Introduction:

crania-encephalic traumas are a challenge for health services. Receiving training on their care since undergraduate studies is a necessity.

Objective:

to characterize the scientific production on crania-encephalic trauma published in Cuban student journals between January 2015 and June 2021.

Materials and methods:

a bibliometric, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out. The universe was constituted by 9 articles, of which typology, year of publication, quantity of authors, province and centers of origin, quantity of references; quantity of articles per journal and number of times cited were analyzed.

Results:

77.8% of the articles were originals, and 2020 was the most productive year (55.6%). 44% of the articles were signed by five authors; 32.4% of the authors belonged to the province of Pinar del Rio. The average number of references per articles was 19.9; the Price Index was found between 0.45 and 0.85, with an average of 0.75. 55.6% of the publications appeared in the journal Universidad Médica Pinareña, the articles of which were also the most cited ones (85%).

Conclusions:
