Resumo: The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of the quantity and visibility of Cuban scientific production in Public Health and Medicine to determine if they follow the same patterns of scientific communication and the recommended best practices for publication. Bibliometric indicators of quantity, visibility and cooperation were extracted from the SCImago Institutions Rankings website, which is based on Scopus data, in the field of Medicine and category of Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health from 2003 to 2011. Cuba has a relatively high position in the rankings of scientific production in both Medicine and Public Health within the international and regional contexts, but its impact is ranked among the last countries. The production trend of both fields has increased, but public health is increasing faster. Leadership is high, but international collaboration is below expectations. Publication in high impact journals (first quartile) and articles in the set 10% most cited documents (excellence) are scarce. Thus, it may be concluded that the volume and impact of publication are not in accordance with the scientific potential of Cuban health. We recommend increasing scientific cooperation, publishing articles in high impact journals, training human resources and following the international recommendations for good editorial and scientific publication practices.

Cuba tiene una posición relativamente alta en los rankings de volumen de producción científica tanto enMedicina como en Salud Pública en los contextos internacionales y regionales, mientras que en impacto está entre los últimospaíses. La tendencia de la producción es al crecimiento, aunque en Salud Pública es más acelerado. El liderazgo es alto, pero lacolaboración internacional está por debajo de lo esperado. La publicación en revistas de alto impacto (primer cuartil) y los artículos en el 10% más citado (excelencia) son escasos. Se concluye que el volumen y el impacto de la publicación no están acorde al potencial científico de salud cubana. Se recomienda incrementar la colaboración científica, la publicación de artículos en revistas de alto impacto, la preparación de los recursos humanos y seguir las recomendaciones internacionales sobre las buenas prácticasde edición y publicación científica.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2014-11-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtículo revisado por paresAvaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6115Transinformação; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2014)Transinformação; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2014)Transinformação; v. 26 n. 3 (2014)2318-08890103-3786reponame:Transinformação (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/transinfo/article/view/6115/3826Copyright (c) 2022 Transinformaçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZACCA-GONZÁLEZ, Grisel VARGAS-QUESADA, Benjamín CHINCHILLA-RODRÍGUEZ, Zaida de MOYA-ANEGÓN, Félix 2024-04-01T15:41:43Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/6115Revistahttp://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/transinfo/indexPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpsbi.nucleodeeditoracao@puc-campinas.edu.br2318-08890103-3786opendoar:2024-04-01T15:41:43Transinformação (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
