Background:

Research and publication by medical students have always been present in the history of science. The MediCiego magazine since its foundation has prioritized the dissemination of student research.

Objective:

To evaluate the scientific production of the medical sciences students in the MediCiego journal from 1995 to 2018.

Methodology:

A bibliometrics study based on the dimension of student scientific production was carried out. We worked with the journal numbers universe and defined as a form of compilation access and search on the website of the magazine.

Results:

126 articles were published with the student participation in 48 issues of 84 already published. The student authorship focused on 170 students from Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara and Pinar del Río. The years 2014 and 2015 were the most productive ones. The use of other sections predominated (95.24 %), with respect to the student (4.76 %). The highest participation was in the originals (72.22 %), followed by case reports (15.87 %) and review articles (7.94 %); It was low with the editorials, letter to the editor, outstanding images of Medicine and event reporting (0.79 %).

Conclusions:

Student participation in MediCiego magazine publications has been maintained in more than half of the published numbers in the analyzed period. Students in all types of articles authored more than a hundred articles; however, the use of the Student Section and the publication of award-winning works in events in recent years have been insufficient.
