ABSTRACT
Introduction: the productivity of scientists is currently an important element for science managers, by identifying trends and leadership in the different areas of science.Objective: to characterize the trends and impact of Cuban scientific production in Scopus on neurosciences between 2011 and 2021 in the Latin American context.
Method: observational, descriptive, bibliometric study of the Cuban scientific production on neuroscience published in Scopus between 2011 and 2021. The variables year, number of documents, documents published in Latin America, citable and citable documents in Latin America, number of citations were analyzed. per year, citations per year in Latin America (NcitL), self-citations, citations per document, h-index and position in Latin America and internationally according to productivity.
Results: Latin America and the Caribbean published a total of 41,304 articles, of which 533 (1,29 %) were authored by Cuba. The most productive years were 2021 (64 articles) and 2018 (60 articles). A total of 8 663 citations were received, which represented 1,42 % of the citations received in the period by Latin America. Of the total citations received, 0,1 % were self-citations. A trend towards a decrease in the number of citations per article was found. The h index remained at 72 during the period, except in 2015 when it rose to 89.
Conclusions: there is a low Cuban scientific production on neuroscience in journals indexed in Scopus, with volumes of articles and citations that follow a downward trend. It is necessary to articulate teaching, assistance and publication to alleviate this difficulty.
