Résumé
Abstract Background Perinatal depression (PND) is a clinical disease developed in any stage during the pregnancy and postpartum period with serious health and economic implications. Objective The aim of this work was to analyze via bibliometrics indicators Mexico's production on PND to provide a view of the academic landscape and a comprehensive reference for subsequent research in the country. Method The Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were used to perform a search for peer reviewed papers related to PND in México. The search was made following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The extracted data were processed with VOS Viewer to examine link strength and clusters associations of diverse bibliometrics variables. Results A total of 132 records were retrieved and we included 70 studies in the bibliometric analysis after application of the exclusion criteria. The authors with more papers were Navarrete L., and Asunción Lara M. The institutions with more papers were the National Institute of Perinatology, Ramón de la Fuente National Institute of Psychiatry, and National Institute of Public Health of Mexico. A diminution of the research considered in PND is observed in the last two years. Four keyword clusters were identified related to PND: symptoms, prevalence, pregnancy. Discussion and conclusion The scarce literature concerning PND in Mexico compared with other countries could be due the limited collaboration between the health institutes. An urgent need to increase research on PND in Mexico is evident to be applicable in the management of resources in the healthcare system.

Objetivo El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar a través de indicadores bibliométricos la producción de México sobre PND, para brindar una visión del panorama académico y un referente integral para investigaciones posteriores en el país. Método Se utilizaron las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science (WoS) para realizar una búsqueda de artículos revisados por pares relacionados con la PND en México. La búsqueda se realizó siguiendo los elementos de informes preferidos para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis (PRISMA). Los datos extraídos se procesaron con VOS Viewer para examinar la fuerza de los enlaces y las asociaciones de grupos de diversas variables bibliométricas. Resultados Se recuperaron un total de 132 registros y se incluyeron 70 estudios en el análisis bibliométrico después de la aplicación de los criterios de exclusión. Los autores con más artículos fueron Navarrete L. y Asunción Lara M. Las instituciones con más artículos fueron el Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, el Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente y el Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública de México. Se observa una disminución de las investigaciones consideradas en el PND en los últimos dos años. Se identificaron cuatro grupos de palabras clave relacionadas con la PND: síntomas, prevalencia y embarazo. Discusión y conclusión La escasa literatura sobre PND en México en comparación con otros países podría deberse a la limitada colaboración entre los institutos de salud. Se evidencia una necesidad urgente de realizar más investigaciones sobre PND en México que sean aplicables y útiles en la gestión de recursos en el sistema de salud.
Résumé
El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en caracterizar la producción científica relacionada con el campo de las ataxias espinocerebelosas, las cuales constituyen enfermedades neurodegenerativas, manifestadas por cuadros clínicos progresivos e invalidantes. La investigación es de tipo censal-documental y recupera metadatos de Scopus, correspondientes a 5654 investigaciones relacionadas con este problema de salud, durante el período 1961-2020. El procesamiento explora las principales características bibliométricas de los documentos publicados, el ritmo de crecimiento, la paternidad de las obras, el impacto por índice de citas, así como las redes de colaboración y la estructura que sigue el flujo del conocimiento. Se observa un despegue notable de la producción científica desde inicios de los años 90 del siglo pasado, coincidiendo con el desarrollo de investigaciones afines en el campo de la genética. También se constata un predominio en el estudio de los tipos SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, y SCA17, donde los cuatro primeros corresponden a las ataxias de mayor prevalencia a escala mundial. El corpus documental refleja la consolidación de grupos de investigación relativamente estables, encabezados por líderes científicos y caracterizados por la ampliación sostenida de la colaboración internacional y por el trabajo colectivo e interdisciplinario. También se aprecia la tendencia hacia el aumento del número de referencias dentro de cada documento. Los mayores volúmenes productivos se concentran en países desarrollados, junto a países en vías de desarrollo donde existen elevados niveles de prevalencia en esta enfermedad(AU)
