RESUMO

La evaluación de la producción científica ha sido de vital importancia para el desarrollo adecuado de políticas científicas. En el escenario actual, mediado por la pandemia y la infoxicación, es trascendental el empleo de los métodos bibliométricos para conocer el desarrollo de las publicaciones científicas sobre la COVID-19. El objetivo fue analizar el perfil temático de la producción científica sobre la COVID-19, publicada en las revistas médicas cubanas durante los primeros 90 días de la pandemia. Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico, con diseño no experimental y enfoque cuantitativo de alcance descriptivo-correlacional. En total se recuperaron 106 documentos sobre la enfermedad, publicados en revistas cubanas, con los cuales se conformó una base de datos "ad hoc" en el gestor bibliográfico EndNote X. Se identificó un total de 184 palabras clave. La aplicación de las medidas de centralidad reveló 43 nodos y 286 relaciones. Se aplicaron medidas de centralidad grado nodal e intermediación. En la red de co-palabras resultante se distinguieron 41 ítems y, agrupados por frecuencia de aparición conjunta, nueve clústeres de palabras clave. Las palabras clave más productivas se corresponden con la temática analizada; destacan los términos COVID-19, coronavirus, infección por coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 y pandemia. El perfil temático de la producción científica sobre la COVID-19, publicada en las revistas médicas cubanas, demuestra la interdisciplinariedad de las investigaciones y se evidencia en el éxito de Cuba en el enfrentamiento a la pandemia.

The evaluation of scientific production has been of vital importance for the adequate development of scientific policies. In the current scenario, mediated by the pandemic and infoxication, the use of bibliometric methods is transcendental to know the development of scientific publications about COVID-19. The objective was to analyze the thematic profile of the scientific production on COVID-19, published in Cuban medical journals during the first 90 days of the pandemic. A bibliometric study was carried out, with a non-experimental design and a quantitative approach of descriptive-correlational scope. A total of 106 documents on the disease, published in Cuban journals, were recovered, with which an ad hoc database was created in the EndNote X bibliographic manager. A total of 184 keywords were identified. The application of centrality measures revealed 43 nodes and 286 relationships. Nodal degree centrality and intermediating measures were applied. In the resulting co-word network, 41 items and, grouped by frequency of joint occurrence, nine keyword clusters were distinguished. The most productive keywords correspond to the thematic analyzed; the terms COVID-19, coronavirus, coronavirus infection, SARS-CoV-2 and pandemic stand out. The thematic profile of the scientific production on COVID-19, published in Cuban medical journals, demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of the research and is evidenced by Cuba's success in facing the pandemic.

RESUMO

RESUMEN El objetivo de este artículo fue realizar un estudio bibliométrico de las publicaciones de la RPMESP (2010-2019) con el fin de posibilitar el mejoramiento de los procesos de gestión editorial y toma de decisiones de esta y otras revistas científicas con similar comportamiento. Es un estudio descriptivo con metodología bibliométrica que analiza por medio de indicadores de productividad, colaboración y de redes las principales tendencias de la revista. Los registros fueron recuperados de Scopu, del cual, luego de un proceso de normalización, se obtuvieron 565 documentos. El 96% de documentos se publicaron en idioma español y en colaboración (dos o más autores), esto refleja que hay mayor interés de autores latinoamericanos de publicar en colaboración en los últimos años. Se observó un incipiente grado de apertura internacional al recibir documentos de países como Estados Unidos, Colombia y España, tendencia que es necesario continuar trabajando en la búsqueda de un mayor grado de internacionalidad. Perú como país y la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia como institución tuvieron las mayores medidas de centralidad y poder en el análisis de redes. La posición estratégica de estos nodos puede ser aprovechada por la RPMESP para establecer estrategias y fortalecer relaciones de colaboración con todos los miembros de estas redes. Este paso podría mejorar el rol importante que cumple la RPMESP en la divulgación científica de estudios médicos en respuesta a las grandes demandas actuales.

ABSTRACT The objective of this article was to carry out a bibliometric study of the RPMESP publications (2010-2019) in order to enable the improvement of the editorial management and decision-making processes of this and other journals with similar behavior. It is a descriptive study with bibliometric methodology that analyzes through productivity, collaboration and network indicators the main trends of the journal. The records were recovered from Scopus, which, after a standardization process, obtained 565 documents. 96% of the documents were published in Spanish and in collaboration (two or more authors), which reflects the greater interest of Latin American authors in publishing in collaboration in recent years. An incipient degree of international openness was observed when documents were received from countries such as the United States, Colombia, and Spain, a trend that needs to be continued in the search for a greater degree of internationality. Peru as a country and the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia as an institution had the greatest measures of centrality and power in network analysis. The strategic position of these nodes can be used by the RPMESP to establish strategies and strengthen collaborative relationships with all members of these networks. This step could improve the important role that the RPMESP plays in the scientific dissemination of medical studies in response to the great demands of today.

