“…The Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene tops the list with highest number of articles (23), followed by Eurosurveillance (14), Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (13), American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (11), PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases (11) and PLoS ONE (11). The distribution of 567 articles in 293 journals supported the concept of core journals.…”

“…These are applied to study the properties and behaviour of recorded knowledge and for evaluation of research activities and administration of scientific information [10]. Bibliometric analysis refers to the ''statistical support device that allows mapping and generating different information and knowledge handling and management indicators, particularly in scientific, technological and productivity-related information and communication systems'' [11]. Such studies not only correlate the need for research in certain conditions, but also provide an accurate overview of the scientific output over and time and its future impact, helping the library and information professionals in collection and organization of information resources relevant to the interests of stakeholders.…”

The research productivity on Zika virus (ZV) had been evaluated applying scientometrics. The different aspects of scientific literature on the subject under study accessible through 'Scopus' were explored. An advanced search was conducted in the database for 'Zika' and 'Virus' as main operators for analytical purposes. Search terms were connected using Boolean Operator 'AND' to retrieve relevant records. The search results were further filtered for journals articles. A total of 573 ZV associated records were retrieved including 6 duplicate items, after deleting which the relevant results remained 567. Lotka's law was applied for assessing the author productivity and Bradford's law of scattering was used to ascertain the distribution pattern of articles in journals. The results revealed a high degree of research/authorship collaborative on ZV. The authorship pattern did not fit to the Lotka's law with a value of n = 2. The distribution of articles in journals was found nearly acceptable to the Bradford's law of scattering, advocating the existence of a few core journals contributing significantly on ZV.

“…[13][14][15] En el presente trabajo se observó que las mujeres tuvieron una mayor participación al figurar como primer autor de los artículos analizados. Este dato difiere del obtenido por Estrada y colaboradores al evaluar la producción de la Revista Española de Salud Pública en la década 1991 -2000, puesto que hallaron una mayor proporción de autores hombres (56,5%).…”

RESUMENObjetivo: realizar un análisis bibliométrico de todos los artículos publicados en Ustasalud desde el segundo semestre de 2002 hasta el primero de 2014. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un análisis bibliométrico descriptivo que incluyó la totalidad de artículos publicados en los 24 núme-ros que fueron revisados en físico. Se determinó el diseño del estudio, el tipo de artículo, su área temática, el número de autores, el género, la afiliación, y la actividad del primer autor. Se calcularon medidas de tendencia central y dispersión así como frecuencias y proporciones, una prueba t de Student o U. de Mann Whitney fue aplicada según la distribución de la variable. Se calculó el índice de productividad de Lotka y el índice de transitoriedad. Resultados: se publicaron 170 artículos, el artículo original significó más de la mitad de la producción (62,9%) seguido del reporte de caso (17,1%). Los diseños de estudio más frecuentes fueron el de corte transversal (52,3%) y el diseño experimental in vitro (23,4%). Salud pública y epidemiología fueron los temas de interés predominantes con 56 (32,9%) trabajos. La afiliación del primer autor mostró una participación interna del 77,6% y externa del 22,4%; el autor con mayor número de publicaciones obtuvo un índice de Lotka de 1,4 (Concha SC), el índice de transitoriedad fue de 0,8 debido a que 84,7% de autores solo publicaron en una ocasión. Conclusiones: la revista Ustasalud ha divulgado gran cantidad de estudios que en su mayoría corresponden a productos realizados por estudiantes y docentes vinculados con la Universidad Santo Tomás TRENDS IN USTASALUD JOURNAL FROM 2002 TO 2014: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSISObjective: to analyze all papers published in Ustasalud journal since mid 2002 to the first semester of 2014. Methods: a descriptive bibliometric analysis including all articles published in the 24 issues of Ustasalud were reviewed. Study design, type of article, subject area, number of authors, and gender, affiliation, and activity of the first author were determined. Measures of central tendency and dispersion as well as frequencies and proportions were calculated; a Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U was applied according to the distribution of the variable. The productivity and isolation index were established. Results: 170 papers were published, it was found that more than half of the production (62.9%) was original papers followed by theme review articles (13.5%). The most common study designs were cross-sectional (52.3%) followed by experimental In vitro design (23.4%). Public health and Epidemiology were the main themes of interest with 56 (32.9%) papers. The affiliation of the first author showed that most authors (77.6%) belonged to the Universidad Santo Tomás and 22.4% was affiliated with external institutions. The author with the highest number of publications had a productivity index of 1.4 (Concha SC), the isolation index was 0.8, it meant that 84.7% of authors published only once in this journal. Conclusiones: Ustasalud had published several studies, mostly...

“…Nainar 5 reports that three out of four articles published between 1968 and 1998 were studies considered as having a low level of evidence (descriptive studies, case reports and expert opinions); while Poletto & Faraco 6 analyzed articles published in a Brazilian journal of pediatric dentistry, finding a frequency of only 4.3% in CT. For his part, Al-Namankany 7 analyzed the quality of CT publications, basing it on the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guideline, concluding that these articles were of poor quality and contained insufficient information to evaluate the validity of the study. All this indicates that studies in pediatric dentistry are in the main anecdotal in nature with a poor methodological quality.…”

Abstract:There are many studies about the methodological quality of articles in pediatric dentistry. However, there is no up-to-date information or the use of measurement guidelines designed and validated for this purpose. The aim of this article is to determine the methodological quantity and quality of clinical trials (CT) in pediatric dentistry published in four Web of Knowledge (ISI-indexed) journals between 2008 and 2012. Clinical trials published in four ISI pediatric dentistry journals were evaluated. Name of the journal, year of publication, country of the corresponding author, type of CT and main subject were registered. A scale of methodological quality (MINCIR) from 11 to 36 points was applied to evaluate each article, establishing 18 points as the cutoff for "good methodological quality". The quality was calculated by country, subject area and journal. Of 1,151 published articles, 149 (12.5%) clinical trials were selected. Their methodological quality was 15.7±2.7 points. 17% of the CT achieved a score equal to or greater than a methodological quality considered "acceptable". One in every 6 published clinical trials was of good methodological quality. This would actually make it difficult to adopt the results of these investigations into routine clinical practice or to include them in future systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