The objective of the present study was to characterize the scientific production related to the field of spinocerebellar ataxias, which constitute neurodegenerative diseases, manifested by progressive and disabling clinical conditions. The research is census-documentary type and recovers metadata from Scopus, corresponding to 5,654 investigations related to this health problem, during the period 1961-2020. The processing explores the main bibliometric characteristics of the published documents, the pace of growth, the authorship of the works, the impact by citation index, as well as the collaboration networks and the structure that follows the flow of knowledge. A notable takeoff in scientific production has been observed since the beginning of the 90s of the last century, coinciding with the development of related research in the field of genetics. There is also a predominance in the study of the types SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, and SCA17, where the first four correspond to the most prevalent ataxias worldwide. The documentary corpus reflects the consolidation of relatively stable research groups, headed by scientific leaders and characterized by the sustained expansion of international collaboration and collective and interdisciplinary work. There is also a trend towards increasing the number of references within each document. The largest productive volumes are concentrated in developed countries, along with developing countries where there are high levels of prevalence of this disease(AU)

Objective: To identify the worldwide bibliometric characteristics of research on SARS?CoV?2 infection and cerebrovascular disease. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, and bibliometric study was performed. We analyzed 1834 publications about COVID?19 and cerebrovascular disease from the Scopus database considering the time since the beginning of the pandemic between 2019 and 2020. Bibliometric indicators were evaluated such as number of citations, citations per publication by authors, countries, journals, and collaborations at national, international, institutional, and impact levels according to Cite Score Quartile and h?index metrics. All analysis was performed using SciVal software. Results: The highest percentage of articles corresponded to universities in the United States, including Harvard and New York with 59 and 20 publications, respectively, and the University of Toronto in Canada with 22 publications. In relation to citation indicators, journals such as Stroke and Journal Stroke and Cerebrovascular diseases obtained 1971 and 561 citations, respectively. Regarding collaboration indicators, the national collaboration index was 39.4% and the institutional collaboration index was 31.1%. Finally, neurology, cardiovascular medicine, and cardiology and surgery were the subject areas with the highest research results, with 424, 217, and 128 studies, respectively. Conclusion: It was observed that the United States was the country with the highest scientific production on COVID?19 and cerebrovascular disease in the year 2020 in the different health areas; however, more research is still needed worldwide for a better analysis of the bibliometric indicators on the subject.
Résumé
Background: South Africa reported a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, named 'Omicron,' to the World Health Or-ganization on November 24, 2021. Scientometric analysis quantify all currently available written communica-tion, the authors of that communication, and their citation analysis. The study's goal was to use the Scopus and Web of Science databases to look at the research metrics of Omicron publications published between Jan-uary 1965 and March 2020. Methods:All scientific research outputs with the word 'Omicron' in the title were retrieved from the Web of Science (January 1965 to March 2022) and Scopus (January 1896 to March 2022) databases on April 10, 2022. The data was analyzed based on year-wise publications; leading authors; predominant journals in publishing, highly cited articles with citations; type of publications; subject classification, frequently used keywords, geo-graphical distribution of publication, language, and more contributed institutions. Results: There were 1229 research outputs for WoS and 655 from Scopus. The number of publications for WoS increased from 22 in 1965 to 265 in 2022, while Scopus increased from 1 in 1896 to 356 in 2022. Both the databases identified the author Yuen KY as the highest contributor; Journal of Virology and Nature as the predominant journals; the Lancet as highly cited journal; majority as original articles; frequently used key-words as 'SARS-CoV-2'; the United States of America as the most productive country; majority publication in English. The publications were mainly on the subjects Chemistry and Medicine by WoS and Scopus, respec-tively. The most productive institute was the ‘University of California Systems’ by WoS and the ‘University of Hong Kong’ by Scopus. Conclusion: The term 'Omicron' first appeared in the domain of Chemistry in the late 18th century. The growth pattern of publication was not consistent. The above research metrics will be helpful to researchers in the coming days.

