Bibliometric analysis of scientific journals is vitally important both nationwide and on the level of institutions and researchers. The general purpose of the research herein described was to determine the scientific production of the Cuban Journal of Pediatrics in the period 2012-2018. A descriptive study was conducted applying bibliometric research methods. The sample was the 216 original papers included in volumes 84 to 90 and a supplement. The indicators applied were productivity, collaboration, impact and scientific literature consumption. The results observed were a predominance of not very productive authors and a trend toward scientific collaboration expressed in cooperation networks between institutions and authors. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the original papers published in the Cuban Journal of Pediatrics in the period 2012-2018 made it possible to arrive at conclusions informing further decision-making and potentially contributing to substantial improvement in the editorial policy of the journal.

Keywords : Pediatrics; bibliometric study; original papers; scientific production; impact and visibility.
