ABSTRACT
Objective: Get to know the trends and features of published nursing research in Mexico in the last five years. Method. Descriptive, retrospective, transversal study. The sample was 358 published research articles.

Outcomes: Clinical themes were the main subject approached: 36.9% in the hospital context; 42.2% researched used nursing theory. The qualitative paradigm prevailed in the 77.5%, and the country central area has the greater number of publications. In the articles, Mastery is the academic degree of the first author with 41.1%. Discussion: Results evidence the existing gap among universities and hospitals in order to generate research, financing lack (there is no clarity on its origin), inadequate generation of new researchers (students do not participate as authors), questionable methodological strictness, with evident inconsistencies in some articles. Due international or other than nursing journals where Mexican nurses published were not analyzed, results con not be generalized. Despite results are congruent with previous studies, the improvement on the research articles quality is evident (is eminent). Conclusion: The study leaves the opportunity open to strengthen mainly methodological aspects that contribute to research development and foster reflection on strengthen opportunity areas in Mexican nursing research.REFERENCES
