The objective of this article is to explore the model of diffusion of the innovations suggested by Rogers applying it to the producers of the literature published on the "metrics" in Mexico. As units of analysis were taken each of the articles published in academic journals, book chapters, and papers presented at conferences that addressed some of the aspects of metric studies or the applications of these techniques in a discipline or subfield in Mexico or by Mexicans who published documents on this matter outside of Mexico. The period covered ranges from the first papers published at the beginning of the 1970s up to December 2017. 690 documents were produced and published by 1410 different authors in the research period. The theory of the diffusion of innovations helps to accompany the historical development of Mexican bibliometrics by adequately identifying its innovators, initial adopters, and other categories of the theory of the diffusion of innovations of Rogers.

The CES-D is a screening instrument to measure depressive symptoms during the last week. It is useful and easy to use because no trained staff is needed to administer and score it. Interest in depression has been consistent in Mexico in recent years, and the CES-D is one of the most used scales. The goal of this paper is to present a bibliometric analysis of scientific papers reporting data obtained with the scale; the papers had to be published in a scientific journal with a reviewing board, a group of peer reviewers and be ISNN registered. Materials were found in EBSCOhost and Google Scholar databases. 80 papers were published between 1986 and 2011. An average of three papers was published every year . Most of the studies were developed in Mexico City and nationwide; there was a bi-national study, a multinational one, and four in several states combined. The journals with the highest number of papers were: SALUD MENTAL, Salud Pública de México, and Revista Mexicana de Psicología. There were 17 institutions involved in coordinating the studies; six of them were international. 41% of the studies were conducted with adolescents, 32% with women, and 90% in urban contexts. There are some areas which need further study to build a more comprehensive understanding about the distribution and characteristics of depressive symptoms and hence new studies must be designed to include understudied groups and populations.

Introduction: A bibliometric review of the journal Acta Ortopédica Mexicana was performed. Material and methods: All the manuscripts received during 2008 and 2009 were analyzed to determine the rejection rate, the number of manuscripts returned for corrections, the stage of the arbitration process they were in, the number and type of manuscripts published, the number of articles received from abroad, the topics published, the number of consultations per country and the number of visits and articles consulted in their full version (PDFs). Results: We include 6 tables and one chart. Major results show that 193 manuscripts were received, which resulted in 178 articles produced with 118 images, and 15 were rejected. The articles were published in 12 issues (2 volumes), which represented 73 original papers, 37 clinical case reports, and the rest were various types of studies. We received papers from 5 countries, with Spain as the one that published the most (5). The most frequently published topics were those concerning the spine, musculoskeletal tumors, and the foot and ankle. We received 284,117 visits from 123 countries in the electronic version and overall the mean number of daily visits was around 1,000. Comment: The main problem of our journal is that our international citation index is very low, since the impact factor is 0.07. Another weakness is that the papers sent for arbitration remain for a long time with our reviewers and this delays their publication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Editorial research constitutes an innovation which brings a very useful background for editorial planning strategy in biomedical journals development. Objective. To effect the editorial analysis of the Military Health Journal (MHJ) for the 2002-2006 period. A retrospective descriptive study of papers published at the MHJ was done applying descriptive statistics and exploring their bibliometric basic parameters. Result RSM mission and vision are clearly stated at the bylaws. The MSJ celebrates currently its 59/th anniversary. 76.7% are military authors and 23.3% are civilian. There are 19.8 days of publishing delay. Institutional affiliation is military in 34%, civilian in 46% an internacional in 17%. Between 2002 and 2006 period, were published 328 papers, from which 260 (79.2%) were undergone to the Peer review. 61.5% on research; 20.7 on review; and 15% on clinical cases. As compared 1997-2001 with 2002-2006, there are a statistically increment in research (χ²=6.9;gl = 4; p < 0.050). Main reviewers per published article are 2.5. External reviewers constitutes 60.2%. Rejection index was 69.8, and acceptance index was 30.2. Time measure between submissional and acceptance was 70.9 days. 69.1% of author were men and 30.9% were women. Diffusion as well as visibility are adequate due to the inclusion in databases. Conclusions. MSJ comply with editorial standard and basic bibliometrics parameters. challenges and perspectives are described at the light of this analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The economic conditions in Mexico have contributed to the impoverishment of its population and, consequently a worsening of their health. Therefore, if research contributes to development, the study of significant research is justified, that is to say research whose results appear in core journals, a principle commonly known as the Bradford Law. The purpose of this study is to determine what has been the scientific growth in order to be able to assume, with empirical evidence, that Mexican researchers have overcome difficulties in order to publish in the most relevant journals, i.e. the most significant ones. Empirical data was built on the basis of the journal lists compiled by Garfield, which comprise of 200 journals that reached the highest levels of impact over a period of 15 years. A total of 155 health science journals were included in the analysis conducted through the Web of Science. A total of 1,293 records published between 1999 and 2004 were identified from a total of 829,400 papers that appeared in those journals and in within the same period globally. 80 % of the significant research carried out in Mexico was concentrated in two entities of the country. It was found that health research is the responsibility of public institutions, mainly academia. Also, that the most active disciplines were biochemistry and molecular biology, neurosciences, general and internal medicine, immunology and microbiology. The conclusion reached is that Mexican researchers have overcome the difficulties related with publishing papers in the core journals. However, Mexican institutions still have to strengthen themselves further in order for the research they carry out be reflected in papers that will take them into a market of visible science, that counts.

Background: During the spring of 2009, H1N1 influenza became the first pandemic of the 21st century. There are no bibliometric studies in Mexico that have analyzed this topic in relation to the generation of Mexican knowledge. The aim of this article is to determine the volume and impact of Mexican scientific output published in journals indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI) on influenza from January 1, 2000, to October 1, 2012. Methods: All the documents within SCI whose topic was influenza were included; in order to do this, we used the describers influenza or swine flu H1N1. The analysis included authorship, international collaboration, journals, document type, citations and address of correspondence. Results: In 2000-2012, 241 articles related to influenza were published. The years with the highest number of articles were 2009 (n = 53) and 2010 (n = 62). The journals with the highest quantity of papers were Salud Pública de México (n = 16), PLOS ONE (n = 13), Archives of Medical Research (n = 13) and Vaccine (n = 10). The most investigated area was infectious diseases (18.9 %), followed by internal medicine (14 %) and immunology (14 %), occupational health (13 %) and experimental medicine (12.3 %). Conclusion: The scientific output on influenza supposes near 1 % of the total of the medical-scientific production with a decline posterior to the outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza.

This presentation represents a bibliographical and experiential analysis on Knowledge Management within institutions of higher learning (IHL), considering the activities that must be developed in the programs of study and in general in the curriculum so as to be able to cope with the learning -- teaching process. The object of this paper is Knowledge Management; its direct objective is curriculum and the operational method proposed for achieving it is the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). During the development of this article the necessary interest of the academic community of the IHL will be considered so as to develop Knowledge Management throughout the institution. IHL must recognize that the most important element in any institution, be it administrative or educational, is its intellectual capital. This must be identified, taken care of, organized, registered and promoted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper displays some common and some specific trends found in a comparative analysis of bibliometric data shown by a set of master's degree theses, presented between 1996 and 2005 in five Mexican universities. This is done in order to derive from them some hypotheses about the profiles of production and reproduction in the academic field of communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
