Introduction:

The scientific production of the personnel managing a university major is important, because their contribution to knowledge production can be both a reference and a motivation for the students under their supervision.

Objective:

To describe the scientific production of the Nursing major’s management personnel from Peruvian universities.

Methods:

Observational, descriptive, retrospective and bibliometric study carried out in Peru during the year 2020. A search and analysis was made of the scientific production, in journals indexed in the Scopus, Web of Science and Redalyc databases, as well as in the SciELO collections and the Latindex catalog, from 2014 to 2019, corresponding to the personnel managing the Nursing major at 42 Peruvian state and private universities, accredited by the National Superintendence of University Higher Education. The authenticity of the management personnel was corroborated through Orcid, Google Scholar, CTI Vitae (ex-DINA) and the National Scientific, Technological and Technological Innovation Registry. For data analysis, statistics were used to describe proportions.

Results:

Forty-two managers were identified, seventeen of which have at least one scientific publication. The mean number of published manuscripts was 2.32 and the H index was 0.25. Four managers were identified to publish articles in journals indexed in Scopus and one did so, in addition, in Web of Science.

Conclusions:

The scientific production of the Nursing major’s managment personnel is low. Most of the published articles are original.
