Abstract

This study identifies and sets out some of the characteristics of the scientific production in Health Science of institutions located in Puerto Rico over the period from 1990 to 1998, by using the Science Citation Index (SCI) database, produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) of Philadelphia. Some one-dimensional bibliometric indicators have been used and techniques of one-variant statistics analysis have been applied to demonstrate its evolution in time. The increase in production of the research groups from the island in the Health Science area has been tested and the main areas of research, as well as some aspects related to co-operation between researchers at national and international levels, have been identified. Furthermore, the high level of visibility in the research is verified and the habits related to documentary typology and language in which researchers release their work, as well as magazines used for their publication is highlighted.