RESUMO

In order to identify the strategic topics and the thematic evolution structure of data mining applied to healthcare, in this paper, a bibliometric performance and network analysis (BPNA) was conducted. For this purpose, 6138 articles were sourced from the Web of Science covering the period from 1995 to July 2020 and the SciMAT software was used. Our results present a strategic diagram composed of 19 themes, of which the 8 motor themes ('NEURAL-NETWORKS', 'CANCER', 'ELETRONIC-HEALTH-RECORDS', 'DIABETES-MELLITUS', 'ALZHEIMER'S-DISEASE', 'BREAST-CANCER', 'DEPRESSION', and 'RANDOM-FOREST') are depicted in a thematic network. An in-depth analysis was carried out in order to find hidden patterns and to provide a general perspective of the field. The thematic network structure is arranged thusly that its subjects are organized into two different areas, (i) practices and techniques related to data mining in healthcare, and (ii) health concepts and disease supported by data mining, embodying, respectively, the hotspots related to the data mining and medical scopes, hence demonstrating the field's evolution over time. Such results make it possible to form the basis for future research and facilitate decision-making by researchers and practitioners, institutions, and governments interested in data mining in healthcare.

RESUMO

The study of human rights (HR) is vital in order to enhance the development of human beings, but this field of study still needs to be better depicted and understood because violations of its core principles still frequently occur worldwide. In this study, our goal was to perform a bibliometric performance and network analysis (BPNA) to investigate the strategic themes, thematic evolution structure, and trends of HR found in the Web of Science (WoS) database from 1990 to June 2020. To do this, we included 25,542 articles in the SciMAT software for bibliometric analysis. The strategic diagram produced shows 23 themes, 12 of which are motor themes, the most important of which are discussed in this article. The thematic evolution structure presented the 21 most relevant themes of the 2011-2020 period. Our findings show that HR research is directly related to health issues, such as mental health, HIV, and reproductive health. We believe that the presented results and HR panorama presented have the potential to be used as a basis on which researchers in future works may enhance their decision making related to this field of study.

RESUMO

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of society. Researchers worldwide have been working to provide new solutions to and better understanding of this coronavirus. In this research, our goal was to perform a Bibliometric Network Analysis (BNA) to investigate the strategic themes, thematic evolution structure and trends of coronavirus during the first eight months of COVID-19 in the Web of Science (WoS) database in 2020. To do this, 14,802 articles were analyzed, with the support of the SciMAT software. This analysis highlights 24 themes, of which 11 of the more important ones were discussed in-depth. The thematic evolution structure shows how the themes are evolving over time, and the most developed and future trends of coronavirus with focus on COVID-19 were visually depicted. The results of the strategic diagram highlight 'CHLOROQUINE', 'ANXIETY', 'PREGNANCY' and 'ACUTE-RESPIRATORY-SYNDROME', among others, as the clusters with the highest number of associated citations. The thematic evolution. structure presented two thematic areas: "Damage prevention and containment of COVID-19" and "Comorbidities and diseases caused by COVID-19", which provides new perspectives and futures trends of the field. These results will form the basis for future research and guide decision-making in coronavirus focused on COVID-19 research and treatments.

RESUMO

Este estudio analiza la evolución de la estructura conceptual en el campo de las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia desde el año 1994 al 2017, así como la productividad y la calidad alcanzada en seis períodos, y particularmente en la fase actual. Para esto, se realizó un mapeo bibliométrico basado en los artículos científicos referidos al área, indexados en la colección principal de la Web of Science. Mediante el análisis de términos se construyeron redes en un marco longitudinal, lo que permitió la identificación de temas principales y los nexos entre estos. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que las Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia son un dominio de estudio relativamente nuevo, con un aumento sostenido en el volumen de artículos desde el período 1998-2001 al 2017 y un impacto creciente desde el año 1998 al 2013. El aumento en el volumen y el impacto de las publicaciones se relaciona con la progresiva complejización temática del campo, el cual evoluciona como conjunto y ha adquirido estabilidad en el período 1998-2001. En la actualidad, el área cuenta con un importante volumen de producción e impacto concentrado en sus temas motores (Experiencias Adversas en la Infancia, Factores de Riesgo y Violencia). Salud Física figura como principal núcleo del área básica y transversal, mientras que Disparidades Racial-Étnicas constituyen un tema principal desarrollado, pero aislado. Será necesario esperar a constatar la evolución del campo para asegurar si Resiliencia, y Embarazo y Posparto emergen para consolidarse como núcleos, o pierden su capacidad para aglutinar a otros nodos del área(AU)

The study examines the evolution of the conceptual structure in the field of the Adverse Childhood Experiences from 1994 to 2017, as well as the productivity and quality achieved in six periods, and particularly in the current stage. Bibliometric mapping was conducted based on scientific papers about the subject indexed in the main collection of the Web of Science. Analysis of terms led to the building of networks in a longitudinal frame, allowing identification of the main topics and the links between them. The results obtained allow to conclude that Adverse Childhood Experiences is a relatively new study domain, with a sustained increase in the number of papers from the 1998-2001 period to 2017 and a growing impact from 1998 to 2013. Increase in the number and impact of publications is related to the growing thematic complexity of the field, which evolves as a whole and has gained stability since the 1998-2001 period. Today, the area exhibits significant production and impact, particularly in its core themes (Adverse Childhood Experiences, Risk Factors and Violence). Physical Health is the main core in the basic and cross-sectional area, whereas Racial-Ethnic Disparities is a main topic developed, but isolated. Time is required to watch the evolution of the field and verify whether Resilience, and Pregnancy and Postpartum either become core themes, or lose their ability to bind to other nodes in the area(AU)