Résumé
El desarrollo constante de la ciencia hace necesario realizar estudios que permitan conocer su desarrollo global y por campos o sectores geográficos. Se presenta un estudio bibliométrico sobre la producción científica publicada en las revistas latinoamericanas de la categoría Business, Management and Accounting (BMA) del Scimago Journal Rank y con información almacenada en la base de datos SCOPUS. Para llevar a cabo este estudio, se descargaron de SCOPUS los datos relativos a los documentos indexados en dicha base de datos; posteriormente, y a partir del recuento de frecuencias, se identificaron los patrones de producción de documentos por revista y por año, los países más productivos, los indicadores de colaboración en la autoría y el tipo de colaboración. Se halló un incremento en la coautoría y los índices de colaboración, así como en la colaboración internacional. La producción ha tenido un considerable aumento en el periodo comprendido entre los años 1996 y 2010. Si bien los índices de colaboración han aumentado, esta colaboración se efectúa, principalmente, entre países latinoamericanos.
Science's constant development makes it necessary to carry out studies that allow us to understand its global development, as well as the level of development of each field and the scientific production of a certain geographical area. The bibliometric study presented focuses on the scientific production published in Latin American journals within the Business, Management and Accounting (BMA) category of the Scimago Journal Rank and the information stored in the SCOPUS database. Thus, the information regarding the documents indexed in the SCOPUS database was downloaded. The patterns of document production per journal and per year were identified based on a frequency count. The most productive countries, the degree of collaboration and the type of collaboration were also identified. An increase in co-authorship and collaboration rates was pointed out, as well as an increase in international collaboration. There has been a considerable increase in the production between 1996 and 2010. Although the collaboration rates have increased, this collaboration is mainly maintained between Latin American countries.

Resumen En este trabajo se avanza en la definición de un conjunto de indicadores para medir la visibilidad de las revistas científicas de ciencias sociales de manera integral. Para esto, se considera el uso de fuentes diversas que permitan conocer la citación, la accesibilidad y los alcances de las publicaciones. Se toman como muestra 11 revistas de ciencias sociales editadas en Argentina incluidas en el SCImago Journal & Country Rank. Se analizan sus posiciones en el ranking y el número de citas de esta base y se lo compara con datos recogidos en Google Scholar utilizando la herramienta Publish or Perish. Además, se sistematiza información acerca de su accesibilidad e indicadores de uso y métricas alternativas de sus propios portales, de SciELO, Redalyc y de la base de datos Dimensions. Se pone en evidencia la parcialidad del impacto medido desde Scopus para este grupo de revistas y se demuestra que, al combinar las fuentes, se amplían y diversifican los datos de visibilidad. Para finalizar, se proponen una serie de indicadores básicos de visibilidad integral a partir de las fuentes disponibles que permiten a los gestores de revistas ofrecer datos más certeros de la citación y usos de las revistas y sus artículos.
Abstract This work seeks proposes a group of indicators that can be used to understand the visibility of social science journals in a more comprehensive way. To this end, the use of various sources of data pertaining to citation, accessibility, and reach are considered. A sample of 11 social science journals published in Argentina and indexed in Scimago Journal & Country Rank is used. The ranking and number of citations found in Scopus are analyzed and compared against data obtained from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish tool. In addition, data regarding the accessibility and use, as well as alternative metrics, are collected from SciELO, Redalyc, and Dimensions and systematized. The analysis highlights the limited ways in which impact is measured using Scopus data and shows that, by combining data from additional sources, new dimensions of visibility are made apparent. The article concludes with a proposal for a new set of comprehensive visibility indicators that rely on freely available data and allow journal managers and editors to offer a more complete picture of the citational impact and use of their journals and articles.

