ABSTRACT

Introduction: bibliometric analysis is a useful way of assessing the past, present and future publications related to a given area in a qualitative and quantitative way. Objective: to determine characteristics of national authors productivity in the field of spine surgery research across the time. Material and methods: an online research was performed using the Elsevier´s database Scopus in October, 2021. All studies were assessed for the following parameters: year, title, access, language, journal, type of article, focus of research, objective of research, cites, authors and institutions. Results: a total of 404 publications were identified between 1973 and 2021. Between 1991-2000 decade to 2011-2021 decade the number of published articles tended to increase by 68.28 times. The largest number of articles was from South-Central Region (66.16%), followed by Western (15.03%) and Northwest (8.27%). The highest h-index was found for USA journals (102). The highest number of articles was published in Coluna/Columna (15.53%), followed by Cirugía y Cirujanos (10.52%) and Acta Ortopédica Mexicana (8.52%). Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación published the largest number of articles (17.57%), followed by Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente del IMSS (6.67%) and Centro Médico ABC (5.44%). Conclusions: the number of articles published in the field of spine surgery in Mexico has increased rapidly in the past 15 years. In terms of quality, publications written in English are the most cited. The geographical distribution of research in Mexico is centralized, the largest number of publications was from South-Central Region of Mexico.
