“…Our study reveals that 2% of the studies were published in a journal with an unspeci ed JIF, 37% in journals with JIF of 1.00-1.99, 44% with JIF from 2.00 to 24.99 and none in journals with a high JIF (25.00-50.00). This con rms recent ndings on the publications of Mexican spine surgeons [14] , which shows a per capita annual index of 0.05 (one paper per author every 20 years), and that with a mean value of JIF of 0.53.…”

“…These ndings should provide instrumental information and awareness for those who will engage in research in order to propose treatment alternatives. Along recent bibliometric analyses from Mexico [14] , we agree on the fact that further strategies should be implemented to increase the number and track of Mexican contributions to the scienti c literature. A national registry on brain tumors would increase our national productivity and to encourage multicentric protocols as that would raise awareness among academics from those institutions, because this gap in knowledge shows at a national level have not shown interest in this subject.…”

Background: Bibliometrics is a completive method of research and analyses useful to understand the collective contributions of a given scientific community. The detail of the quantity (productivity) and impact as a surrogate marker of quality can shed light on what we have done (number of articles) and how we impact others (citations). It also shows the direction the community can take for further research, guided by its shortcomings and successes. The publications of Latin American medical institutions on brain neoplasms have never been studied.Objective: Analyze a clinical and experimental approach, identifying core journals, type of article, increase of published material with time, number of citations. Additionally, we identified the most researched topics involved in brain tumor literature.Material and methods: We harvested the articles published by at least one author form the Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía form Mexico since its inception in 1964 to 2020. Key bibliometric parameters, as journal of publication, type of paper, number of articles and citations were recorded. Results: In cerebral neoplasms, our institution produced 291 articles (clinical versus experimental: 227 vs. 64). With a modest productivity before 2000, the production had increased 8-fold by 2019. The main topic is glioblastoma, also with the highest number of citations. Researchers prefer to conduct original investigations rather than to subject reviews. Most papers were published in Archivos de Neurociencias (institutional journal produced in Spanish), most papers published in English were in Journal of Neuro-Oncology. Discussion: Productivity had an encouraging growth in the last decade, but more emphasis should be given to target international journals, which offer a high number of readers and citations. Strategies to reach these goals have to be found and should be implemented.Conclusion: Research on brain tumors in Mexico has recently showed buoyancy and we should profit from this inertia to give a definitive boost to it, which might benefit authors and institutional prestige. But mainly, with a more robust research, we could find better solutions for our patients, applicable in the national and international context.

“…A systematic review evaluated the scientific production of the Mexican Association of Spine Surgeons (Asociación Mexicana de Cirujanos de Columna) from its inception in 1998 to 2018 and found 441 articles, 320 of which were published in indexed journals. 18 The most frequent evidence level was III (211 articles, 48%), and the highest was I (12 articles, 3%). The primary study objective was clinical research, with 308 pieces (70%), and the main study focus was trauma, with 103 articles (23%).…”