Résumé
RESUMEN En el marco del presente ensayo, esta discusión tiene como propósito poner en evidencia el embargo que ha venido sufriendo las producciones académica y la científica, en el ámbito de las publicaciones escritas, por parte de bases de datos propiedad de consorcios comerciales transnacionales, cuya misión corporativa ha estado orientada fundamentalmente al lucro. En este proceso de embargo, quienes investigan han perdido el dominio y la soberanía sobre su producción intelectual. La investigación se ha visto reducida a criterios de gestión, y la comunicación del conocimiento ha quedado restringida por las transacciones monetarias y la mercadotecnia empresarial.
ABSTRACT Within the framework of this essay, the purpose of this discussion is to highlight the embargo that academic and scientific productions have been suffering, in the field of written publications, by databases owned by transnational commercial consortia, whose corporate mission has been fundamentally oriented to profit. In this embargo process, researchers have lost control and sovereignty over their intellectual production. Research has been reduced to management criteria, and the communication of knowledge has been restricted by monetary transactions and corporate marketing.

Las variables objeto de estudio fueron la productividad científica, la distribución por ramas del conocimiento, el impacto por índice de citas, las tendencias investigativas y las redes de colaboración. Resultados: De 10341 documentos, 5282 fueron relacionados con las ciencias médicas (33,26 por ciento), y 29 son de autores cubanos. El crecimiento diacrónico fue exponencial y el número de citas se concentró en un número reducido de documentos. Predominó el Delphi clásico enfocado hacia el consenso, en detrimento de otras variantes más flexibles descritas en la literatura. Las redes de colaboración indicaron la existencia de 15 colegios invisibles por clústeres de co-autoría. Conclusiones: El uso del método Delphi en investigaciones médicas cubanas no es una eventualidad local, sino que responde a una tendencia mundial acrecentada durante los últimos años(AU)
Introduction: The Delphi method has been applied to several investigations in the field of Cuban medical sciences. Frequently, this method follows the classical approach of seeking consensus, although there are numerous variants in the field of prospective. Objective: To characterize the use of the Delphi method, in search of a pattern that facilitates identifying possible development trends in the field of medical sciences. Methods: We used scientometric techniques to process a data matrix obtained from Scopus. The search logic is based on the appearance of the most frequent terms Delphi method, Delphi study, or Delphi technique in titles, abstracts and keywords. The variables studied are scientific productivity, distribution by branches of knowledge, impact by citation index, research trends, and collaboration networks. Results: From 10 341 documents, 5282 are related to medical sciences (33.26 percent), and 29 are by Cuban authors. The diachronic growth is exponential and the number of citations is concentrated in a reduced number of documents. The classic Delphi focused on consensus predominates over other more flexible variants described in the literature which are decreasing. Collaboration networks indicate the existence of 15 invisible colleges by clusters of co-authorship. Conclusions: The use of the Delphi method in Cuban medical research is not a local event, but responds to a global trend that has increased during the last years(AU)

El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar los indicadores bibliométricos básicos del área de anatomía y morfología dentro de las bases de datos de Web of Science (en adelante WoS) y Scopus. La metodología llevada a cabo se basa en una búsqueda bibliométrica realizada en Web of Knowledge y Scopus. La muestra la conforman el conjunto de revistas indexadas en ambas bases de datos del área citada. Los resultados indican que el número de revistas fue mayor en Scopus que en WoS (42 vs. 21). El índice citas/artículo global es mayor en Scopus. Solamente hay dos revistas que permiten publicar sus artículos en un idioma diferente al inglés en WoS y tres en Scopus. En WoS, los valores de factor de impacto y del índice h tienen una correlación de 0,17, mientras que en la base de datos Scopus los valores de correlación entre el factor de impacto y del índice h, son muy superiores, tiene una correlación de 0,79. La mayoría de revistas están editadas en países anglosajones. Las conclusiones del estudio nos llevan a resaltar que existe un mayor número de revistas y citas en Scopus comparado con WoS. La utilización del factor de impacto para la evaluación de una revista parece ser un indicador más conveniente a corto plazo, siendo el índice h un indicador que refleja la influencia a largo plazo de una publicación y posiblemente refleja mejor la categoría científica de ésta. En la actualidad es conveniente aconsejar el uso de varios índices en la evaluación de la calidad de las revistas.
