories and comic books.

One of the first, important discoveries was in 1960 when U.S. American fan John Spicer wrote the first fan letter to Carl Barks to which the good Duck artist replied.

It was later discovered that Disney himself had only been involved in the production of a handful comics.

Denmark In Denmark, one of the main sources for donaldistic research and other donaldistic articles is Carl Barks & Co. The first issue was published in 1974, and the fanzine continued until 2000 at a varied frequency; sometimes several issues per year, sometimes years passed without an issue. The fanzine presented much donaldistic research, including a large index of Danish Disney comic books (which is now maintained by the Inducks project and the original authors). Despite its name, the fanzine contained material on various fields within Disney comics, but still with an overweight on material about Carl Barks, the passing of whom unleashed the discontinuation of the fanzine.
