Abstract

espanolObjetivo: Identificar las diferencias existentes entre la investigacion que se publica en revistas de maxima visibilidad, y el resto de la produccion cientifica cubana sobre Estomatologia.Materiales y Metodos: Se realizo un analisis bibliometrico del periodo 1995-2017 utilizandose Scopus como fuente de datos. Se empleo la siguiente estrategia de busqueda: pais (Cuba), area tematica (Dentistry), origen de los articulos (journals), tipos de articulos (originales y revisiones) y anos de publicacion (1995-2017). Se estudiaron indicadores bibliometricos de produccion, visibilidad, liderazgo, colaboracion e impacto. Resultados: Se publicaron 521 articulos en 21 revistas, de las cuales 20 son internacionales y 13 pertenecen al primer cuartil, encabezadas por Clinical Oral Implants Research. Existio predominio de la publicacion en espanol, sin colaboracion, en la Revista Cubana de Estomatologia. En la medida en que las revistas se ubican en los cuartiles de mayor visibilidad disminuye significativamente el liderazgo cientifico cubano (p=0,0144). Se confirmo la alta dependencia de los indicadores basados en analisis e citaciones, asi como de la colaboracion internacional, en relacion con el cuartil de las revistas. Conclusion: La produccion cientifica nacional en revistas del primer cuartil es la que ejerce mayor influencia sobre la comunidad cientifica internacional, depende de la colaboracion internacional para alcanzar altos niveles de visibilidad e impacto, y aun no es capaz de generar sistematicamente investigaciones que impacten de manera significativa sobre la comunidad cientifica internacional. EnglishAim: To identify the differences between Cuban scientific research published in highly visible journals and the rest of the national dental scientific output. Materials and Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using 1995-2017 data from the Scopus database. The following search strategy was used: country (Cuba), subject area (Dentistry), publication source (Journals), article type (Original Research, Review Article). Bibliometric indicators of output, visibility, leadership, collaboration and impact were examined. Result: 521 articles were published in 21 journals, of which 20 are international and 13 are within the first quartile (Q1), led by Clinical Oral Implants Research. There was a prevalence of Spanish language publications, without collaboration, and in Revista Cubana de Estomatologia. The Cuban scientific leadership significantly diminishes in the journals located in the highest visibility quartile (Q1) (p=0.0144). The high dependency of citation-based indicators, as well as international collaboration, in relation to the journals’ quartile, was confirmed. Conclusion: The national scientific output in first quartile journals that has the biggest influence on the scientific international community is dependent on international collaboration to reach high levels of visibility and impact, and the national scientific output is not still able to systematically generate research that impacts in a significant way the scientific international community.