The aim of this study is to compare the basic bibliometric indicators in the area of anatomy and morphology inside the databases Web of Science and Scopus. The methodology carried out is based on a bibliometric search conducted in Scopus and Web of Knowledge. The sample comprises the set of journals indexed in both databases of the cited field. The results indicate that the number of journals was higher in Scopus than WoS (42 vs. 21). The overall reference / article index is higher in Scopus. There are only two journals that allow publication of papers in a language other than English, one in WoS and three in Scopus. In WoS, the impact factor value and h-index has a correlation of 0.17, while the Scopus database correlation values between the impact factor and h-index, are far superior, it has a correlation 0.79. Most journals are published in English-speaking countries. These findings lead us to highlight that there are a greater number of citations in Scopus journals compared with WoS. The use of the impact factor to evaluate a journal seems to be a more convenient short-term indicator, the h index is an indicator that reflects the long-term influence of a publication and could also better determine the article´s scientific category. Currently, the use of various indices is advisable in evaluating the quality of journals.

Introducción: el Comité editorial de la Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar se ha sumado al monitoreo de los resultados publicados por el Scientific Journal Rankings, al evaluar procedencia y calidad de sus contribuciones con mayor impacto en SCOPUS y Google Académico. Objetivo: identificar las contribuciones individuales más importantes de la RCMM a los indicadores de impacto de esta publicación en los últimos 10 años. Métodos: se utilizó la bibliometría evaluativa para comparar los indicadores de visibilidad e impacto de la Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar, tales como índice H y factor de impacto, con respecto a otros títulos de publicaciones homólogas; mediante la adaptación alternativa de una metodología utilizada internacionalmente y que debe servir de mecanismo de alfabetización informacional a especialistas interesadas/os, así como de reconocimiento público. Resultados: de los 437 artículos, 149 trabajos (el 34 por ciento) han obtenido el impacto esperado; 84 contribuciones provienen de autores del Hospital Militar Central Luis Díaz Soto (56,4 por ciento) y 34 autores con 50 trabajos (35,5 por ciento) el HMC Dr. Carlos J. Finlay; el 14,1 por ciento de las contribuciones con citaciones (21) se publicaron con colaboración institucional, provenientes del 14,1 por ciento del total de autores/as, donde predominaron 7 autoras principales de 9 en total. Conclusiones: se identificaron como factores de éxito para los 149 artículos originales publicados en la Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar los artículos provenientes de hombres investigadores de los hospitales militares centrales Dr. Luis Díaz Soto y Dr. Carlos J. Finlay, del total de 90 autores principales que lideraron la Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar(AU)
Introduction: The editorial committee of the Cuban Journal of Military Medicine (RCMM) has joined the monitoring of results published by the Scientific Journal Rankings, when assessing the source and quality of their contributions with greater impact in SCOPUS and Google Scholar (GS). Objective: Identify the most important individual contributions of the RCMM to the impact indicators of this publication in the last 10 years. Methods: Assessing bibliometry was used to compare RCMM indicators of visibility and impact, such as H index and impact factor, with respect to other titles of homologous publications; through the alternative adaptation of a methodology used worldwide and that should serve as a mechanism for information literacy to interested specialists, as well as public recognition. Results: Out of 437 articles, 149 papers (34 percent) have obtained the expected impact. 84 contributions are by authors of Luis Díaz Soto Central Military Hospital (56.4 percent), and 50 papers (35.5 percent) by 34 authors from Dr. Carlos J. Finlay HMC. 14.1 percent of the contributions with citations (21) were published with institutional collaboration, from 14.1 percent of the total number of female authors. There were 7 main authors who predominated out of 9. Conclusions: The articles by male researchers of Dr. Luis Díaz Soto and Dr. Carlos J. Finlay central military hospitals were identified as success factors for the 149 original articles published in the RCMM, out of a total of 90 authors who ranked RCMM(AU)
