Objective:

to characterize the scientific publications of the Villa Clara health authors of the municipality of Sagua la Grande during the 2019-2020 period.

Methods:

a retrospective longitudinal descriptive study was carried out on the scientific production of health professionals in the municipality. Theoretical and empirical methods were applied. To collect the information, a database on scientific production was reviewed, specifying scientific publications in the indicator, designed and updated by members of the postgraduate and research department of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Sagua la Grande.

Results:

it was found that the institutions where more professionals have published were the "Mártires del 9 de Abril" Teaching Hospital and the Faculty of Medical Sciences. Authors with teaching ranks of Assistant Professor and Associate Professor, M.Ds and nurses predominated, and few figures of professionals with researching ranks. Those who have published the least are those who work in primary health care units and those who are not doctors or nurses.

Conclusions:
