QUIROZ-RUIZ, Hans Ramón  and  VEGA-FERNANDEZ, Jorge Arturo. Bibliometric Analysis of the Scientific Production and Contributions in the Biomedical Field of a Peruvian Faculty of Biological Sciences. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2023, vol.34  Epub Oct 15, 2023. ISSN 2307-2113.

The scientific production of the faculties of Biological Sciences in the biomedical field has not been evaluated in Peru. The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the scientific production and the contributions to the biomedical sciences of the Faculty of Biological Sciences of Pedro Ruiz Gallo National University, Peru (FCCBB-UNPRG). A descriptive study with a bibliometric approach was carried out. Three databases (Scopus, PubMed, and LILACS) were consulted to search for articles that had, at least, one author affiliated with the FCCBB-UNPRG. The following data were recorded: type of publication, language, authorship data, funding, year, publication area, journal data, and collaborating institutions. A descriptive analysis was carried out and network maps were elaborated, using the VOSviewer software. Forty-six documents were retrived; the majority were articles (n = 36, 78.26%), letters (n = 9, 19.57%) and case reports (n = 1, 2.17%); published in 30 scientific journals, mainly foreign. Greater contribution was observed in microbiology, virology and parasitology. Fotry-two collaborative institutions were involved. About 90% of the publications were not funded. A growth in the number of publications in different thematic areas has been noted in recent years, which demonstrates the commitment of FCCBB-UNPRG to research in the biomedical field and the training of researchers. The implementation of research policies including guidelines and/or directives is expected to achieve sustained increase in scientific production.

Keywords : bibliometrics; disciplines of biological sciences; scientific production indicators; investigation.
