Bibliometric analysis of the Cuban scientific production on asthma in Scopus
Keywords:
asthma, bronchial hyper-reactivity, inflammation, bibliometrics, research, CubaAbstract
Introduction: Asthma is an entity with high prevalence worldwide and in Cuba, which has prompted new research.
Objective: To characterize Cuban scientific production on asthma in the Scopus database.
Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive and bibliometric study was carried out on articles on asthma published in Scopus by Cuban authors, from 1973 to 2021. A search formula was used to retrieve the records. Bibexcel and VOSviewer were used for data analysis.
Results: 154 research papers on asthma were published; with a predominance of original (136) and review articles (12). The most productive areas were Medicine (144) and Immunology and Microbiology (34). Articles were published in 48 journals, of which 11 were Cuban, with the Revista Cubana de Medicina (Cuban Journal of Medicine) being the most productive. Mexico contributed the highest number of collaborations (10). The Teaching Hospital General Calixto García (15) was the most productive. 3 key word clusters were identified, with “human”, “asthma” and “Cuban” as central and most occurring terms.
Conclusions: There was a low scientific production on asthma, mainly focused on original articles, in the area of Medicine and in national journals. International collaboration was evident. The main areas of research were diagnosis, treatment, basic research in animal models, new therapeutics, risk factors and prevention.Downloads
