During the spring of 2009, H1N1 influenza became the first pandemic of the 21st century. There are no bibliometric studies in Mexico that have analyzed this topic in relation to the generation of Mexican knowledge. The aim of this article is to determine the volume and impact of Mexican scientific output published in journals indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI) on influenza from January 1, 2000, to October 1, 2012.
All the documents within SCI whose topic was influenza were included; in order to do this, we used the describers influenza or swine flu H1N1. The analysis included authorship, international collaboration, journals, document type, citations and address of correspondence.
In 2000-2012, 241 articles related to influenza were published. The years with the highest number of articles were 2009 (n = 53) and 2010 (n = 62). The journals with the highest quantity of papers were Salud Pública de México (n = 16), PLOS ONE (n = 13), Archives of Medical Research (n = 13) and Vaccine (n = 10). The most investigated area was infectious diseases (18.9 %), followed by internal medicine (14 %) and immunology (14 %), occupational health (13 %) and experimental medicine (12.3 %).
The scientific output on influenza supposes near 1 % of the total of the medical-scientific production with a decline posterior to the outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza.
2009年春季，甲型H1N1流感成为21世纪的首次大流行。在墨西哥，尚无文献计量学研究分析过与墨西哥知识生成相关的这一主题。本文旨在确定2000年1月1日至2012年10月1日期间发表在《科学引文索引》（SCI）收录期刊上的关于流感的墨西哥科学产出的数量和影响力。
纳入SCI中所有主题为流感的文献；为此，我们使用了描述词“流感”或“甲型H1N1流感”。分析内容包括作者身份、国际合作、期刊、文献类型、引用情况和通信地址。
2000 - 2012年，共发表了241篇与流感相关的文章。发文量最高的年份是2009年（n = 53）和2010年（n = 62）。发文量最多的期刊是《墨西哥公共卫生》（n = 16）、《公共科学图书馆·综合》（n = 13）、《医学研究档案》（n = 13）和《疫苗》（n = 10）。研究最多的领域是传染病（18.9%），其次是内科（14%）、免疫学（14%）、职业健康（13%）和实验医学（12.3%）。
关于流感的科学产出占医学科研产出总量的近1%，在2009年甲型H1N1流感大流行爆发后有所下降。
